ATF's new M1942 Uniforms:
We have discontinued production of US Made jump uniforms. The fabric available in the U.S. is now inferior to that used overseas and the remaining dyers and finishers have a habit of making mistakes and refusing to own up to them. So, instead of importing fabric from overseas to sew here, we simply let them assemble them there. We've worked closely with this company for 7 years and they now have "the hang of it". These new uniforms are equal to (or better than) our US made suits. They are superior in fit, pattern and quality to any other imported uniforms.
Pattern and details: These are absolutely, positively NOT the same chintzy M42's sold in SGN or anhy other vendor. These are contracted specifically for us, by us. Last Fall, I sent my unissued original 40R jacket and size 34 trousers to the manufacturer. They bagged the old pattern completely and started over. I also have mint condition 42R and 44R jackets here to compare the size grade. These now fit just like the real thing. Compared to our US Made uniforms, these have higher armpits, better fitting shoulders, more taper in the body and taller collars.
The trousers improvements are minor. The belt loops are more accurate, labels are improved, and we even had exact buttons reproduced. (Yes, I cut two off of my original pants to copy. Sniff*)
Hardware: Zippers are genuine Talon brand and the snaps are the same zinc plated, US Made Scovil brand parts we used on the uniforms we made here. Belt buckles are also US Made. Not those tin things on the other repros.
Fabric & Color: These are same slightly brownish shade of olive drab #3 used on our current Tanker jackets. If you think these are too green, you're color blind or retarded. Or both. The 8 oz. 100% cotton twill is the same weight as used on the real WWII uniforms. Yes, some reproductions are made from heavier material (approaching denim) - but we're going by the original, not a copy. The finishing is superior to the US fabric we had too. The shrinkage is less than half as much.
Jackets: These are manufactured in sizes 36R, 40R, 44R, 48R and 52R. (That's equivalent to S,m M, L, XL and XXL in that order.) If your belly is bigger than your chest- order by your belly size. The two largest sizes have much less taper than the smaller ones.
Trousers: All are 34 inseam. Waist sizes are made in 28, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44.
