Old US Army M43 Field Jacket w/ Hood VTG 40s

Selling an old US M-1943 Field Jacket with the rank of 1st sergeant emblazoned on both shoulders. The US Army's model M-43 Field Jacket was a combat uniform manufactured in windproof cotton sateen cloth introduced in 1943 to replace a variety of other specialist uniforms and some inadequate garments, like the M1941 Field Jacket. It was used through the remainder of World War II and into the Korean War with modifications before being replaced by the OG-107 uniform beginning in 1952. The uniform was tested in Italy in 1943 by the 45th Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division but some GIs (including Bill Mauldin) claim that non-combatant officers and enlisted personnel would use their position in the rear to get the new uniform, delaying the ultimate field testing in Italy for some time longer. This, along with shipping delays after D-Day kept this uniform from widespread use in Europe until late 1944. After D-Day, Paratroopers were issued complete M-1943 uniforms, and infantry units began getting the uniform parts here and there. The jacket is overall good used condition. I have only found a small hole (see pic). But I'd say it can easily take another almost 80 years without breaking out. Does it comes with hood. All buttons are present and original. It has a solid color and a nice patina. Keeps the size and manufacturer's label in the pocket. This one is illegible. From the mid-40s period. Size 38 regular (US medium-short). The dimensions are as follows: chest (pit to pit) - approx. 54 cm (21.25" in.) shoulder - approx. 50 cm (19.68" in.) arm (pit to cuff) - approx. 56 cm (22.04" in.) arm (shoulder to cuff) - approx. 62 cm (24.40" in.) back - approx. 76 cm (29.92" in.) weight - 1485 gr (3.2 lb.)
