The Legacy of the M1941 Field Jacket

Introduced in 1941, the M1941 Field Jacket quickly became an iconic part of the US Army uniform. Designed to replace the outdated wool service coats, this jacket was a response to the need for more practical and versatile field wear. Major General James K. Parsons played a crucial role in its development, recommending features that would serve soldiers in various combat conditions.

From the shores of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 to the beaches of Normandy in June 1944, the M1941 Field Jacket was a constant companion to American soldiers. Its versatility made it suitable for a range of climates and situations, earning it a place in military history and the hearts of those who wore it.
