Description:

Item: WWII U.S. Army Air Forces “Ike” jacket in olive drab with service-era shoulder patch, sergeant chevrons to sleeve, dual chest pockets, epaulettes, side waist tabs, and internal label present. Notable moth hole at lower back hem.

Era: 1940s

Brand: U.S. Military

Condition: Fair–Good; structurally sound overall but with a large moth hole at back hem; light age-related wear.

Provenance Note: A classic Second World War “Ike” jacket, used by U.S. forces and prized for its short, practical cut. Original AAF insignia and rank chevrons offer strong authenticity and visual interest.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
