WWII First Pattern M41 Field Jacket
It’s difficult to find clean M41 field jackets. It’s near impossible to find clean first pattern M41 jackets! This first pattern “Parsons” field jacket is in barely used condition. It retains all its original buttons with original thread. The zipper is perfect and there are no holes or issues with the fabric other than a few faint stains that may be able to be laundered. I decided to leave the jacket as-is. Knowing this poplin material can become threadbare easily, the original owner of this jacket took the precaution of nicely bolstering the hems and cuffs with matching poplin material.
All insignia is nicely machine sewn to the jacket. There are faint traces of previous insignia under the chevrons due to this senior NCO advancing in rank. Being that this is a first pattern M1941 field jacket, it has button flaps over the slant pockets and no epaulets. The cloth quartermaster tag is still sewn inside the pocket, but its barely legible. A laundry ID number is penned in the collar.
The jacket measurements are:
- Armpit to Armpit – 23 inches
- Top of Collar to Bottom Hem – 25.5 inches
- Shoulder to Cuff – 24 inches
- Armpit to Cuff – 17 inches
