US Army WW2 Enlisted Service Tunic.
Replica WW2 4 pocket A class service tunics. These are the 1942 model and are the type worn by all the branches of service in the US Army in WW2 including Infantry, Airborne, Air Force, Armoured, Military Police etc.
Made by Kay Canvas with custom made wool. These took a while to get the fit correct and the wool correct, but it has been worth the wait.
The wool has been specially made for these tunics by Kay Canvas. After examining over 10 different original WW2 tunics, all of them different manufacturers and most of them a slightly different shade to each other. This wool was decided on the best match to the war time tunics.
Not only is the colour great but the finish on the wool is also a great match. Some of the previous reproductions have been given a too smooth a finish or have not had enough wool content so do not feel right to the touch. These tunics by Kay Canvas are ideal for your WW2 impression.
The enlisted mans wool service coat was worn in WW2 with the M1937 wool trousers, M1937 field shirt, tan tie and overseas garrison cap.
