I like Ike
(2008-10-22)
There are only a handful of Ike jacket replicas available. This is a fine replica, excellent weight and color elastique and tailoring. Caution, however that the sleeves run short.
Great Look

I''m not a reenactor. Love the look of my Officer''s Ike jacket with my wool kilts. Great quality. Added insignia to honor my father''s service.
What a beautiful jacket!

I wanted a Class A Officer Ike Jacket and when this one came available, it fit the bill. I do not usually wear class As unless I am going to a swing dance, or an event that calls for it, but hey! In this beauty you will look and feel like Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart or even Tyrone Power! Dead accurate, beautiful shade, it''s the cat''s meow!
I don''t often wear Class A''s when I reenact, I normally wear a flight suit, but when the time came that I needed a dress uniform, I wanted an Ike jacket. Several manufaturers make them, and most are quite nice, but this one captures the look of a 1943 or early 1944 private purchase jacket BEAUTIFULLY. The lining matches those I''ve been able to examine in museums, or have seen in surplus shops. The fit is quite good, and although a little tailoring wouldn''t harm it (most officers'' uniforms were tailored), it really doesn''t need it. The color is a good shade of OD 51, and the gorge at the neck is small enough to cover how short the ties were in those days. All told, this item is a good reproduction, and the price was definitely right. I''m glad I bought mine.
