Built for Comfort & Practicality
More than just a historical artifact, this American Tanker Jacket is designed for real-world comfort and warmth. Crafted with a durable cotton outer shell, it offers robust wear and a classic military aesthetic that stands the test of time. Inside, a plush wool-mix blanket lining provides exceptional insulation, making it wonderfully warm and truly ideal for those colder months – whether you're out on manoeuvres or just popping to the shops. The thoughtful design includes a full zip-up front for easy wear, complemented by elasticated rib-knit collar, hips, and cuffs. These elements ensure a snug fit that effectively seals in warmth and keeps the chill out, while practical side slash pockets offer convenient storage or a place to warm your hands.
Your Jacket, Your History
Each of our WW2 US Tanker Jackets comes with an authentic Armoured Division patch already stitched on, providing an immediate touch of historical authenticity. You'll receive either the 5th or 6th Armoured Division badge, both iconic symbols of courage and determination. For those seeking complete historical accuracy for a specific impression or a cleaner, personalised look, the stitched patch can be easily removed, offering you the ultimate in customisation. This versatility ensures your jacket perfectly fits your individual needs, whether for a detailed reenactment, a unique piece of vintage-inspired fashion, or simply a tribute to the brave men who wore it.
Important Notes
Please note that the specific Armoured Division patch (either 5th or 6th) you receive will be selected randomly, reflecting the varied insignia seen during the war. Both authentic patch designs are visible in the product images for your reference.
Care Instructions
To ensure your American Tanker Jacket remains in peak condition, especially its wool-mix lining, we recommend dry cleaning for best results. If hand washing, use cold water and a wool-specific detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing. Do not tumble dry; instead, reshape the jacket and lay it flat or hang it on a sturdy hanger to air dry away from direct heat. Proper care will help preserve its warmth, shape, and iconic look for years to come.
