Excellent condition, original US WWII 1943 pattern, well matched OD#7 cotton jacket and M43 pants. The pants, when purchased, had stitching holes from either WWII rigger added or post war M51 pattern pockets sewn on then removed at one time. I had a set of the very authentic WWII Impressions manufactured Market Garden/ Bastogne type paratrooper rigger made cargo pockets sewn on. The pockets matched up very close to the original stitch holes. Both the jacket and pants tags are washed out, but retain about 95% of their original OD# 7 color. The jacket only has some fraying at the cuffs, otherwise no other condition issues. The one piece, cut-edge 101st Airborne patch was on the jacket when purchased, but I suspect it was re-enactor applied. The M43 pants have no condition issues that I can find - no holes, rips or stains. All the snaps and buttons are intact and functioning. The jacket measures about 23" chest, armpit to armpit. The sleeves measure 23" from top of shoulder to end of cuff. The shoulders measure 20" from rear shoulder to shoulder seam and a 21" waist laying flat. The pants measure 33"+" waist and 30"inseam. Nice complete, authentic Market Garden/ Bastogne type matched set for display or living history impression. Free insurance and delivery confirmation included with delivery costs
