"Vintage 1971 Josef Freed CF Rifle Green Service Dress Coat Size N-19 Canadian"

Authentic Cold War–era Canadian Forces service dress coat, manufactured by Josef Freed Clothing in October 1971. This was the standard formal uniform for Canadian military personnel following the 1968 Unification of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, replacing branch-specific pre-1968 uniforms. Historical Context: While not a combat garment, this Rifle Green service dress coat would have been worn for ceremonial duties, parades, inspections, and formal events in Canada and abroad. Soldiers of this period often served in NATO deployments in Europe and on United Nations peacekeeping missions such as Cyprus and the Middle East during the height of the Cold War.
