WW2 HBT Allies?

Hello
What are your thoughts on this HBT?

* The buttons are smooth/Plain,
* No tags indicating what country?


Thank you
Tony

U.S. issue, with the so-called laundry number.
Possibly, M-3470.

Yes it's the US second pattern herringbone twill jacket, made between 1941 and 1943, in Sage Green HBT. Buttons may have been replaced, usually have a circle of stars and copper finish.

I think the buttons are original, they used multiple types. I think I have a jacket with these same buttons.

Did make these with plastic buttons also, like the laundry number which does imply US military issue. Nice find.
