Canadian Signals Corps Officers Patrols Jacket Named Dated 1961

This Canadian Signals Corps Officers Patrols Jacket is an original military garment dated 1961. Constructed from high-quality dark blue wool, the jacket features scarlet facings on the collar and cuffs, consistent with Signals Corps officer uniforms of the period. The interior is fully lined and includes a manufacturer’s label with the date and the officer’s name, providing documented provenance. Insignia and buttons display the correct Canadian Signals Corps motifs, and the tailored cut is representative of early 1960s Canadian military dress standards. The jacket was intended for formal and semi-formal duties, such as parades and public appearances, rather than field wear. This piece reflects design elements carried over from earlier 20th-century British military traditions, as seen in Commonwealth forces. The jacket is a relevant example for those studying mid-20th-century Canadian military uniforms and the specific distinctions of the Canadian Signals Corps during this era.
