I was always suspect of their denim because some of their HBT stuff is off. I'm in LA for a bit so will have to make a trip to their showroom and check it out. Thanks
When it comes to WWII USMC HBT, believe it or not, several years ago RRL came out with a pair of HBT dungarees that were a dead on match to the color of USMC type 2 combat pants complete with the correct pocket shape and black anodized buttons. They really nailed the subtle green/mustard color of USMC HBT. I bought two pairs and have washed and worn a pair over the years and they've faded to look just like originals. I also have a pair of WWII Impressions USMC HBT's and they're just don't match the subtle color difference of USMC HBT.
WWII USN denim dungarees are awesome. Does anyone make a good reproduction of them?
ReplyDeletewwww.wwiiimpressions.com has a decent set of WWII era U.S. Navy dungarees and shawl collar coat. Priced fairly too!

ReplyDeleteHow many pairs of vintage ones do you own? I've never had a pair myself.
ReplyDeleteI own two pairs of original USMC HBT's and three pairs of ARMY HBT's. Originak USMC HBT's are really tough to find in larger sizes.
