    Another shot showing the construction underneath the tunic collar. You can clearly see the heavier weave of HBT dot camo material used to reinforce the collar.

    Also note how the printing registration is off on the bottom edge of the lighter green colored dots. It's interesting to see the white HBT material with no color to it.

      Close up shot of the HBT material with the heavier or thicker type weave.
      This material is commonly used to reinforce the tunic collar, however it is also used to make whole tunics as well.

        Close up shot showing the HBT material with a lighter or thinner type weave.

        It's interesting to point out how the colored inks absorb into the white thread. The colors seem to be strongest in one thread of the weave pattern while the other thread still retains some of the original white.

          Interior of the tunic showing ink stamp size markings.
          Note how the camo pattern bleeds through to the reverse side of the HBT material.

            Slightly closer view of the markings which also shows the detail of the material and how it is weaved together. It is important to study this because the weave of this material has very unique characteristics. Especially when compared side by side up close to reproduction HBT dot camo made today.

            I will eventually create a new thread which will solely focus on HBT dot camo material and how to tell the difference from original and reproduction.

              Notice how the threads for the HBT material are interwoven.
              There is a very distinct pattern to the way wartime HBT material was woven together.
              If you know the tell tale signs of what to look for you will be able to ID a fake in seconds no material how nicely it is sewn together and aged.

                The first aid pouch located on the bottom right side of the tunic.
                The pouch is designed to hold inside one first aid gauze bandage.

                  Pocket for the first aid bandage. The material used to make this pocket is the same used for the cuffs and the liner to the four front pocket flaps.

                              Close up showing the edge of the camouflage side of the HBT material.

                              Note how the edge of the HBT material is secured with a completely
                              different type of thread then what is used to make the HBT material.

                                You can really see the heavier bleached thread used to seal off the weave of the material.
