Jacket, Field, M-1941, Artic

Amazing genuine WWII US M-1941 'Arctic' jacket, cut in the style of the M-1941 field jacket but lengthened to cover the hips. Featuring blanket lining and made in the same cotton twill as the other items in the winter range, it had buckle and strap adjusters at the side of the waist, and across the wrist. 

Mostly issued to Army units deployed in the Aleutian Islands ans Alaska, they were also worn by troops fighting in the ETO -- particularly in the Ardennes.
