As you all know, I love a good piece of camo, and there are very few pieces as iconic as the USMC P42 frogskin jacket. So hard to find have these become, that I believe this is the first I've ever had! This truly is the piece that carried the Marines' on their long march across the pacific. Developed and introduced early in the war, the P42 set was made from the newly introduced hbt camo, hand wearing cotton twill that was reversible allowing for use in different environments. These were built for war, an easy to produce simple garment, with a reversible body, and pockets front and back.
Condition
This is in well used shape but solid shape. There is fading to the hbt across the whole garment, with light discoloration and the odd tiny hole.
