US Army Model LG-70 Buoyant Vest (Kapok-Filled) – 1950s

This is a US Army Buoyant Vest, Model LG-70, Stearns Model AK, manufactured in the 1950s by Stearns Manufacturing Co., St. Cloud, Minnesota. Designed for use on motorboats (Classes A, 1, or 2), this vest was U.S. Coast Guard approved under Approval No. 160.047/18/0. The label indicates it is filled with kapok, a buoyant natural fiber, sealed in plastic film pad covers to maintain flotation.

The vest is stenciled with “ARMY” on the back, confirming its military issue. These vests were commonly issued during the 1950s for training and utility purposes in non-combat environments. Its simple design features adjustable straps and ties for a secure fit, with wear typical of its age, including minor staining.

This piece would make an excellent addition to a collection of mid-century military flotation devices or as part of a U.S. Army watercraft display.
