The American M1942 Jump jacket, this is the standard version of the "Coat, Parachute Jumper, Model M1942".
This is the M42 Jump jacket as it was issued so it does not have the reinforcements that the Airborne added just before the Normandy invasion.
This Unreinforced jacket is the style worn by the 82nd Airborne Division when they landed in Sicily and by all Airborne troops including the 101st Airborne Division while training in the UK.
This American WW2 M1942 jump jacket is made by Kay Canvas Manufacturing and is one of the most accurate M42 jump jackets available.
The “Kay Canvas” M42 jump uniform has been researched with help from various people including the "Screaming Eagles" re-enactment group.
This is more accurate than our other M42 jump jackets as it is made from a heaver cotton fabric and has the correct style of press studs (only the outer part of the stud is black the rest is nickel).
Improved features as the originals include:
- Nickel press studs with a black front.
- Talon branded chrome zip.
- Sleeve length is 55cm even on the larger sizes.
- Chest sizes are correct sizing just order your normal size
