WW2 Canadian RCAF Officer’s Service Dress Jacket

The WW2 Canadian RCAF Officer’s Service Dress Jacket is a regulation uniform garment worn by Royal Canadian Air Force officers during the Second World War. This example is made from blue-grey wool serge, consistent with wartime RCAF specifications. The jacket features a tailored cut with a notched lapel, four external pockets with pleated flaps, and a belt at the waist. Insignia typically includes brass ‘CANADA’ shoulder titles and embroidered or metal rank insignia on the epaulettes, although exact details may vary according to rank and period. Buttons are embossed with the RCAF eagle and crown emblem. The interior is partially lined, with provision for a name label or service number inside. This type of jacket formed part of the standard service dress for Canadian air force officers and would have been worn both in formal and operational environments throughout the 1939–1945 period. Condition and insignia details should be closely examined for authentication.
