Original WWII US Army M-1943 Field Jacket – 370D Pattern, c.1944

An original US Army M-1943 Field Jacket, most likely dating to 1944 and attributed to the 370D specification. The M-1943 Field Jacket was introduced during WWII as part of the US Army's transition toward a more versatile layered combat uniform. Its practical design and durable construction made it one of the most recognizable American military garments of the era. This example is particularly special for its remarkable preservation, with no apparent holes, tears, repairs, or significant distressing despite being over 80 years old. The original neck instruction label remains intact, consistent with the 370D specification introduced in February 1944. The lower pocket label has faded, but other construction details support its period attribution. Featuring four front pockets, button-front closure, adjustable waist drawstring, button-adjustable cuffs, and distinctive wide lapels.
