This handsome wool gabardine jacket is a modified Eisenhower
style, coined after General Ike during WWII, which was based on the
earlier Battle Dress coats. This jacket, in a light brown (a little less
red than our photos are showing) wool gabardine is a little longer than
the typical waist-length Eisenhower, falling to the hip. Welted
pockets at the hip and breast (the latter having a zipper closure), with
buttoned cuff tabs on the sleeve, and another pair at the waist
band.Lightly padded at the shoulder. Chest measures 46", waist 42",
shoulder, 19", sleeve 25", length Bearing a label from Parkers in Reno,
NV, it is fully lined. Okay, here are the flaws: there is tiny snag
(actually a broken thread in the weave) on the left sleeve; a couple of
very faint spots just above the waist band on the right, adjacent to the
third button from the bottom, and the lining has a repair at the collar
and hem, still and all a great jacket in pretty darned good condition. $275
