Vintage 1950s West Point Cadet Jacket – Size 37L – Gray Wool Blend with Black Trim & White Collar

This authentic 1950s West Point Military Academy cadet jacket is a rare piece of U.S. military history. Tailored by Jacob Reed’s Sons of Norristown, PA, the jacket is constructed from a gray wool blend with distinctive black soutache trim along the chest and cuffs. It features a white cotton collar piece, now aged and stained from decades of storage, which adds to its vintage character. The inside label includes handwritten measurements and tailoring codes, confirming its original issue to a cadet in the Long (37L) size range.
This jacket exemplifies the formal dress style worn by cadets during mid-century academy training and ceremonial events. It’s ideal for collectors of military uniforms, historical reenactors, or anyone seeking a display-worthy piece of West Point heritage.
