Trousers, Combat, Winter, 'Tanker bib', Named

€245.00
Tax included

Superb genuine WWII US 2nd type tanker bib or winter combat trousers, in wool lined twill, with a zippered fly opening slightly off-center. The leg bottoms can be gathered with snaps. Zippers in working order, manufactured by Conmar and Prentice.

Often worn by tank crews and motorcyclists, the tanker jacket and pant or combat jacket and bib (the name "tanker jacket" seems to be the term mostly used) was also widely used by infantry and airborne officers, 504th PIR paratroopers, fighter pilots and Naval Beach Battalions on D-Day. It was warmer than the A-2 jacket and more comfortable to wear. The jacket and pant/bib was made of the same material and had the wool blanket type lining.

This tanker bib belonged to some R.C. Weedman.

Size Small.
