Ike Jacket...
Point of clarification: the jacket in the infamous photo is a No. 2 "cutaway" dress tunic -- the "Ike Jacket" (Battle dress blouse to the Brits) is actually a short "shell jacket". with a built-in belt.
The No. 2 is shortened to show the pleats, and "cut away" in the middle so as not to cover the sporran.
No offence meant, S_P, just pointing this out to help anyone looking for an Ike Jacket.
As far as a black one, I don't know of any -- the British, Aussies, Canucks and Yanks had Olive Drab and/or Khahki, although the Royal Navy had a dark blue one and the RAF a blue one, as well as the US Air Force.
Cheers, 
T.
