U.S. Service Coats: The Service Coat was introduced in the 1920's to replace the W.W.I pattern tunics with the standing collars. It was used as a field uniform until 1941 when the M1941 Field Jacket took its place. From then until the end of the War, the Service Coat was used for garrison duty and a dress uniform. There were several pattern changes made between 1939 and 1942. Our jackets are the 1941 pattern which had a bi-swing back, but lacked the brass belt hooks of the earlier designs. (Original Service Coats are now on the Original US Uniforms page.) Exclusively an ATF product: These jackets were made specifically for us. They are not available nor related to any other repro Ike jackets sold by any other vendor. Any problems, flaws or idiosyncrasies associated with jackets sold elsewhere have no bearing on our uniforms. Pattern: As with the Ike Jackets, I spent literally days and days tweaking the patterns for the Service Coats. An original 44R was used as a base pattern, not a 36S. I have almost every size of original Service Coat up 50L. The manufacturer was provided with original coats in sizes 40R, 44R and 48R so they would be able to grade these correctly. We should have no problems with customers needing to compensate for skewed patterns, pockets in the armpits or tiny shoulders. Compared to other reproductions, these FIT. We have no plans to make "Longs" due to very tepid interest. Sizing: Order your normal coat size. These are roomy enough to wear a tank top and wool shirt underneath. Taper and the All-American Physique: I have also posted the waist sizes. If you have a prominent beer gut or are in your third trimester, you may need to "upsize" to cover your parts. These are not the most flattering jackets if you have a beach ball under your shirt. This is exactly like originals! Wear: Officially, a wool (flannel) shirt and necktie was to be worn underneath, but many troops chose to wear the more comfortable khaki cotton shirt instead. Content: 100% wool shell, 100% cotton twill lining. No fabric samples: We do not manufacture these. They are imported. Thus, we have no scraps to send you. These are definitely the correct shade and cloth. I promise... Almost forgot... DRY CLEAN ONLY!

US Buttons: The one thing I'm not fond of on these are the reproduction buttons. They are so-so. We now have genuine Waterbury buttons- a mix of unissued originals and new manufacture. Yes, Waterbury is still in business and they still had the dies for the WWII pattern buttons. Replacement sets for service coats: $15.00 (4 large and 6 small buttons.) They need to be hand sewn so we do not offer installation.
