Does anyone know for certain what size of US flag is on Gorman's field jacket?
It looks quite a bit larger than the one on his uniform shirt. Kind of similar to the oversized ones on the WWII Airborne D-Day jackets.

Thanks,

Russ

Bit of a thread resurrection...

Anyone know where to get these in something approaching a 15"-16" collar and without the USMC insignia? I've had a bit of a trawl but I'm struggling... Any help appreciated!

Thinking with minor modification it'd make a nice quick-n-dirty Gorman working dress shirt.

That's a WWII (or reproduction) OG 107 shirt I believe.

Try hunting through some sites that sell WWII reenactor gear and uniforms.

I should have pics of my in progress OD uniform soon.

Shirt is pretty much done, I just need to sew on velcro and patches.

Still trying to decide if I want to do the field jacket or not. Atlanta in September... hmmm...

Hey Sixty
Looks like the P1958 USMC utility shirt I posted earlier in this thread. Could be the P1956 though which had an herringbone twill.
Might help you in your search knowing those numbers.

Info found here - http://www.ljmilitaria.com/gearservices/marine_gear.htm and they have a catalog so might sell them.

you can't take the PUNK outa Spunkmeyer

Thanks guys, apparently that one is herringbone so must be the P1956!

Time for more hunting... I just need this shirt (or something similarly suitable) and I have a full working dress Gorman! Curses! :p
