Description
Although these garments were designed for armored vehicle crews, troops in all branches of the service endeavored to acquire them.
Europe was cold and wet, and this uniform was far superior to the fair-weather M41 Field Jacket. The jackets were particularly popular and many were obtained by "alternative means" by infantrymen, artillerymen and yes, even paratroopers. Thus, it is historically correct for nearly any member of the US Armed Forces to wear Winter Combat Uniforms or components thereof.

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.
