This is going to be my 2nd colorization project. Thanks in advance. I only know patches.

 

What type of jacket is this so that I can search for proper colors?

 

Also, would you say that is a gabardine style hat?

 

Thank you!

Jacket is an Army M1941 field jacket (officially called Jacket, Field, OD). Correct shade is Olive Drab #2 and here's a link to some info on original M1941s:

The 7th Photo Recon Squadron trained pilots and technicians for photo recon stateside during WW2.

 

 

Hope this helps,

But for serious, thanks gents! I built my color palette to work with from your information about the jacket and cap. Once the original photo arrives mid next week I can now start right away!!

I finally got around to working on this photo today. Still have to work on all of the threads of the jacket, tone the pipe, do the aviation piping in the hat, and do all of the skin tones. And make all of the blacks actually black.
