http://www.ebay.com/itm/281072588867

This vintage army officer’s shawl collar mackinaw was issued in 1942. It was made by the ambiguous “Mfr. 478″ and issued by the Philadelphia quartermaster’s depot. If features a pointed end belt, a plain liner, and no sleeve adjuster tabs. The belt loops are positioned on the front of the coat, whereas on the other examples I am currently selling they are positioned further back.

Chest (pit to pit): 21-1/2″
Shoulder to Shoulder: 18″
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 26-1/2″
Length (top of collar to hem): 38”
