WW2 jacket ?

[dr greg]

Found this recently...light fabric, brown military buttons, very Jungle Jim, someone said it was 'tropical issue' but I've only ever seen jungle green stuff for Australian troops of that vintage...could it be US?

British tropical shirts/jackets were green too. Is it a female jacket as the buttons appear on the other side in the photo?

blokes

Def on the right side as for males

 

[Seb Lucas]

Apart from that person's comment what makes you think it is military?

 

[dr greg]

a look

the belt lugs, the buttons, epaulettes, and the general style, plus the name written on the label has numbers as well...something not common in civvy wear

Can I see the label? Is it a cellular weave?
Looks like a British KD shirt to me. WPG does a copy.

I'm with Kitty on this.

the drill

Not sure what you mean by cellular, but the weave seems more 'open' than a normal army shirt...and the label's faded beyond legibility
