Genuine US Military issue
Circa. 1950s
The M-1951 field jacket carried over several design aspects and features from its predecessor, the M-1943. The overall design is very similar, with a few key elements that were added or improved upon. Notably, the main front closure is secured with a zip, covered by a snap-fastener-lined flap and the pockets are also secured with snap-fasteners.
The Olive Green 107 (OG-107) shell is a treated 9-ounce wind-resistant cotton sateen, lined with a lightweight wind-resistant cotton poplin. During the 1960s, many officers preferred the sharper look of the M-1951 instead of the then-standard M-1965 jacket.
Lightly distressed with signs of real wear - Stains, discolouration, light damage and lots of character. The buttons for the removable liner have been removed, but all other buttons, fittings and fixtures are present and working.
