The P-44 Frogskin Camouflage Jacket, a masterpiece issued to the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II. Reversible design with green-based jungle side and brown-based beach side. It is one of the most iconic camouflages that were fielded in the Pacific theater of war.
The P-44 is a model that appeared in the latter half of the war and has a historical background, having been confirmed to have been used in fierce battles such as the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa. While it has a simple structure, it stands out for its functional beauty specialized for actual battles.
This item is an original that retains the details of the time, such as the metal buttons on the front and the concise pocket configuration. In addition, the marking that seems to be an individual's name by stencil on the chest gives a sense of reality that only an actual used item can have. The unusually large pockets on the chest are particularly distinctive. This item was improved from the P-42 so that necessary items can be carried even if equipment is missing.
The condition of the item is overall very used, and there are repair marks on the back that appear to be from the war, a small hole, and a missing sleeve button on one side. However, the camouflage color is still there, and the item is still in very attractive condition for a vintage item that has been around for a long time. This is not just a piece of vintage clothing, but a piece of history. It is perfect as a collection or as a vintage item to be worn and enjoyed.
The size is equivalent to M, and the balance is easy to wear even today. I think it can be said to be a rare large size. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
