• Vintage 40s WWII MNCS Sheepskin Jerkin

    €150.00

    Vintage 40s WWII British sheepskin jerkin

    This historic sheepskin jerkin was issued by the Merchant Navy Comforts Service (MNCS) to shipwrecked sailors during World War II. The MNCS was a vital wartime organization dedicated to supporting British merchant seamen who often endured perilous conditions at sea.

    The jerkin is made from thick, insulating sheepskin and is stamped in two places with “PROPERTY OF THE MERCHANT NAVY COMFORTS SERVICE”, marking it as an authentic piece of wartime naval history.

    It would make a striking addition to any WWII or maritime collection, and also serves as a bold statement piece for wear or display.

    After over 80 years, the jerkin remains in worn but evocative condition, showing signs of heavy use. It has developed a beautifully distressed patina, with visible rips and hand-stitched repairs—all contributing to its authenticity and rugged charm.
