N.O.S. WWII M-1941 FIELD JACKET W-669-QM-29626

Their M41 is too long

Disagree. I trust Rollin's attention to detail from his personal collection.

Maybe you saw the Arctic version they made a few years back? It's definitely longer than the usual M-41.

... but it is what we all know it as today.

Right. So why do we have to get pedantic when there's no real answer?

Everything I've ever read reports G.I.s just calling it their combat jacket.

Just a side question … is WWII Impressions still in business ? When I used to go to their website …. Everything was always sold out . Eventually I got tired of them not having anything and just sort of assumed that they either had gone under or were in a slow death roll over. The owner used to be a member here and we’d hear from him occasionally or whenever he had some new products to market , but he hasn’t been here in the last couple of years I think . So does anyone know their status ?

Their Facebook page hasn't been updated in just over a year.

Back then when I ordered my jacket there were already problems at WW2impressions,
They always did a small production run, and when the items were out of stock it took months to be restocked.
Seems they are not very profit oriented .

Thanks for your responses guys .

I can't imagine how difficult is for these guys to source the right fabrics, materials and hardware to make accurate reproductions in the US. From ATF losing their boot maker to WWII Imp not able to source correct HBT cloth for their USMC and USN uniforms it must be very challenging. Juan has always made great stuff so I wish him the best.
