Enlisted Marine Dress Blue
Uniform This is the dress uniform worn by Enlisted grade
Marines for formal or ceremonial occasions. We followed the pre-war 1926 style
to base our coats with a "Plain" back instead of the wartime "Split" back. We had 100% wool melton domestically custom woven to
meet our specifications. The coat is lined with a light-weight black
cotton twill fabric for comfort and durability. The buttons used are
military spec Marine corps style dress uniform buttons. All edges on the
coat have
red melton wool piping. The front of the coat has no pockets. The trousers are made
with no back pockets. The red NCO stripe is not sewn on the trousers and
is extra. As with the rest of our dress uniform products we carefully and proudly produce these high quality and authentic products in our location, not overseas in Asia. The sizing of our dress blue uniforms was made with military bearing in mind. We basing our size grading from period standards not contemporary men's clothing styles.

Any Marine wearing this uniform can rest assured that his pride in the Corps. will show through from inside all the way out.

| Marine Khaki Cotton Uniform This is the Summer Service uniform which at the beginning of WWII consisted of shirt, tie, trousers, belt, and hat. This uniform was the common uniform worn early in WWII by Marines stationed in the pacific at locations such as Wake Island, Pearl Harbor, Philippines, etc. The shirts were historically made from a lightweight comfortable cotton shirting and the trousers and hat were made from durable cotton twill. Our shirt is accurately replicated using a 100% cotton oxford shirting that has been pre-shrunk and is color matched, lightweight, and very comfortable to wear. It is constructed authentically with the distinctive scalloped pocket flaps, characteristic of USMC styling. The fit is consistent with what some Marines term as a "tailored" appearance, meaning the body is tapered for an athletic build. We use 100% cotton thread sewn with a fine needle and tightly stitched for that high quality look. Buttons are solid cast light brown melamine with 4 holes. All body seams were sewn double chain stitch. We also include the white cotton fabric panel behind the buttons characteristic of the WWII era summer shirts. A matching wedge-point tie made of the same shirting material is also available. This shirt was also at times worn under the Winter Service Coat as part of the Winter Service Woolen Uniform in lieu of the mustard wool flannel shirt. Because of the tapered athletic fit, customers with larger ads are advised to order up one size.
The trousers are made 8.5 oz khaki cotton twill in the correct shade of mustard/khaki. Thread is 100% cotton khaki and buttons are solid melamine cast tan color with 4 holes. Construction is authentic with double needle chain stitching on the inseams and outseams.
The Khaki garrison "Piss-Cutter" cap is made of the same khaki twill with rounded corners and insignia eyelet. Please check the
