First issued in May of 1941, what became known as the HBT (Herringbone Twill) Fatigue Uniform was a mainstay of World War II. Originally a military surplus shop stable, original versions of the HBT have suffered from the continued advancement of time, neglect in long-term storage, and dwindling availability with each passing year. These reproductions are brand new, manufactured to the original specs and still fresh in the package. Perfect for re-enactments, historical display, or regular day-to-day wear. Herringbone twill construction Double button-up front 2 large flap chest pockets Metal buttons Machine wash and dry
