60’s OG-107 Type 2 Sateen Baker Pants

60’s OG-107 Type 2 Sateen Baker Pants The OG-107 trousers were introduced in 1952, but to truly understand where they came from and how they would eventually be utilized, you need to go back to the 1949 Army Uniform Board where the complete overhaul of the Army’s uniforms started. The introduction of not only a new uniform but also the color OG-107 itself is an important and purposeful change from the Olive Drab color of WWII. The Army charted a new course in the Cold War and looked to define itself as a world power projecting its heavily starched Olive Green uniforms across the globe.the design of the OG-107 trousers was incredibly simple and remained nearly unchanged during its issued lifespan. The trousers and matching “jacket”—worn as a shirt—were made of 8.5oz. carded cotton sateen in the new Army standard OG-107 color. This fabric was the result of textile research conducted during the Korean War to find a more durable replacement for the WWII-era herringbone twill (HBT) but retained its light weight. The HBT uniform had started out as fatigue wear, but with the reality of modern warfare, those more casual and practical uniforms became battle dress in WWII and Korea. 15 Waist 13 front rise 12 thighs 39 Length 8.5 Hem Condition 8.5/10 Flaws: Oil stain/scratch No Refund No Exchange +shipping fee
