Default Unknown WWII Jacket
Hey guys,
I picked this up at auction almost a year ago. My initial research turned up no solid answers. I just realized I had never posted it here to see if anyone could help.
It is cut like a BD, but made out of the same material as the jeep coats. It was made in Montreal dated 1943 and has a C broadarrow on the waist band.
Anyone know what it is?

I'll look up some pictures but it could be a cold weather jacket used out west.
