Blue Topcoat

Description

This topcoat made by A. Jacobs & Sons is an Air Force blue version of the Army Air Force’s trench coat worn in WWII. The coat is made of grayish blue wool and has round blue buttons instead of the silver buttons seen on the overcoat. The topcoat could be worn with the winter or summer uniforms.
