True Surplus: RCAC Jacket

March 31, 2020 By In Surplus, Women's Clothes, Women's Jackets No Comments

This is a nice piece of authentic military surplus that was not featured in the catalog, presumably due to more limited quantities. A beautiful wool with silk lining women’s uniform jacket from the RCAC-Royal Canadian Army Cadets, a youth ROTC-type program of the Canadian Army. Complete with price tag and “Discovered By Banana Republic” tag, it’s a gorgeous collector’s item.

Amazing quality, sized for a fairly petite person.

She loved the clothes, and as an artist, she was drawn to the illustrations. Robyn went on to study illustration at an art college in Banana Republic’s hometown of San Francisco, CA, and she worked for years as a background artist for animation.
