WW2 US Army Officer’s Dismounted Mackinaw Jacket – Doe Skin Wool – Approx. Size 36

This is an original World War II US Army officer’s double-breasted dismounted mackinaw jacket, constructed of heavy doe skin wool and lined in satin. Designed for cold weather wear, this style of overcoat was issued to officers in theaters such as the Ardennes, Italy, and Northwest Europe—particularly useful during winter campaigns when mobility and warmth were critical.

This example features a distinctive shawl collar, reinforced button closure, and large wrap-style front with belted back design, consistent with officer-grade outerwear produced during the war. The tailored cut and luxurious satin lining reflect the higher standard of issue typically afforded to commissioned officers. The pit-to-pit measurement is approximately 18.25 inches, suggesting a fitted size around 36.

The mackinaw was a favored cold-weather garment due to its balance between warmth and range of movement, issued to both infantry and support officers serving dismounted (on foot) in winter operations. Though not as common as the enlisted "jeep coat," these officer variants saw extensive use during the Battle of the Bulge and other cold-weather campaigns, especially in frontline headquarters units.

This jacket remains in solid condition with signs of service wear, including soiling and stains, primarily along the hem and cuffs. The lining is intact but shows heavy field wear and discoloration consistent with age and operational use. A rugged and highly collectible piece of officer field gear from one of the most demanding periods of the war.
