Canadian Army Korean War Greatcoat Dated 1952 Size 7

This Canadian Army greatcoat is an original military issue from the Korean War period, dated 1952. Constructed from heavy wool, the coat is designed to provide warmth and durability in cold weather conditions. The garment features a classic double-breasted front with metal buttons inscribed with the Canadian Forces insignia. Shoulder epaulettes, a rear vent, and two large external pockets are present, consistent with mid-20th century military design. The interior is partially lined, with the original maker’s label indicating the date of manufacture and size specification as “7.” This size generally corresponds to a medium to large fit, suitable for layering over uniform garments. Such greatcoats were commonly issued to Canadian soldiers serving in the Korean conflict and following years, offering both protection and a standardized appearance within the armed forces. The coat’s style and markings are characteristic of Canadian military outerwear from the early 1950s.
