We are pleased to make several announcements...
We have restocked our Army Herringbone Twill Fatigues with a limited production of "Cast-Iron" fatigues. The differences between these and our regular run fatigues is that the fabric is heavier due to a heavy pigment used in the dyeing of the fabric. This heavy pigment gives the fabric is slightly heathered appearance which is the reason for the "Cast Iron" title. The finish is just as robust, durable in the wash, and resistant to the sun. These are very durable also like cast-iron! Sale prices are still reflective of this new limited stock. Swatches are available for your review and testing. Our regular production HBT fatigues are due to be restocked this summer. Please check the Army Field Uniform Page for details.
We are excited to announce our very own production run of the Leggings, Canvas, Dismounted, M1938. These are the men's army leggings worn throughout WWII and worn over the service shoes in every theater of operation and in every climate. These were eventually replaced by the Boots, Service, Combat AKA buckle boots. These are now in stock.
After several years since our last production run of Winter Combat Jackets (AKA Tanker Jackets) we are excited to announce that we have restocked our inventory. We have put together the finest materials available to produce jackets with quality only matched by originals. Check the Army Field Uniforms page for details.
We have restocked our Officer's Service Coats in dark shade, in VERY limited quantities due to a shortage of fabric. Furthermore some of our coats were made in 100% wool elastique and others in wool/poly blend elastique. Sizes restocked are 42 to 50 chest.
We have introduced our own production run of the specialized "Griswold Bag" used by WWII US airborne troops. This item was technically called Container, Individual, Aerial delivery, Rifle. We have completed a limited quantity of this specialized item. Please see the Army Field Equipment page for details.
We have restocked more of our quality Jacket, Field, Wool, M1944 AKA Ike Jackets in sizes 44 through 50. In these sizes we also made a VERY limited small quantity of Ike jackets in Officer's dark shade elastique. These are made here in LA by our talented in-house production staff. In addition a very small run of Officer's service coats in dark shade elastique is restocking between sizes 44 through 50. Please check the Army Dress Uniforms page for details.
We have completed our production run of officer's
dress shirts and more trousers. In addition to restocking more Pink shirts
to our existing line we are now introducing Tan Tropical dress shirts.
Also, for limited time we have made a run of Officer's field shirts in a
slightly darker shade of OD. Our officer's Dark shade (Choc) trousers are
restocked and we introduced Tan Gabardine trousers. Also, new to our line
are Trousers, Field, Wool, M1944, OD#33. These trousers are the matching
color trousers to the dress coats and OS caps. (The M37 wool trousers are
a lighter shade and contrast the dress coats.) Please see the US Army
dress uniforms page for details.
Our next delivery of Reverse Upper Service Shoes, Russet Service Shoes, Paratrooper Jump Boots, Buckle boots, and USMC Boondocker Service Shoes has arrived. If you have been waiting for this restocking please order now as we are shipping out reservations as fast as we can.
