Blog: Historical info available for educational purposes.What is the specific imperfection in this M1938 Mackinaw?
The reproduction M1938 Mackinaw has a slight imperfection in the wool collar lining. The lining is slightly too small and does not extend to the top buttonholes. This is the reason for the reduced price of these specific jackets.
Is the Mackinaw warm enough for winter wear?
The Mackinaw is suitable for cool to cold weather, with a thin layer of wool on the inside. While the lining is thinner than some other reproduction jackets, it is surprisingly warm. It functions as a great winter jacket.
What is the recommended way to achieve a more relaxed fit?
The jacket can be stiff and tight out of the package. To achieve a more relaxed fit, it is recommended to give it a good cool water soak. After soaking, let it drip dry and wear it before it is completely dry.
Can this Mackinaw be worn for civilian use?
The Mackinaw is suitable for civilian wear and does not look overly military. It pairs well with jeans and is comfortable for everyday use. Its design makes it a versatile fall and winter coat.
What kind of layers can be comfortably worn underneath the jacket?
A heavy shirt can be worn comfortably underneath the jacket. If wearing a vest or a bulky sweater, it is advisable to size up. The fit is close, so layering options depend on the size chosen.
How does the wool lining compare to other reproduction jackets?
The wool lining in this Mackinaw is thinner than that found in some other reproduction jackets, such as a WPG tanker jacket. Despite being thin, it still provides good warmth. The lining's size is the source of the "irregular" designation.
