This 1939 West Point cadet uniform, made in the USA, reflects the academy’s longstanding tradition of discipline and formality. Crafted from cadet gray wool—a color adopted in 1816—the uniform typically included a high-collared tailcoat with brass buttons embossed with the academy emblem, and a matching overcoat with a cape for colder weather. Subtle modern updates like zippered trousers began appearing in the late 1930s, but the overall design remained rooted in 19th-century military formality, symbolizing West Point’s legacy and the prestige of its cadets.
