The US Army look of WW2- especially the officer look- is one of the most unflattering looks ever! Acres of pant emphasizing almost feminine asses and hips. Fred Mertz style waislines 6 inches above the navel- a look especially rocked by that weird man Douglas MacArthur. There's a reason the official uniform of WW2 jacket collectors is vintage jeans and an A-2 or G-1. The actual WW2 look- the complete look- is odd at best.
Child bearing hips! The men of that time had much smaller upper bodies and the Army chose to emphasize this with balloon pants!
My Dad wore this same outfit during the 50s and 60s- khaki pants and a leather jacket- a weird ass-centric look- the short jacket and balloon pants make for an oddly feminine aspect:
