Elegant Brown Utility Jacket for Women

For your consideration is a highly desirable, officially dated June 3, 1944, U.S. Army M-1944 Wool Field Jacket (Ike Jacket). This jacket was manufactured by Albert Turner & Co. just three days prior to the Allied invasion of Normandy, representing the very first production patterns of this iconic uniform. ​Historical Highlights: ​Significant Dating: The June 3rd production date makes this a "must-have" for ETO (European Theater of Operations) or D-Day specialized collectors. ​Unit History: Faint "ghost" stitching on the left shoulder indicates this jacket likely belonged to a soldier in the First United States Army (FUSA), the lead element of the Normandy landings. ​Authenticity: All original buttons are present, and the Philadelphia Q.M. Depot tag is exceptionally clear and readable. ​Condition: ​Overall: Excellent vintage condition with a very clean interior lining. ​Wear: Minor moth nicks on the sleeves consistent with age and long-term storage (see photos). ​Insignia: This is a "salty," combat-used jacket that has been stripped of its patches, providing a perfect blank canvas for restoration or display as-is. ​Specifications: ​Size: 36R ​Pattern Date: 5/12/44 ​Contract: W-36-030 qm-5841
