Added 2023-01-20 19:01:55 +0000 UTCnot back in the shop just yet but we came across these super rare “Frogskin camouflage pants” from WW2 and I couldn’t not them before I shipped them out (they sold in like 0.2 seconds) They’re made of Herringbone Twill (HBT) which is a cool textile. This specific pattern (frog skin) is reversible with a five-color jungle pattern on a green background on one side and a three-color beach pattern with a tan background on the other side. They were first issued in 1942 to Marine Raiders, and only used for about two years, mostly in the Pacific theater. They were briefly used in the European theater until more than a few accidental friendly fire occurred because of how similar the uniform looked to SS uniforms. Only about 150,000 were made so there aren’t many floating around nowadays. They’re high waisted, cropped to the ankle and have large thick pockets and it’s impractical for me to keep them but boy they are cool.
