This is a rare and authentic 1966 US Air Force cold weather system consisting of two separate military garments issued as an original set to provide a complete 2-in-1 tactical solution. This specific combination features the MIL-J-4883C wind-resistant cotton sateen field jacket manufactured by Broxton Garment Co. in July 1966 paired with the MIL-L-4889C button-in wool-pile frieze undercoat liner from Centre Mfg. Co. dating to 1964. During the Vietnam era, these components were commonly issued as a single functional unit to service members, making this matched pair a historically accurate and complete find for the serious collector. The outer jacket includes the integral roll-up hood concealed in the collar and the original OG-107 sateen finish while the heavy internal liner provides a secondary layer of insulation that can be removed and worn independently. Finding these two components still together as a set is unusual, as they are frequently separated in the secondary market; this listing represents a significant opportunity to own a preserved piece of 1960s USAF history. As a pre-owned vintage collectible, this two-piece system is sold in its current as-is state, retaining all original heavy-duty zippers, drawstrings, and button attachments.
