On the "second pattern" jackets and trousers, the QMC allowed the manufacturers a choice on how to construct the pockets. They could make them plain front, with an expandable gusset on the outer edge, or sew the edges flat while having a 1" pleat in the center of the pocket. Some enthusiasts have christened HBT uniforms made in the latter style as "3rd pattern" or "Korean War". Neither is true. The pleated pockets were used on both sage green and OD7 uniforms, and the spec labels show production ranging for the entire period (1943-45).

I purchased a piece of American history and now I wear it with pride. The M65 is even nicer than I expected. The order arrived on time in Italy. Now I'm thinking about the M51 and some shirts. Watch out for sizes! For example, American Large in Europe is a Medium. Greetings from Bari, Italy.
