US Army WWII 2nd Pattern Mackinaw coat; size and similar items

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Welcome to my listings on Bonanza! I’m yet another refugee from the other site, you know, the one I can’t mention by name because I’m too afraid of getting a “cease and desist” letter from their legal department. Yes, THAT website. I do NOT make obscene profit on shipping handling. If I overcharge it is only for the sake of convenience in listing; you only pay the actual shipping and any balance is refunded to you. That said, I’ve been selling a long time and I pride myself on being the most honest seller on the web. I bend over backwards to provide excellent photos, short but concise descriptions and measurements when there is no manufacturer’s size/spec tag. Having said that, I will not provide additional measurements or photos because in my many years of selling I learned that people almost never purchase the item! Sorry, but I have to do what is in my best interest and that means saving time, MY time. If there is a maker’s flaw, rip, tear, stain, bald spot or otherwise damage worth showing, then I’ll show it in the photos and/or mention it in the Item Title or Item Description. Cat fur included at no extra charge. That means that I have two cats in my house and I let them sleep on any damned thing that they want to, including my merchandise even as I photograph it for listing. I do not smoke and neither do my cats. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** WOW! Have you ever seen a Mackinaw in such amazing shape??? This thing was worn for maybe a week or two, in the rear area, and a week before VE-Day, too!! No fraying at all, ANYWHERE! All of the rare, "chocolate" buttons present!! Spec tag is intact, legible and not even worn, ripped, sweat-stained, etc.!!! Very slight sweat stains in the collar. Collar "hanging loop" is missing. For all you reenactors out there: this is the SECOND pattern. Measurements AS LAID FLAT: Chest: 21 inches armpit to armpit Sleeve: 34 inches from the neck Height: 33 inches Price includes domestic shipping. KEEP IN MIND: These are EXTERNAL measurements!!! This is a thick and bulky garment. It is a size 38. If you are a size 40 chest with a beer belly, DO NOT PURCHASE this item for yourself. I do NOT take returns, especially when it is your own dumba$$ fault!!!
