Home | USAAF/USAF Jackets | D-1
D-1 shearling jackets were made for USAAC mechanics, and came with a matching trouser set. The jackets
date as early as 1937, and were made well through WWII. The earlier jackets don't have pockets, as the two
examples below show, while most later jackets do have pockets, with a zippered closure. The jackets were also used
by aircrews who found shearling jackets in short supply. These jackets are usually a little larger than their ticketed size, and
have oversized sleeves, which were often folded at the end.
