Our 1921 pattern U.S. Army insignia is made from 100% wool felt and custom dyed to match unissued original examples. Issued from the 1920s and into America’s involvement in WWII, these “felt on felt” rank patches were originally intended for wool garments such as the Service Coat, Overcoat and Shirt. Nevertheless, during the war, wool felt patches could be seen on many uniforms from Field Jackets to Jump Uniforms and became a popular private purchase item on “Four Pockets” and “Ike Jackets” due to their professional appearance.
