    Default US Army 1st Patt HBT Jacket

    G'day all

    Seeing I pulled out my black one here's the one underneath
    Unusual SGT rank applied, but is the real deal.
    I'll see what else I can drag out before the Wifey gets home

    Rene I want your magic hat, I think it is similar to Frosty the Snow Mans who comes to life.

    Nice HBT, Rene.

    Painting stripes on the sleeve was a regular occurence in the US Marines.........

    Cheers Steve,
    But this has an Army owner mark and this guy marked it like an obsession

    Perhaps it was normal in the Pacific Theater. If there were no correct insignia
    in stock, a guy might have to wait for months to get some.........

    Nice jacket Rene. And I also drag out my stuff when the wife is away, though I think you may have more.

    I have a similar jacket, but with out the stripes, and it also has the 13 star buttons. I also have a one piece HBT coverall with the same buttons.

    Here in the States, years ago, HBT items were scarce and brought in a high $$. That seems to have changed lately; I've noticed that HBT pieces on e-Bay are going for
    little $$, if they sell at all. Not sure what happened. Maybe someone found that lost HBT wharehouse.
