A little piece of American military history, with a name and a story all its own!
Made entirely from a vintage olive-green U.S. military wool blanket, originally designed for warmth, durability, and years of use. The thick, beautifully aged wool has that wonderful substantial weight that makes these old blankets so special, now transformed into a one-of-a-kind coat meant to last another lifetime.
What makes this piece especially extraordinary is the original JEFF MACINTIRE name tape, carefully preserved on the front of the coat! Further research revealed a Captain Jeff Macintire serving as the base veterinarian at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in March 1985. While the blanket's original ownership cannot be confirmed, the matching name offers a wonderful possible connection to its military past. A faint US ink marking also survives on the wool.
Designed with an oversized collar, hand-cut neck ties, roomy patch pockets, exposed stitching, and a relaxed silhouette. The beautifully muted olive wool, original markings, and personal history make this a truly special wearable heirloom.
