Need Help Dating This Military Coat

[elvenom]

Acquired this really good looking coat. Its very heavy! There are no tags inside, but one that says REGULAR/SMALL. The lining is not removable. I would so keep it if it fit (its too big). I love the back of the coat!

are there any markings at all? Usually regulation US Army uniforms have code and description somewhere.

You will probably find some faint printed writing on the liner somewhere.It looks to be Korean war era US army.

Also look inside the pockets - military items are dated 90% of the time ;)

That is extremely fabulous. Look in the pockets. I know I had some navy issue things where thequartermaster label was front and center - inside the jacket maybe a few inches down from the pocket or so too. Also maybe numbers are stamped somewhere.

Yes! I found a label in the pocket of the inner lining! It says "Jules Segal & Company". It says "Pattern date November 24, 1950, Dated 21 March 1951" yay! Thank you!
