Catalog ID HCM5924
Year circa 1941-1945
Description A four-button khaki jacket for a four or five year-old, with four patch pockets with false-flaps (the pockets are accessed above the flaps). The epaulets are reversed, with the buttons at the shoulders, not the neck. Buttons are U.S. Navy-style, two-piece, in a gilt finish, except for the three down the front, which have a silver-colored wash.

Above the left breast pocket is a stylized embroidered pilot's wings. On that pocket is a red/white/blue ribbon bow, with a two-blue-star child-in-service flag hanging below, in a metal frame. On the right breast pocket is a blue plastic pin consisting of an airplane, and a flag with "Remember | Pearl Harbor", connected by a chain.

There is a green-on-wool embroidered private's chevron on each sleeve. On the left sleeve is a 78th Infantry Division SSI, a red half-circle with a white lightning-bolt, with a green border.

A red-on-black woven label in the inside of the collar states, " Jackie Jumper | REGISTERED | LEE-WALD GARMENT CO.".
