HBT Button Holes

[brooksbz]

Has anyone ever seen button holes like this on a HBT garment?

Thank you.

Bill,

I have not personally seen any...but I have read the comments of other collectors who have HBT garments with the "flybar" type buttonhole as opposed the the "bartack" which is what is most commonly seen. Your particular buttonhole looks well used or not quite finished. Can you show one of the buttonholes from the front flap? Thanks,

Richard

this type of button hole is not a good sign normally,
but I have seen it on very late war and guenine uniforms (dated 45)
more pics will say more..

I would post the whole tunic etc. This could be a repair job etc. It is better to see the whole tunic to figure it out.
