A little piece of American military history, given a second life!
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 wonderful is the original double-outlined U.S. insignia, carefully preserved and positioned on the back of the coat! This classic military marking was used across several decades, with this blanket estimated to date to the 1960s. The beautifully faded lettering and olive-green wool offer a little glimpse into the textile's military past.
Designed with an oversized collar, hand-cut neck ties, roomy patch pockets, exposed blue stitching, and a relaxed silhouette. The beautifully muted olive wool, original markings, and timeless design make this a truly special wearable heirloom.
