This vintage Parachute Regiment mess jacket is an eye-catching example of post-war British military tailoring. The vivid red wool and cropped silhouette create instant impact, while the smooth satin lining and reinforced seams speak to C.H Bernard & Sons Ltd’s quality construction. Period-accurate metal and embroidered insignia, together with decorative braiding and a nipped-in waist, deliver authentic regimental character that’s prized by collectors and wearable by anyone seeking a standout outer layer.

Wear it as a statement piece over a white tee and jeans for relaxed vintage-cool, or pair with a shirt and pencil skirt for formal or themed occasions. The piece remains in great wearable condition with only very faint marks on the back that are unobtrusive when worn. Ideal for military memorabilia displays, costume projects, or daily styling that leans into heritage fashion.
