Eisenhower Jacket - Field Jacket, O.D. ("Parson's Jacket")

Field Jacket, O.D. ("Parson's Jacket")

Although the Field Jacket, O.D. (more widely known as the "Parson's Jacket" or the modern term "M41 Jacket") was widely used in many theaters during World War II, it was found to be an unsatisfactory solution for the soldiers using it. The War Department created a new field jacket based on the layering principle to give greater flexibility for the numerous environmental conditions encountered in the world-wide war. .
