Coverall, HBT (Herringbone Twill), Camouflage, Theater-Made, 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team

Genuine WWII US Army HBT coverall, of the second type specified in September 1943.

Size 38R.

The 'Suit, Herringbone Twill, OD No. 7, One-Piece, Special' features four patch pockets with flaps: two on the thighs, one behind the right leg, and another one on the left breast, which is secured by a button.

Complete and in very good overall condition; shows a rare theater-made camouflage pattern, made of random stains of green, ochre and black paint — a scheme widely used by the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team, found in the spring of 2021 during a house clearance in Villeneuve-Loubet among a batch of work clothes.
