WWII US 6th ARMY UNIFORM
This is a US 6th Army Officer uniform. In very good condition. Bears the patch of
the 6th army as well as officer stripes in the sleeves. Like many other officer
uniforms, this was tailor made. The tags are still present. Scallop pockets. This
style of jacket was worn with the "pinks" (pants).
With golden metal buttons. A larger size of the buttons was used to close the coat.
While a smaller version was employed in the pocket flaps. Once the pockets
were closed the buttons remained visible.
The sixth Army patch was activated in 1943 in Houston, Texas. The unit was
deployed in the South Pacific theater under the name of "Task Force Alamo".
The tag shown in the photo below indicates that the uniform was manufactured by
a tailor, instead of being mass produced in some factory. Officers had the
prerogative to take this action.
