Description
This jacket, which hardly looks like a military jacket at first glance, was issued in 1935 to the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC was operated by unemployed men up to age 25 during the Great Depression, providing vocational training through camp programs. They engaged in public works such as road building, small dam construction for soil conservation, forest logging, planting, and national park maintenance. The jacket’s button-front design resembles the leather A-1 or the Army’s olive wool jackets, featuring a classic look. Due to its extremely limited production numbers, encountering an original is almost miraculous. The label marked “Quartermaster Depot” is unmistakable proof of its military origin.
