Original US Military issue Tropical Combat Coat
100% cotton non-ripstop poplin
An early 3rd pattern coat with a back yoke and a hanging loop under the collar.
The arms have been shortened and the stitching resembles the work of a South East Asian tailor - Loose tension with thick, natural-dyed cotton thread. The work was likely completed in-country and then the coat was discarded immediately after the work was completed.
Dated 1967
In near-pristine condition with no signs of actual wear. The collar has some very light discolouration, but this is more than likely due to storage. There is a light stain on the bottom of the back as seen (this may be removed, but we have not tried to preserve it's condition).
Labelled size large regular, but will comfortably fit a UK x-large
