Awesome Vintage Army Wool - US Army OG 108 Winter Wool Shirt & Trousers Set

Hey guys, Lucas here from Picture Surplus and today we're going to take a look at some pretty cool vintage U.S. Army cold weather clothing. So what we got here is the OG-108 wool winter uniform set. So this is like the intermediate layer and sometimes it's outer layer, which we'll go into later, that the U.S. Army wore from about 1951 until early 70s at most. So this is developed at the end of the Korean War, wasn't really implemented while the guys were in Korea and then afterwards it was a widespread issue. But it's a wool set, so you got a wool top and some wool bottoms in OG-108 colors, pretty much like OD green. And then it was used as the medium or not your outer layer for the most part, but it would go under like a hard shell or your cotton like M65 kind of jackets type deal that they had back then. So it's a pretty cool uniform, looks real neat, looks real military appearance. So for that reason, back in the day when these were issued, they used them as the actual winter uniform. So you see guys rolling around in this as their actual uniform on base, wear approved. Wasn't generally done like that, but wear approved, they could wear that. So pretty cool, we'll go into each piece from here. So from here we got the top, it's a wool nylon serge, so it's an 80% nylon, 20% nylon material. So it's got that good wool warmth, it's going to keep you warm even when wet, which is awesome. So you're going to stay warm no matter where you're wearing this and it's not overly warm either. It's a good thick wool, pretty lightweight though. So if you're wearing it around town, it's going to keep you nice warm and it looks pretty classy if you ask me. But you got two good button chest pockets, you even got a pin slot in your one on your left, on the left, and then you got nice button cuffs. If you buy these used, watch out for shrinkage because it is wool and if they weren't washed properly, they're going to shrink up a little bit. So here we got the pants to the OG-108 set. These are pretty cool and it's pretty much your standard kind of like trim pants, like slacks. Got two good hip pockets and you got back pockets with flaps and on the waist you have some tab waist adjustment right there. So if you don't fit perfectly, you can make them fit you. I also got suspender points as you can see here, this is hanging up by the suspender points. Same as the coat that I have on right now, it's a 80-20 nylon serge. So it's got 80% wool, 20% nylon. They're pretty heavy duty pants. They're nice. Again, just as classy as the top to me. So if you're looking for a nice set of like vintage style pants, these are really good to go and they're going to keep you warm. Hey guys, hope you enjoyed that video.
