a jacket-style military uniform jacket with a short waist, named after President Dwight D. Eisenhower; also a proper name.
Named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, who popularized this style of military jacket during World War II when he was Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe.
The Eisenhower jacket was actually more practical than the longer dress uniform—it allowed soldiers better mobility in combat and became so popular that it influenced civilian fashion, with women's tailored jackets adopting the same short, fitted design in the 1950s.
