Reproduction US HBT Camouflage Uniform. This listing is for one jacket and one trouser. Cloth: The cloth is specific to "our" US made fabric from 5 years ago. 100% cotton herringbone twill, with the "Army" weave. (Both Army and Marine Corps camo uniforms use the same cloth.) Color: I finally found some original, unissued fabric with a "khakier" base color on the green side. This has been duplicated perfectly. These will never be considered too green. Yes, this is an "original" shade of US camo. Not some blithering nonsense I'm making up to explain away a screw-up. The comparison photo (see below) is our new stuff against original WWII fabric. T is no "one" shade of US camo. Among my originals I have 3 fairly distinct shades in the base color of the green side. It varies from "pea green" (like the "WT" material), to "pale green" (the most common and like our older US made material) to a "khaki-green" with a bit more gold or yellow in it. The latter is the most sought after by collectors; probably because it's closest to khaki. The pea-green shade also turns this same, more yellow color about 5 minutes after it copulates with dirt. And, yes, our camo it has the right number of colors, 5 on the green side and 4 on the brown. Patterns: We used our patterns, so these are identical to our US Made uniforms in size and fit. The buttons were reproduced from original samples. The jackets have the correct "lipped" coffee colored buttons, specific to Army Camo jackets. Jackets and trousers have realistic spec labels. Jacket: The camouflage HBT jacket is very similar in design to the regular olive drab version. Two breast pockets, gas flap, and adjustable cuffs. The camouflage jackets also have hidden buttons and reinforced elbows. Our jackets are identical to the original, down to the specific caramel colored rimmed buttons on the placket. Spec label in pocket. Non-reversible. Sizing: Just like originals, these are very roomy, being designed to be worn over the field jacket. Most jackets are 6 inches larger than the chest size. Army HBT's were 10 inches larger to allow for this. Europe is cold and wet. It's not Georgia or Alabama.Tfore, if you do not intend to wear a jacket underneath, you can order one size smaller than the chart states for a snugger fit. Insignia? I have never seen insignia worn on these uniforms in photos nor on original samples. Trousers: Matching camo trouser for jacket. Two cargo pockets, button fly, belt loops, and reinforced knees. However, I made a judgment call to throw authenticity out the window after a bit of personal experience. The damned gas flap is the most hateful and annoying piece of crap ever stuffed into a pair of pants. It's only purpose appears to guarantee that you will piss on your leg. If the lack of a wad of fabric that feels like a loaded diaper rubbing your giblets precludes you from having a successful "time warp" experience...sorry. Sizing: These are not oversized. (This goes for ours and originals). The inseams are 34" which means most people will want to hem them, or roll the cuffs. Order your "normal" waist size. All trousers have 34" inseams. These uniforms are specific to At the Front and are not available or related to those from any other vendor. Please contact us for more detailed sizing information. Returns 10 day money back return.
