Army HBT (Herringbone Twill) one-piece coveralls, standard issue for mechanics, armor crewmen, and support personnel during the later years of the war. This is the 1943 model with integrated belt, single chest pocket, 13-star metal buttons, and classic olive drab HBT fabric.

Structurally intact and historically correct, with authentic construction throughout. Please note: the front zipper (Talon brand with red tape) is a postwar replacement and not original to the piece. Despite this, the suit remains a solid example of wartime manufacture, ideal for collectors, reenactors, or display. No visible markings remain inside, typical of well-used original garments.

Army HBT tanker/mechanic coverall is labeled as size 40R and features approximate measurements as follows: chest 44 inches (112 cm), waist 38-40 inches (96-102 cm), inseam 30-31 inches (76-79 cm), and total length from shoulder to ankle around 60-62 inches (152-157 cm). Sleeve length is approximately 24-25 inches (61-64 cm), with shoulder width around 19 inches (48 cm). What you see in the pictures is actual item you will get. (obviously except the mannequin and accessories for display).
