Verenigde Staten van Amerika - Unique WW2 US Tank CrewHBT ''Coverall'' - 1943 - 1945

Fantastic HBT ''Tank Crew'' overall of the 2nd model . These coveralls are the "Second Pattern" type worn by American Tankers throughout most of World War II. Made from herringbone twill (HBT) fabric, the coveralls are roomy, light, and durable. Coveralls keep a Tanker's standard service uniform (when worn underneath) clean from the oils and lubricants that are naturally encountered during tank maintenance. Being of loose fit, they provide better air circulation and comfort when sitting in a hot vehicle all day. As a one-piece garment, the HBT coveralls also streamline the uniform of the Tanker. This gives a better range of motion and less chance of snagging on parts of the tank; this is an important advantage when climbing in and out of hatches in a hurry. The coveralls feature metal "Thirteen Star" buttons, a common U.S. Army pattern of the time. The size is a relatively large size. Has some period repairs and the label has been washed / worn out through use. Woud look fantastic on a US tanker mannequin. See photo's in wear (note, the first foto is the 1st pattern, the second the 2nd pattern coveralls).

Fantastic and rare 100% original US Tankers coverall!
