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 near the lower back of the coat! The bold, black lettering stands out beautifully against the deep olive wool. This classic military marking was used across several decades, with this blanket estimated to date to the 1960s. Its original ink stamp and wonderfully worn texture preserve a little piece of American military textile history.
Designed with an oversized collar, hand-cut neck ties, roomy patch pockets, exposed stitching, and a relaxed silhouette. The rich olive wool, original markings, and beautifully simple construction make this a truly special wearable heirloom.
