The French Ike Jacket is expertly crafted from heavy wool fabric and features felled seams, a belted waist with an "action back" for ease of movement. It's named after General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who revolutionized the US World War II army uniform with his functional makeover. The jacket's silhouette is traced back to this pivotal moment in history, and this and similar jackets from other countries are often referred to as "Ike" jackets.
