Very nice collectible items you both have,I wasn't aware there was a Jungle Camo type jacket?also how does this differ from the ETO type HBT Jacket worn in the early days following Normandy Invasion?............
Naa it's the regular army type that was withdrawn from the ETO, due to friendly casualties
I heard that the reason was not friendly firing.
These were experimental from the army, and they have to use up the fabrics.
Most of them went to the Pacific.
I might be wrong.

Taka
Very nice kit guys! I always wanted a set of these when I collected US gear back in the 80's.
Cheers, Ade.
