WW2 USMC P-44 FROGSKIN CAMOUFLAGE JACKET

BRAND USMC.

DESCRIPTION
The USMC P-44 shirt was so named (unofficially), due to the year the model appeared. As the successor to the distinctive P-42 dungaree combat uniform, the P-44 was quite different in design - the small pockets of its predecessor were replaced with two, deep, side entry pockets (sometimes referred to as grenade pockets). It has a 2-position button cuff, and is made from the distinctive 100% cotton HBT Frogskin camo.
The fabric is double-sided with predominantly green on the outer, and brown on the inner. This double sided attribute allowed garments to be made that were reversible.
Details include:
- Donut US Marine Corps buttons.
- Stencils: S-6104.
- Marine nickname (surname?) on chest - STRYKER.
- Cool as FUxxxCK.
