Grades - 

• Grade 1.5 - Fantastic condition given the item's age, but there are signs of mothing / small holes and a few little markings which will need scrubbing out. The bottom button broke off when I was photographing and sadly do not have a matching thread colour to resew it myself. No major holes or tears and all original buttons are included. Over all great shape for its age.

Any questions please feel free to ask!

An absolute classic and icon of World War 2, this is perhaps the most memorable piece of American kit from the period despite only becoming general issue in late 1944. The initial intention of Ike jacket under Eisenhower was for battle dress and general use in the field but it quickly became an item for out of combat activities.

This particular jacket belonged to an officer and isn't too different to the usual soldier's jacket, aside from a nice lining throughout the jacket. 

Made of 100% wool in a classic olive drab colour, the jackets are quite durable and insulating. The jacket comes with 2 button chest pockets and 2 internal slits for more personal items. In harsh weather the lapel can be turned over and buttoned for wind cover while the cuffs can be fastened closer for better insulation. There are also side adjusters on the waist for creating your perfect tailored fit. 

All round this is an excellent piece of antique militaria that even without many distinctions has a great story to tell.
