three models manufactured. The one displayed here is the third and last version.

The other ones did. Also, in the third version the collar has notched lapels while the other ones did not.

The lower portion of the inside of the coat was lined with a thin layer of wool.
Like many other US uniforms in WWII. A tag was placed inside one of the pockets.
This tag contains a wealth of information for the collector. Data such as the
date of manufacturing, Material, color, contract number, manufacturer's name, etc
are found there.
Normal wear of the coat often times causes the tag to come off or become illegible.
