For all you HBT fans out there - I know there are a lot of you! So the story goes, after touring the entire CBI theatre in 1943, the British found they were woefully unprepared for the harsh reality of the jungle and designed the 44 pattern jungle shirt and pants, a very small number of which would be made by the Americans in their classic HBT as part of the War Aid program. These have some great and unique design features including long belt loops to fasten through matching loops on the shirt (as pictured). A classic and very rare pair of pants combining the best of British & American design!
Condition
This is used but good condition. No damage, and the HBT is still think and firm, but has faded through washing.
