Whether it was under the hood of a duce-n-half at the motor pool, under the cowling of the P-51 Mustang in the hanger, Driving a Tank in the hot sun, or whisking in the breeze while parachuting in formation, the One-pc HBT Working Suit was worn throughout the Army by many soldiers. This garment was the standard work clothing worn by mechanics of any trade and by some special troops during training. Even horse mounted cavalry at times trained in these. The low hanging crotch makes this garment very easy to wear. Combined with the durability of the HBT fabric these coveralls lasted for years. This specific style of coverall eventually was replaced with another pattern midway during WWII in a dark shade OD #7 HBT.
This style of garment incorporated two breast pockets with openings of different configurations, two side entry hidden style front hip pockets, two rear patch pockets, one side patch tool pocket, and two side openings for access into interior garments worn underneath the suit. It comes belted with an integral belt with stamped metal slide buckle, and 13-star Burst of Glory metal buttons
