GIZEMO made this ARMY HBT jacket, specifications Q.M.C. Tent. Spec. P.Q.D. No.45D,
According to the label display The date of issue of the specification was March 12, 1943, and the date of order was May 3, 1944.

The first generation of HBT jacket specifications number is PQD45, subsequent iterations have PQD45A, 45B, 45C, 45D, 45E. This HBT jacket was made in '43, so it is commonly known as the P43 (Pattern 1943).
The P43's more obvious features are two large rectangular pockets in the front, with square pockets with pleats in the middle and flat pockets.
Fabric HBT the fishbone weave is different from the P41, the color is OD color, and the ARMY cooks black 13-star metal buttons. ARMY HBT jackets, starting with the PQD45C, added a windshield on the inside, left side of the door, called Gas flap (gas flap) in the archives, to improve defense against toxic gases, as reflected in this PQD45D.


HBT is an abbreviation of HERRINGBONE-TWILL (later referred to as HBT), which translates to herring bone twill. As its name implies, the pattern of this weave is similar to that of a fish bone, with the "V" superimposed, and the two adjacent columns in opposite directions (there are also similar weaves, which will be discussed later) are also translated as "herringbone". HBT's origins date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1908, when tannins were issued as overalls, the fabrics used at that time were mostly tannins and cotton fabrics, and on April 3, 1941, the ARMY finalized the new HBT, which was widely used in overalls and uniforms.
The design and construction of this cloth make it wear resistant and durable, suitable for wearing in outdoor working environments. HBT clothing has been widely used and has become one of the common uniforms due to its durable, breathable and comfortable characteristics.

The top and bottom of the P43 produced by GIZEMO are restored according to the original model and details. By disassembling the fabric of the original collection and analyzing the weaving method, it is different from the fishbone weaving method of P41. We use supima long-staple cotton made in the United States to spin, and the high-quality cotton ensures the softness of the fabric after aging. The metal button is specially made in accordance with the style of the year, the classic boiled black 13-star metal button, GIZEMO's P43 will have a natural aging sense after a period of use
