Jacket, Mountain, US Army, 36R
Rare genuine WWII US Army mountain jacket, made in windproof and water-resistant cotton cloth, introduced in 1942.
This type features two patch pockets with flap-covered Conmar zippers on the brest and two buttoned-flap, cut-in pockets on the hips. The jacket closes down the front with a Talon zipper and four buttons, including one under the collar. Two wide loops are located on the sides in order to house a waist belt — included — and thus adjust the tightness.
The rear is fitted with a large gusset compartment, closing with another Talon zipper, intended for carrying spare clothes and combat rations when the rucksack was not carried. The inner suspenders, were designed for distributing the overall weight when the various cargo pockets were loaded.
Size 36R.
Complete and in very good overall condition; all zippers are in working order.
