1940s U.S. Army M-43 Women's Field Jacket (S)

A distinctive piece of World War II American military clothing, this vintage 1940s U.S. Army M-43 Women's Field Jacket features the classic olive drab colorway and a tailored silhouette specifically designed for female military personnel.

Introduced during World War II, the M-1943 field uniform represented a major evolution in American military clothing. The women's version adapted the functional construction of the standard field jacket with narrower shoulders, a more fitted waist, and proportions suited to female service members.

Constructed from durable olive drab cotton, this example features a five-button front closure, four flap pockets, adjustable button cuffs, shoulder epaulettes, and a distinctive high collar with a buttoned throat latch. Its adjustable waist and shorter silhouette distinguish it from the standard men's M-43 Field Jacket.

This example displays a beautifully aged olive green finish, with natural fading, scattered marks, and subtle signs of wear throughout. The original brown buttons and well-preserved military construction give the jacket an authentic vintage character.

An excellent piece for collectors of WWII militaria, vintage U.S. Army clothing, and original women's military uniforms.
