P-44 UTILITY COAT

DESCRIPTION
  • The P-44 UTILITY COAT is a reproduction of the P-1944 Marine Corps Utility Jacket.
  • Rarely found in circulation due to being adopted near the end of the Pacific War, the P-44 followed up the ubiquitous P-1941 coat, both designs being used in combat and workwear.
  • These fatigue-duty jackets were worn over a standard military uniform to protect against general wear and tear.
  • In contrast to the simple in design P-1941, the P-44 features a complex construction, resulting in a functionally improved article of clothing suitable for all climates.
  • The P-44 is constructed in a lightweight 100% cotton olive drab herringbone twill (darker in hue than the P-1941), all cotton stitching, bartack reinforcements, overlock-stitched seams, gas flaps, a single flap chest pocket, dual roomy hidden pockets at the chest intended for floatation devices or miscellaneous storage, button-adjusting cuffs, and riveted metal buttons at the collar to attach a chemical-deflecting hood.
  • This model features ‘Economy Riveted Buttons’, a rare detail of civilian hardware that was likely used by contractors to finish a run on P44s when the USMC branded buttons were not available.
  • Developed by The Real McCoy’s; the fine lines, thinness of the button top and stem curves are a testament to the craftsmanship of this bespoke hardware.
  • HBT Fabric Before the outbreak of WWII, soldiers in the US Army were issued a blue denim jumper, trousers, and hat for fatigue duties, while they used the cotton khaki shirt and trousers as their summer uniform.
  • However, by the late 1930s, the Army realized that a more practical uniform in a better color was needed.
  • In 1941, a green uniform made from cotton herringbone twill (HBT) fabric was introduced to replace both the denim and khaki cotton uniforms for work and field operations.
  • Shirts, trousers, coveralls, and caps were produced and issued to all Army personnel in all theaters of operations.
  • Eventually, it became one of the most commonly worn garments during WWII and was co-opted by the USMC as seen here with the P-44 Utility Coat.
  • Cotton Herringbone Twill
  • Black Oxide Treated Buttons
  • Cotton Sewing Thread Construction
