The M-69 Air Transport Coat

The M-69 Air Transport Coat.

Worn in WWII by officers and crewmen on aircraft carriers from the North Pacific to the Atlantic.

On long haul runs and long-range sub-hunting missions.

The stakes, never higher. The weather could be relentlessly unforgiving.

Expeditionary outfitting, absolutely essential.

The M-69 Air Transport Coat (No. J7055). Distressed, below-knee length leather coat made of premium Italian heavyweight goatskin. Takes its cue from the coats issued to WWII U.S. Navy officers. Moulton shearling collar. Trench latch at neck. Storm flap ("gun flap") keeps water out (and you dry). Leather waist belt. Bemberg-lined top block. Sherpa-lined bottom block. Two large front welt pockets. One interior welt pocket. Locker loop at center back neck. Genuine horn buttons. Cuffs and hem reinforced with trapunto stitching. Made in Italy.
