J000594 (IJA) WINTER PARKA.
A full-length, double-breasted, khaki-colored waterproofed cotton extreme cold weather coat with removable sleeves. Three large bakelite buttons are vertically arranged to either side of its front closure (one is missing). Corresponding buttonholes are along the forward edges of each panel, and a diagonally-angled buttonhole may be seen to each of their base edges. A hook and eye closure is to the neck, with a bakelite button and buttonholed flap to either side of it. To the left forward underside of the lay down collar is a dual buttonholed hexagonal tab which, with its rearmost bakelite button unbuttoned and with the collar upturned, would be free to swivel forward and mate with a corresponding bakelite button to the right forward underside of the collar. Short loops, in the same material as the coat, are sewn to each shoulder. Diagonally angled slash pockets are to each hip, each with a vertical slash immediately behind them which allows access to the interior. A vent that extends upwards from the base of the reverse, whose French fly closure is fastened by two small bakelite buttons. Each buttonholed sleeve of the coat is attached near the shoulder by seven small bakelite buttons otherwise hidden under a short flap. One sleeve has a button missing. Both sleeves are lined with rabbit fur, which is exposed by the up-turning of the cuffs. The inside of the collar is also lined with rabbit fur, and the bottom third of the coat interior. The remainder of the interior has a quilted lining. Liner is well marked with issue stamping. Light age and usage soiling is evident throughout. All of the fur looks to be in good condition, but the lining of the right wearing cuff has pulled away from the stitching. . Approximate size 40" chest.
