Unusual WWII US Army Coat info request
Hope someone can assist me in identifying this US coat as I can find no reference or photos of it. Looks like a M1941 field jacket in material, full wool lining, zipper and light brown buttons but is longer. Has waist adjusting belt attached but there is only a size label showing 38L. Any advice or comments are appreciated!
Gee that's funny, nobody knows?
Ahh it's the Jacket, Field, OD, Arctic, blanket lined lengthened M41 style - wish I had one but I do have a couple of pairs of kersey lined trousers that go with this jacket. Trousers look identical to the summer set on the out side. Jacket was replaced by the M43.
Here's a link with some in wear

Nice ID Rene'
Hopefully you get the Thank You that is deserved
To the OP, nice jacket in excellent shape.

Hi Rene', thanks for the information on this jacket and the construction of it as well as the photo. Had me stumped as there was no tag other than size. Interesting that the GIs wearing web gear make it look short, but the one without gear gives it the length. Regards,
Bruce
Not a problem Bruce
