This jackets most distinguished features are the two large patch pockets on the hips and two diagonal flap pockets on the chest. The draw cord tunnel around the waist nips in the large A-line silhouette of the jacket to give it more a fitted shape. Adjustable tabs on the sleeve allow the cuff to be pulled in and more fitted around the wrist. This particular jacket is one of the few military pieces made from cotton that are actually fitted with a hood.
We were unable to find an official date for this piece or name, we assume it is part of the U.S. Army uniform but the diagonal pockets and hood aren't typical features of the regular military tunics. If there are any budding historians or vintage military clothing collectors out there that have anymore information for us, we'd love to hear from you, please feel free to leave a comment below.
