Boots, Paratrooper, Made in USA, Corcoran
Made in USA reproduction of the legendary brown leather jump boots by Corcoran. This is the finest replica of American paratrooper jump boots on the market, produced by the original manufacturer still active today. Crafted from performance “spit shineable” leather, these boots are unlined for authenticity and feature internal ankle support. The internal gusseted tongue, stitched all the way up the shaft, sits beneath leather laces, while the reinforced back strap and pronounced, durable toe cap give the Corcoran its iconic bean-shaped silhouette. Built on the Garrison Army Munson last for superior fit, they include a PORON® cushioned insole, a ribbed steel shank, and welt construction with a leather midsole. The two-piece sole—black rubber painted brown—is oil-resistant and anti-slip, attached with double stitching and small nails. The beveled heel, also oil-resistant and perforated for shock absorption, adds both grip and comfort. The original manufacturer’s label is sewn at the top of the shaft.

Opener, Can, P38, US Army
P38 can opener. Introduced in 1942, it was carried by thousands of GIs throughout the Second World War. This tiny, lightweight, P-38 collapsible can opener was developed during World War II, reported to have been a rapid 30 days design project in the summer of 1942 by the U.S. Army Subsistence Research Laboratory in Chicago, IL. The origin of the name is not clear, like the jeep. Some claim it required exactly 38 punctures around a can to open it. Others say it performed with the speed of a P-38 fighter plane. Whatever the case, it is clear this little device has to be considered one of the most perfect inventions ever designed for use in combat.
