Offered here is a post-World War II American Ike-style jacket, likely used by a police officer, prison guard, or other uniformed public servant during the late 1940s to 1950s. Manufactured by Fechheimer of Cincinnati—a long-standing producer of police and military uniforms—the jacket closely follows the WWII US Army M1944 “Ike” field jacket design, which was widely adopted by civilian agencies in the immediate postwar years.

This example is constructed of dark olive wool with a green satin lining and features four bronze Great Seal buttons, two flapped breast pockets, epaulets, and internal adjustment tabs at the waist. The presence of reinforced badge eyelets above the left pocket indicates that it was worn with an identifying badge affixed. The manufacturer’s label is still present and readable.

With its classic cropped silhouette and quality tailoring, this size 44R jacket offers both historical significance and collectible appeal. These garments were commonly worn by veterans transitioning into public service roles or by career law enforcement personnel during the postwar years as surplus military styles were standardized in domestic agencies.

This piece shows moderate wear but remains in solid condition with no major flaws, damage, or repairs. A compelling and authentic uniform element from America’s postwar public safety history.
