Stunning WW2 Canadian Army Mustard Canvas Mackinaw Motorcycle Coat.
Stunning WW2 Canadian Army Mustard Canvas Mackinaw Motorcycle Coat.
This is an absolutely incredible coat. One of our favorite designs of all time and is largely responsible for getting us interested in this sort of vintage clothing. The WW2 Canadian Army Arctic Motorcycle Dispatch Mackinaw. NOT to be confused with the much more (relatively) common 1950’s counterpart featuring a much lower quality gray wool lining.
This exceedingly rare WW2 example is recognizable by it’s stunning, pristine, soft, warm white wool lining (and 1943 stamp!)
Made to keep both sedentary/ stationary and seated/ driving soldiers warm in Arctic conditions, there are so many details it is hard to list them all. Heavy duty Yellow/ Khaki canvas outer, with thick soft/ warm wool fleece lining that ever goes all the way down the sleeves.
All buttons, belt, and original WOODS manufacturing/ date stamp are perfectly intact. This thing will last you a lifetime, and is the most stylish/ badass winter coat ever made. The quality of the construction and the materials used is astounding.
Stamped size 44 (Could fit size M to L)
pit to pit 24”
shoulder to shoulder 21”
shoulder to cuff 25”
shoulder to bottom 42”
