Typically of a higher quality, these coats were made to set specifications laid out by the Army; in this case, the M1926 Officer's Short Overcoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Mackinaw-style coat with a generous shawl collar, these coats were used by officers throughout WWII; however, the Civilian Conservation Corps adopted this same coat as a stopgap in the mid 1930s. Typical private purchase coats include a liner, high-quality wool, and civilian tags such as those for sale here. CCC contract coats typically lack a liner and have QM tags that refer to the jackets as \"tent. spec.\" These CCC specific coats were only used for a brief time as the Corps designed its own purpose-built replacement shortly thereafter. CCC coats can be distinguished by their lower-quality wool, lack of lining, and the aforementioned tag. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy purchasing one of these coats, you're getting a unique piece of American history. Expect all coats listed here to be of officer\/private purchase spec. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Short \u0026amp; Sweet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic USGI \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher-quality wool than M1938 equivalent \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge shawl collar \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-breasted front \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Officer buttons\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":48762620313841,"sku":"48762620313841","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":48762620346609,"sku":"48762620346609","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":48762620379377,"sku":"48762620379377","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Extra Large","offer_id":48762620412145,"sku":"48762620412145","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":48762620444913,"sku":"48762620444913","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/M1926WoolCoat1.jpg?v=1789587785","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/issued-usgi-m1926-wool-coat","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
