This is a real original M-42 Jump Jacket, the legendary combat uniform issued to U.S. Army paratroopers (paratroopers) during World War II. This is a large size, size 40R. This is a rare item with very few in existence.

The M42 jacket is an iconic item worn by U.S. paratroopers in many historic battles, including the Normandy landings (D-DAY) and Operation Market Garden. Its high mobility and functionality have made it an overwhelmingly popular item among the many WWII vintage jackets. It is a legendary jacket that influenced the later design of jungle fatigues.

This item is missing the waist belt and has some large stains on the front, sleeves and inside. The stains are probably due to rust from the period or discoloration from storage, and may be difficult to remove completely, but can be mitigated to some extent by cleaning.

All buttons and snaps are present, and the stitching and fabric remain in good condition, making this a very valuable piece for an actual collection. Above all, the larger size of 40R has a small number of bullets, making it a rare size that should not be missed by collectors as well as those who intend to wear it.

This piece of clothing, which has the feel of having been used on the battlefield, is not just a piece of clothing, but a piece of "history" itself that has survived through the ages. It is the pinnacle of military vintage that conveys the bravery and aesthetics of the U.S. paratroopers to the present.
