Buzz Rickson's U.S. Army M-1943 Field Jacket - Olive Drab

1 / 7

Field Notes

Born as the successor to the M-1941, the 1943 Field Jacket is a versatile, lightweight offering, which has here been faithfully recreated by the virtuosos at Buzz Rickson’s. Cut in an oversized shape, perfect for layering, this jacket offers a cotton ‘back satin’ outer shell, which boasts water resistant properties, which would have been essential in tropical warfare.

To avoid snagging on accessories, the brand have reproduced the concealed button closure on the front, which is lined with a set of mil spec Urea buttons, while a throat tab allows the collar to be worn up for further protection. Four pleated patch pockets adorn the front, all with secured buttoned flaps, while a detachable hood is effortlessly buttoned into the shoulder epaulettes.
