The WW2 5 Button Wool Sweater is a high-quality reproduction of the classic wool pullover worn by U.S. troops during World War II. Featuring the distinctive five-button V-neck front, this sweater provided warmth, durability, and comfort under field jackets or flight gear.
Crafted from heavy-duty military-grade wool with ribbed cuffs and waistband for a snug fit, it’s perfect for re-enactors, collectors, or anyone who appreciates authentic WWII clothing.
This versatile sweater pairs well with M41 Field Jackets, M43 Uniforms, or A-2 Flight Jackets — a must-have garment for cold-weather events or period-correct displays.
Historische Context
The 5-button wool sweater was standard issue for U.S. Army personnel in WWII, worn across all branches — infantry, airborne, and air corps. The buttoned neckline provided ventilation during exertion, while the thick wool offered insulation against harsh conditions. Originals are now rare and highly collectible.
