The M1941 Field Jacket, officially designated the Jacket, Field, OD, was the standard U.S. Army combat jacket during the early years of World War II. Introduced in 1941, it saw extensive service in North Africa, Italy, and the early European campaigns until gradually replaced by the M1943 model.
Made from tightly woven olive drab cotton poplin with a lightweight wool flannel lining, the jacket provided limited warmth and wind resistance but was favored for its clean, practical design. It features a zipper front closure with button storm flap, two slanted slash hand pockets, adjustable button cuffs, and a bi-swing back for freedom of movement. The stand-and-fall collar can be worn open or closed with a throat tab, and an internal drawcord allows waist adjustment.
This faithful reproduction matches the original 1941 Quartermaster specifications and is suitable for all early-war U.S. Army, airborne, and armored impressions.
