1941 Tanker Jacket Khaki Pike Brothers: the American officer's jacket revisited
The US Combat Winter 1941 jacket officially entered service with the American armed forces in 1941 as part of a winter gear kit (padded helmet, overalls, jacket). Its versatility and flattering cut quickly won over all branches of the armed forces, starting with officers who adopted it for its superior comfort compared to other military jackets. This Pike Brothers reissue is inspired by a period officer's tailored suit, enhanced with a thick wool lining and no bi-swing back for a cleaner silhouette. A timeless winter jacket, warm and built to last.
330g cotton and 440g wool blanket lining
The 330 g/m² cotton canvas provides the durability and structure typical of authentic military garments. The 440 g/m² blanket wool lining transforms this Tanker jacket into a true weapon against the cold: constant warmth, breathability, and softness. The tubular knit cuffs block drafts without being too tight, true to the original specifications.
Vintage-style zippered heel and functional pockets
The original 1940s Talon zip , with its left-hand opening, instantly lends the authenticity of a genuine vintage jacket. Two flap chest pockets accommodate a notebook, phone, or accessories; an interior pocket secures valuables. The backless, bi-swing cut sculpts the silhouette into a straighter, more urban line.
An easy-to-wear officer's jacket
This men's military jacket pairs equally well with raw denim, selvedge chinos, or work trousers. It naturally complements leather work boots and heritage sweaters. Its cut allows for layering over a sweatshirt or wool cardigan.
