Korea Ike/Pants and other stuff.

I just picked these up from an estate sale.

Great Ike, with pants, some 48 star flags and this "61" patch?

Anyone know what the patch is from?

Jackets from 55.

Yellow one looks to be 1st Cav Patch

The Red Bulls head is the 34th Division which I believe was a national guard unit activated for the war .

I've got my dad's Ikes from '53 - '54. I think there's a spec tag in one of the breast pockets if you have a look. Should give some info on the jacket.

Nice hash marks, BTW. 20 year vet?

Looks like it's from 55 based on the 46 model pattern. I also have his dog tag with a Tetanus shot from 51 on it.

38 XL? Was that extra long back then?

My dad's are 38, too -- no way I'm going to try them on.

Yeah, I'd never seen 38 XL before. I'm a 44 long usually and the sleeves fit me great, but the body was pretty tight. My son is a 40 and the jacket fit great but the sleeves were really long.

Super find. The 61st patch is interesting.

Big cred! No overseas hash marks though?
