Jacket, HBT (Herringbone Twill), Special, OD 7, US Army, Medium

Genuine WWII US Army 'Special' HBT overshirt, featuring an inner flap behind the front buttons and two buttons under the collar intended for attaching the antigas woolen hood. This type, which retains the two breast cargo pockets of the previous versions, was worn both as a combat jacket and as a utility jacket in the ETO, particularly in Normandy. This color was introduced in 1943 (Olive Drab Shade 7).

In excellent overall condition, the present jacket retains all its original buttons. Size: Medium. Label is illegible.
