    French made for US servicewomen. I believe these are from the same maker, however only the jacket is labeled. Jacket is labeled: "Jackets Field WI. OD. Wms Size 18 S Cazaux & C - 1945". The Ike jacket is one size smaller than the trousers. They still work together it just means the waist size on both pieces is the same. Both pieces have some very tiny moth holes. The jacket has some spots on the collar. The pants have some wear. One side button has been replaced with a standard US army button. There is a tear underneath the side buttons. The pants have been let out and the waistband redone. The lining on the waist shows a lot of wear and tear. There is a hole in the pocket that will need fixed if you intend to use the pocket. There is some wear along the crotch. There are some stains on the pantlegs. It is wearable as-is, but could use a cleaning. I have not attempted to launder this outfit. I included a photo of the pants hem as well.

     

    NOTE: I originally thought this was British made, based on the style and buttons, but upon further research, discovered the company in Paris. They had to make German uniforms prior. I included the info as a photo. Source.
