I have been looking for a while for HBT coveralls.

Stumbled across a listing on the What Price Glory website of coveralls in the "Closeout" section.

Found late pattern (post 1943) coveralls for 1/2 off of regular price...now $45.

Pretty good selection of sizes.

Received mine today. They are made in Pakistan, OK in quality but certainly not as issued 65 years ago. They are 100% cotton so expect shrinkage. I ordered a size, one bigger than what I normally wear. Haven't washed them yet but it is going to be close.

The item was shipped from United Arab Emirates and arrived in 4 days

Overall a good deal for the price. After a couple of washings and a unit patch and some grease no one but the "stitch Nazi's" will know.
