Anybody who has seen the pictures of the post Guadalcanal US Marines will have seen the Australian Battledress jacket; however, you may only be aware of the Aussie link as of now.
I have just boxed up a return item for Barry at Spearhead Militaria and included an original Australian WWII Battledress jacket as issued to the USMC and some Army soldiers. I have taken additional pics of my mint 40R jacket and a CD full of comparison pics and measurements. The item is all set to be reproduced. Cheaply too. I have spent $400 on larger efforts by NCHS in the USA. I spoke to a Thai seamstress today who is modding some sleeves about making a smaller version out of the NCHS offerings I have. Theirs look like something the guy from Talking Heads wore in the 80s.
So be on the lookout! Get those 'left arm' chervons and combat patches ready!!
