'Flage Guy Posted January 4, 2014 Share #76 Posted January 4, 2014 A great deal more carrying capacity was added to these Trousers, with roomy pouches encompassing the waist area, sealed with snapped flaps on both sides. Another improvement was dungaree buttons in place of press snaps and grommets for utilizing the web Belt Suspenders, and another experiment appeared in the form of large embroidered slots designed for the waist belt.

I know his name but not his history What you have there is a clean, good-sized pair of 1942 Marine Corps Utility Trousers; the Coat is indeed a '44. You say they're both named to the same guy?

jimmyduncan23 Posted December 2, 2020 Share #89 Posted December 2, 2020 Yes both come from one guy. Both initialed C.K. was told his name was Charles J Kohn. The seller said it was a relative. Cant remember what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Flage Guy Posted December 2, 2020 Share #90 Posted December 2, 2020 Thanks for the quick reply; it slipped my mind how old this thread actually is. I almost suggested finding some '44 Trousers and a '42 Coat to "complete" both pieces, but that being an original set, that's out of the question!!

'Flage Guy Posted December 2, 2020 Share #91 Posted December 2, 2020 As per the green light given by author GIJive, here are a few views of the U.S. Army's HBT Camouflage Suits. Below is the 1943 Suit which was designed to replace the One-Piece Jungle Suit, which was largely disliked as being impractical in the field although it was enjoyed in the Jungle Training Grounds here in the States. It is displayed beside one of the A.G.F.'s early 1942 experiments with varying patterns and fabric, in this case being printed with jungle 'flage on the outside, and plain O.D. #3 on the inside. It is identical in layout to the Marines' 1942 Suit, and no doubt inspired the design of the '42s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Flage Guy Posted December 2, 2020 Share #92 Posted December 2, 2020 The '43 Army Jungle Suit beside the '42 Marine Suit. Differing designs, but in essence the same Suits. Both of these are in identical condition: unwashed, generous-sized Trousers; the Jacket and Coat have been washed probably once, and both size 42.

'Flage Guy Posted December 3, 2020 Share #93 Posted December 3, 2020 Details of the Army Jacket...a lot more elaborate than the Marines' '42s- button enclosed pockets, frontal gas flaps, and other differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
