Condition:
In well-worn vintage condition, showing obvious wear, fading, soiling, dust and dirt from use, age and storage.
The jacket appears to have gone a long time without laundering and has not been washed or cleaned by me.
Missing one button from each cuff. Remaining buttons are present. Front zipper and snap closures appear to be working properly.
Fabric shows overall age and use, including scattered spots, discoloration and general surface wear.
A genuinely broken-in military field jacket with plenty of character. If you’re looking for a clean, freshly laundered example, this isn’t it. If you prefer an original vintage jacket with years of wear and natural patina, this one might be for you.
Please review all photographs carefully for condition and additional details.
