Warehouse & Co. - Lot 2186 - Army Denim Coverall - Indigo Denim

 This Army Denim Coverall is basically the jacket version of the pullover used by the military. It was a uniform setup for miscellaneous work used by the US Army until the 1930s. During World War II, the U.S. Army had already used OD green herringbone twill for BDU and workwear, which is highly antitoxic and can be used as a protective color. So it was officially adopted in the 1940s. This is more what people are used to seeing, but if you find pictures from this time period you'll see members of the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC) wearing denim. These originals were built to be roomier for movement, but you also saw military members and POW's modifying them by cutting them down the front (that's where this came from). It was very short-lived as the use of denim was soon discontinued by the goverment. This is a very rare piece of American History reproduction.
