US Army Officer Uniforms 1941

I unearthed this gem from the depths of the internet tonight. Impeccably presented items from the regulation uniforms of US Army Officers from 1941. Military uniformity in all its classic, American glory. Made all the better by precision and uniformity in presentation of these garments and items.
 Regulation shoes and socks.

Regulation cape, overcoat, jackets & raincoats 

 Various styles of US Army officer uniform shirts.

Regulation uniform accessories, including pouches and gun holster.

  3. You should read Zero History by William Gibson for lots of interestingness around American military clothing/fashion.
