"Overall camouflage Amerikaanse aanmaak (Suit, One Piece, Jungle)
A one piece jungle uniform was used briefly for U.S. Army troops in the South Pacific, in late 1942 and part of 1943 after which a two piece jungle uniform was substituted. The jungle suit was reversile with a green pattern outside and a tan pattern inside, suitable for use on a beach landing (sand) or later in the jungle interior (green), typical of the Pacific campaigns.
The one piece herringbone twill camouflage univorm was developed expecially to give maximum protection against insects and thorns while permitting the wearer to cool off as rapidly as possible.
No underwear or inner garmets were used with this uniform. The long zippered opening gave abundant ventilation when skin protection was not required. It was worn loose as was the cartridge belt, suspenders ot other equipment, and canteen or other articles were carried in the pack to keep away from the body. Internal fabric suspenders created a blousing effect for cooling and also supported the weight of grenades carried in the side cargo pockets.
One design defect was the lack of a drop-seat, making it necessary to disrobe for toilet functions, thereby defeating the purpose of any insect protection. Further, it was found that HBT became very heavy and suffocating when wet, often the case in the Pacific. These and other factors brought an early end to the career of the one piece camouflage suit in 1943.
