Features:

• 1951 Wool OG 108 Field Uniforms – During the Korean War the US Army developed the OG 108 wool/nylon field uniform to replace the previous versions of the cold weather wool uniform, though it would not see wide spread use till after the war. This new uniform was not intended as a stand alone uniform but due to its overall appearance some commanders authorized it as a winter uniform. The uniform was not built for field use as an outer layer as the wool material would not keep its insulating features when overly dirty or stretched out. Intended use was as a layer under the M1951 trouser shells and jacket.
