13-Star HBT Jacket
SOLD
The
two-piece herringbone twill suit was briefly issued between 1941 and 1942 as the
first non-denim fatigues and was a drastic departure from its predecessor, opting
for olive herringbone twill over indigo denim with new, bold 13-star metal tack
buttons. The jacket is instantly recognizable today as a result of these signature
features.
