US ARMY - M-43 HBT Jacket Size: 36R, equivalent to Men's L. Although it's a size 36, it's a bit large, so please refer to the actual size measurements. I previously owned a 40R M-43, and this feels about the same size or even a bit larger. This is an introduction to the US Army's masterpiece jacket, the M-43 HBT Jacket. This jacket is known as the HBT (Herringbone Twill) Jacket, named after its distinctive herringbone twill fabric. Adopted in the early stages of World War II, it greatly influenced the two-pocket military shirts like the OG 107 that followed. While M-43s with 13-star metal buttons are common, the type offered here uses the rather rare urea buttons. This model has a gas flap, which is also found on many M-43s and P-44s, but the gas flap has been cut. It's a detail that's unnecessary today, but it gives off that classic military feel. For everyday wear, the silhouette looks cleaner without the flap. Also, the stencil "B9317" is on the neck and hem. It's not a particularly noticeable detail, but it's a nice touch for vintage enthusiasts. The M-43 has many variations, famous for its various specification changes such as pocket shapes, 13-star buttons, urea buttons, and the presence or absence of a gas flap. This particular piece has a gas flap (though cut) and pockets without gussets, suggesting it was manufactured during the war. And above all, the fabric is appealing. This piece has some color remaining, and the twill is quite distinct. As the color fades, the twill will become even more prominent, showing a wonderful aging process. This jacket is relatively versatile and simple, making it suitable for various layering styles. How about taking this opportunity? It has a moderate amount of wear, with some fraying on the sleeve ribs, small holes, and stains, but it's generally in good condition.
