29thinfgeek Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Found a nice M41, it's in pretty good condition. There is a name in the collar, but it is too faded to make out, which is a shame. Insignia is in good condition, there's a little stain on the white part of the 69th SSI. Thought I would share it, I thought it was pretty neat since most 69th jackets you see are M43's.

Sabrejet Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Very nice! I have a soft spot for '41s! "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.

capa Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Great jacket-I too have a soft spot for them. I only have one, unpatched, but the jacket is an icon of WWII. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/usmfribbons/donation2020.gif Link to post Share on other sites
Captainofthe7th Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Very nice example, like the rest of us this is one of my favorite jackets. I like the early chevrons, don't see those too much on wartime uniforms. Rob Exhausting & Dirty Work Interested in buying identified or re-searchable Korean War uniforms, groupings, medals and more.

Terry K. Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Very nice! I like the 41's also, just never kept them but one. You are his witness now, without a witness, they just disappear! Quote from the movie TAKING CHANCE 2009 Link to post Share on other sites
29thinfgeek Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks for the compliments! They certainly are great looking jackets, this will not be my last one Frederik Link to post Share on other sites
Sabrejet Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I have a penchant for '41s too. I've got a perfect replica which I wear as a leisure jacket...classic styling!

29thinfgeek Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I still see a lot of jackets being worn nowadays that are similar to WW2 designs, in fact I found one of my dads jackets in the attic the other day, which looked exactly like a tanker jacket.
