Civil Defense jacket

[Neil Hever]

I was given this Civil Defense uniform jacket a few years back. I cannot find anything matching on the internet. Can anyone provide more information or direct me to a source? Thanks for looking. Neil

I can only tell you that the ribbons are for 500, 1000 and 2000 hours of service.

Thanks - that is at least a start. Odd how there is really nothing out there on this particular jacket. NH

Nice jacket these were usually pretty bland, occasionally you might see them with a specific town Civil Defense patch. The ribbon bars are a nice touch

Thanks for the input. I still have found no evidence of this style of jacket anywhere. I Put the word out to a US Civil Defense collector on his Facebook page. I'm guessing these could be ordered from a catalog. The orange and purple color combo is interesting. NH

Never seen one but I think it is a cool and timeless looking jacket. Nice pick up.

Nice looking jacket ! it would look great on display with one of these helmets that are relatively inexpensive.

Already got one of those helmets! NH
