ORIGINAL WWII US ARMY USMC MARINE CAMOUFLAGE COVERALLS This is a pair of US Army issue camouflage coveralls that was used in the Pacific Theater of Operations. These were the ones that were suppose to have internal suspenders built into them. Although the material is reversible, the uniform is not, that was a major difference between the Army and Marine versions. The sleeve cuffs have the 13 star metal buttons and the pockets have flaps. The CONMAR zipper works very well and does not bind but the flap behind it has a 1-1/2" tear at the top (see last photo). Typical fading from use, period repairs and the internal suspenders were removed although the bottom braces for them are still in place (see photo). Overall this is a good solid pair of coveralls and would make a great display. The soldiers name and serial number is stamped just below the collar as you can see in the photos, but the last name is hard to make out. All the snaps appear to be in good working order. If there was a Quartermaster label it is either gone or I just wasn't able to find it. I measured these out at: shoulder to shoulder: 21" armpit to armpit: 25"+ waist: 21" inseam: 32" sleeve length: 26" Although the measurements are pretty big, this was designed to fit over the combat uniform so it was oversized. If you don't wear a combat uniform under, than this is pretty big. These were the overalls that were issued to Troops in the Pacific and were initially hated as you had to remove all your gear and uniform to relieve yourself. Many GI's cut a flap in the back or just cut a section out of the back so they could go the bathroom while in combat. I will also combine auctions and accept local pick up. I recently have been having good luck once again selling to some overseas locations. I have recently been shipping to many other countries, but will still not ship to certain countries nor will I ship to APO's. However, certain items CANNOT be shipped outside the United States such as military radio equipment. I will not bend, tweek or break any laws restricting the shipping of certain items. Comes from a smoke free home, feel free to ask questions. PAYPAL ONLY , I will ship within 1 business days of receipt of payment. I will only charge for shipping. I will NOT charge or pad my auction with handling charges. If there is an overcharge in shipping I will refund the difference. ABOUT HANDLING CHARGES : I still hate handling charges and view them as a loop hole for some unreputable sellers to increase their profits. I won't use handling charges unless a buyer requests special services. ABOUT POSTAGE RATES . I do refund any excess postage the eBay shipping calculator charges if and when it happens and it does. If postage comes out to more, I eat that cost so I try to be careful about postage. I never deliberately try to increase profit by boosting postage. That has been suggested by a couple of people. You know what? Just because you had something shipped from somebody that came from someplace else cheaper doesn't mean it's that cost for all 50 states. And size of the box determines excess postage sometimes. When anything gets over 12 inches in width, length or depth some postage goes sky high. That's why I OFFER OPTIONS, because some postage will be much cheaper. I had one brainiack tell me something was outrageous and yes, the Priority shipping was very high, but if Dr. Spock there had bothered to look at the optional shipping he would have seen it could have been shipped three times cheaper via Parcel Post. Sometimes when this happens and I notice it I try to bring that to the attention of the buyer and will refund if they made a mistake after payment. You would be surprised to know how many people just accept Priority shipping without even thinking or looking at the optional shipping rates. INTERNATIONAL POSTAL RATES I have been accused by more than one person that I am over charging on shipping for profit. Guess what! I DO NOT SET THE POSTAL RA... read more
