The "Mackinaw Coat" was a masterpiece of cold-weather outerwear adopted by the U.S. Army during World War II in order to survive the harsh winters of the war .Also known as a "jeep coat," this jacket was a crystallization of practicality and functional beauty that was useful for front-line soldiers, rear support troops, tank soldiers, and truck drivers.

This product is an original WWII model manufactured in the 1940s. It has a khaki cotton shell, typical of WWII, and a luxurious thick wool lining. The wool lining has a texture similar to that found in tankards jackets of the same period, covering the entire body from the torso to the collar, and is designed to withstand extreme cold. The distinctive large shawl collar (loofah collar) can be buttoned up to the top to provide protection from the cold without the need for a scarf. In addition, the double-breasted + waist belt construction prevents wind from entering and gives the silhouette a sense of weight. The angle of the front pockets, the cuff straps, and other practical details are also appealing. It can be said to stand like an American version of a trench coat.

As for the condition, it is overall good and very solid for its time. However, there are a few stains and small spots commensurate with its age, as well as a few insect bite marks on the wool liner. However, there are no problems with use, and the real vintage look and feel is highly appreciated by collectors. The massive appearance and the background of war history have sublimated this item into an outerwear that can be talked about beyond the framework of mere winter clothes. As a war legacy and as a fashion item, it is a perfect gem from both perspectives. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
