US HBT OD7 Overalls
During 1942 the US army found that the sage green colour they had faithfully been using during the initial years of the Second World War was no longer doing its job - it had become too light for concealment, and it was found that exposure was leading to fading of the fabric. So, after many tests and field trials, in 1943 Olive Drab #7 was introduced as its replacement.
OD no.7 is a darker shade than the sage green and was deemed much more appropriate for concealment purposes.
The suit was issued to many personnel, originally the tankies, and then later on issued to mechanics, linesmen, and General Infantry and used extensively throughout the Pacific Theatre.
Update your US impression with these Olive Drab no.7 HBT coveralls - we also have OD#7 HBT Trousers and Caps available.
