Original U.S. UniformsAll items on this page are guaranteed original.
They may be returned at anytime if you feel they are otherwise.
Last Updated: February 24, 2010
Condition: We try to describe these accurately, and we don't buy junk. However, these uniforms are 60 years old, and most have some evidence of their age. They are totally serviceable, and we may perform small repairs or replace missing buttons and such where needed.
Sizing: The sizes we state are the actual factory sizes stamped in the garments. Militaria dealers are famous for claiming "size 38S but fits a 44R! I swear!". When no tag is present, we measure them to determine the correct size.
Size Warning: This is a huge problem with these uniforms: These WILL NOT fit a larger size than they are marked! For example, if you wear a 44R, you WILL NOT be able to wear a 42R. We guarantee it. Despite these warnings, every week one or two people disregard us and try to prove us wrong. If you order a smaller size than you wear, we will not refund your shipping when you find us correct and want to return it.
DON"T DO IT.
Mackinaw Coats:
A: Second Model, size 36, nice shape, poplin. Clear label. $75
B: First Model, szie 36, canvas duck. Label faded, a few stains, missing one front button. (We have none that match). Good for field use. $65
Original US Army 4 Pocket Service Coats
We found a few original service jackets in decent sizes. These are WWII dated jackets and are in very good to excellent condition. These all have some evidence of being 60 years old! A small stain or moth hole is possible, but nothing major. If there are blatant defects (moth holes on the chest, missing buttons, etc..) that will be described in the "notes" column.
All could stand a dry clean and a pressing.
Some are stripped (devoid of insignia), but a others have a unit patch, stripes or hash marks. We sell them as is, with whatever insignia they happen to have!
Insignia sold separately.

US Army "Ike" Jackets
We found a few original service jackets in decent sizes. These are WWII dated jackets (not the M1949 models) and are in very good to excellent condition.
Most are stripped (devoid of insignia), but a couple have a unit patch, stripes or hash marks. (No, none have original white-tongued screaming chickens or anything like that).
Insignia sold separately.

US Wool Shirts, Original
"Special" is the model with the gas flap and plain collar.
"Coat style" has a banded collar and a placket on the front.
"Pre-War" is like coat style but also has elbow patches.
Original melton wool overcoats. Standard issue throughout the War. We have a mix of 1939 (brass buttons) and 1942 (plastic buttons) coats. The condition varies from fair to excellent. All are field serviceable and fine for re-enacting.
Yes, the prices on large sizes is abhorrent. However, they no longer exist. Try finding one. Pakistani made repros are $200. If you want to fuss, go get one of those.
The sizes listed are the actual factory sizes! Not the wishful thinking that a 38 will somehow fit a 46. These are cut big, and you may be able to wear one size smaller than you normally wear. In other words, if you wear a 46, a 44 will probably work unless you intend on wearing 3 layers underneath. Two sizes smaller will NOT work.
"Cut down" coats have been shortened by about 12" by the soldiers. This was a common WWII modification (sometimes via tailor, others via knife) as the end of the coat tended to get wet and caked with mud in the field and became heavy and debilitating.
International Orders: These coats weigh 3.5-4 kg. Shipping will be $50-60 to Europe and Anzacland.

Price Notes 42R $175
US Army issue overseas caps, with miscellaneous branch piping. Some caps are WWII issue, some are the late 40's pattern with the rectangular profile many weenies insist mean WWII airborne. (Not the case.) The piping is nothing sexy; there's no armor, FSSF, TD, infantry (aka paratrooper), or ranger. Just Quartermaster, Transport, Signal Corps etc. Sold by size only. No piping choice. We have sizes 6 7/8, 7 only.
Each $10.00
U.S. Wool Trousers, M1937 original
Original WWII "combat serviceable" mustard wool trousers, in good to very good, completely serviceable condition.Most will have a small stain or two or a small repair. An affordable alternative to the expensive reproductions.
These are the actual sizes of the trouser. (Some dealers let them out and then call them 2 sizes larger than they actually are.) Various dates and makers. Our supply is VERY limited, as large sizes are incredibly difficult to find. All of these are very much "mustard" in color.
