Description
This Second Pattern jacket is notable for its functional design, featuring square-cut chest pockets and a gas flap behind the front closure, which was a precautionary measure in case of chemical warfare. The jacket is made from durable HBT fabric, designed to withstand rugged conditions while providing comfort and breathability in hot environments. It is finished with black-painted 13-star buttons, a classic detail that adds to its authenticity and historical accuracy. In 1943, the HBT uniform was updated with a darker OD#7 color, but this Second Pattern remained a widely used and iconic piece of American military attire.
This American HBT Jacket is perfect for WWII reenactment, historical displays, or as a functional piece of military-inspired clothing, offering both durability and a piece of military history.
