Bob Hudson Posted January 22, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2019 No idea what this: someone added a map pocket (using OG fabric), and there is a pocket on the left sleeve. There are two upper front pockets, each with two exposed buttons. Is this something made from leftover bolts of camo fabric for the hunting marker (not like most hunters need a sleeve pocket for their pen and pencil)?

American Graffiti Posted January 22, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 22, 2019 Custom made for a Marine in Korea I'd say Sleeve pockets are a common Korean War mod Also the cut is like the Marine Gomer Pyle shirts ie. concealed button fly front and inside pocket, furthermore these pieces have been salvaged from a sateen Gomer Pyle shirt Nice and unusual Just my 2cents AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hudson Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted January 23, 2019 There are no labels or stamps: would these have been made by small tailors shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
