Extremely rare 1930s U.S. military "transport" coat worn by U.S.N/U.S.C.G. officers and NCOs in pre-WWII service. This historic coat was built to not only weather the harshest conditions but also the test of time...a must-have for any serious collector. See Buzz Rickson's limited run stitch by stitch replica here.

• double breasted front closure with horsehide buttonhole tabs on either side (allowing for right or left crossover fastening)

LABEL READS

No label. Manufacturer unknown. Faded stamp on the inside of the left front hemline reads "46"

CONDITION

Mindfully selected for heritage & character. Honest wear, but surprisingly in tact considering garment's age. Some minor staining on moleskin shell. Notable crude sheepskin patch/repair on interior lining (as pictured) and a small tear in lining near right armpit. Horsehide buttonhole tabs on left side are a bit faded/worn and the bottom tab has been stitched together, but right side tabs are in excellent shape. No other perceivable issues. Perfectly serviceable as is.
