The Original French Army Ike Jacket is a genuine military surplus waist-length dress blouson in grey. Military History and Purpose Issued as part of the French military dress uniform, this grey waist-length jacket follows the classic Eisenhower design. Originally styled for service personnel during formal duties, it features shoulder epaulettes for rank insignia and clean front pleats. Most surplus examples arrive in clean Supergrade or Grade 1 condition, retaining their original structure and sharp tailoring. Tailored Construction and Specs Built from lightweight polycotton twill fabric, this unlined jacket is breathable and easy to layer. It uses a concealed button fly to keep the front clean and prevent snagging. For practical daily wear, you get two side hip pockets tucked neatly into the seams along with a secure internal chest pocket for small essentials. Practical Everyday Utility The cropped length pairs easily with high-waisted trousers or casual workwear, while the elasticated waistband ensures a comfortable fit around the hips. Button-adjustable cuffs allow you to roll up the sleeves or secure them against wind. It works well as a lightweight smart-casual layer for daily wear, historical displays, or bushcraft outings.
