Bronson OUTERWEAR US Army M-42 Airborne Paratrooper Field Jacket

The M-42 field jacket color was Olive Drab #3. The coat consisted of four front patch pockets with two button snaps on each, along with a unique dual-zippered knife pocket located on the upper lapel which was designed to contain a switchblade pocketknife.

The M-42 field jacket was mostly worn by Paratroops assigned to Airborne units. The M-42 field jacket was eventually phased out in favor of the new M-1943 Uniform which was a darker green(OD7). Despite this, various individuals chose to keep their M-42 field jackets in order to show their veteran status.
