I'm starting a separate thread about these women's uniform items so I'm not hijacking the very nice thread on Vietnam women's uniforms any more than I already have, since that thread is mainly photographs that are great for reference.

First up are a pair of women's rip-stop trousers. These have the pockets on the side as you can see from the photo and have a three-button closure on the left side, rather than on both sides, as the women's hot weather trousers do. Data tag is pictured below as well. Can anyone give me additional information on these trousers? Particularly, were they worn with the women's hot weather shirt (the one with the pockets on the chest) or the later women's shirt with the pockets at the bottom of the blouse? Or could they be worn with either?

And who can tell me anything about this women's wool flannel shirt? This is cut like the hot weather uniform tops, but made from wool flannel. The label is all but gone in terms of legibility, and the only thing I can make out is the size (20). I think this is the "Olive green shade 108 wool flannel shirt worn in coat fashion with the olive green wool serge field slacks" Stanton describes on page 223 of "US Army Uniforms of the Cold War".



Was this worn with insignia on it like the men's cold weather shirt, or without (with just rank and pin-on name tag) like the women's OG 108 field coat and slacks/skirt?

Anyone?

WOW size 20 - nice big size, you don´t see many this big (I think) most I have seen are 12 or 14

I guess the change from chest to hip pockets was in 1974/75. Same with the pants, pockets moved from the front to the sides in the mid 1970´s.
Regarding insignia, I think they were worn on the female shirts the same way as on the male shirts.

The biggest I have in my collection is the Army green corded uniform, size 24 for top and bottom. The size 24 is approximately equivalent to a modern day size 18, and these size 20's are about the same as a modern day size 14 (women's Large). In modern ACU's, that's still a Medium. It's interesting to see how sizes have changed over the years.

So the wool flannel sheet is then worn with the wool trousers, just like the guys cold weather wools?
