M-1951 field jacket

The M-1951 field jacket was a U.S. Army four pocket jacket made of 9-ounce wind resistant, water repellent treated cotton sateen cloth in Olive Green Shade 107 (OG 107).

Earlier issue M-1951s had larger, brown buttons like on the M-1943, and later jackets had smaller brown, then green buttons as used on the M-1965 field jacket and later OG-107 fatigues.

In addition; it also added buttons for an internal wool-pile liner, a feature introduced in the largely forgotten M-1950 jacket, which itself was similar to the m-1943 with the exception mentioned prior and a change in sizing; although those liners are incompatible due to different sizing and button patterns.

M-1951 field trousers were made of the same material and were also in the OG 107 color.

Like the jacket, it had a separate cold weather wool pile liner that could be buttoned in.
