WW2 Canadian Army PPCLI Officer’s Tropical Jacket

This is an original World War II-era Canadian Army officer’s tropical jacket, attributed to the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI). Issued for service in warm climates, this jacket is constructed from lightweight khaki fabric, designed for comfort and practicality in tropical environments. The jacket features traditional officer distinctions, including tailored lapels, pleated breast pockets with scalloped flaps, and lower bellows pockets. Canadian army insignia and PPCLI-specific badges are sewn to the sleeves, signifying its regimental affiliation. It typically includes cloth belt loops for an optional waist belt (not included) and retains original period buttons and hardware. The interior is partially lined for added durability. This garment represents standard-issue field wear for Canadian officers serving overseas in tropical regions during the Second World War, with design elements reflecting both British and Canadian uniform standards of the period. Suitable for collectors focused on Canadian military history or World War II uniforms.
