WW2 US Mackinaw Coat OD Size 46 Regular

The WW2 US Mackinaw Coat OD Size 46 Regular is an original military overcoat issued to United States Army personnel during the Second World War. Commonly referred to as the “jeep coat,” the Mackinaw features an olive drab (OD) wool blend construction with a double-breasted front and a belted waist, designed to provide warmth and protection in cold weather conditions. The coat includes notched lapels, two large front pockets, and a buttoned closure. This particular example is sized as 46 Regular, corresponding to a larger chest measurement suited for overgarment wear. The Mackinaw coat was widely used by officers and vehicle crews from 1941 onwards, notably favored for its durability and practicality in field operations. Its straightforward design and robust materials reflect utilitarian wartime requirements. Items such as this represent standard-issue American military outerwear and are of interest for historical study and reference to World War II uniform standards.
