Description

During the 1930’s, the US Army’s work/ fatigue uniform was made from blue denim. Just prior to WWII, the impracticality of such clothing became painfully obvious and a new design was created using a light green herringbone twill fabric. Referred to as the “1st pattern (sometimes 1st model)” HBT uniform, production began in 1941 and continued until the end of 1942 when it was replaced with a simpler design (2nd pattern). The 1st Pattern HBT’s were worn throughout WWII and are occasionally seen in Korea.
