WWII US "Frogskin" Camouflage Coverall

Nicked named “frogskin” camouflage pattern and the very first to be issued to US troops during World War II. These one-piece suits were procured by the Army but as is the case with many uniform and equipment pieces, they were also occasionally worn by US Marines. Predominantly, these were used in the Pacific Theatre, however, there are reportedly some word-of-mouth accounts from veterans that a small handful of GIs wore them in the European Theatre also. The 100% cotton HBT fabric is reversible (green for verdant terrain, tan/brown for beach landings, etc.), however, the suit is designed to be worn green side out. Inside is stamped with size “40r” in black ink.

This example is in very good condition with no holes, tears or mendings. All original buttons intact. The Conmar brand zip is present and runs well. Colors are still strong and vibrant. It will be very hard to find a better exampel!
