Only One Available. This is a very well-worn and tattered “Type I” OG-107 Utility Shirt, worn by a Lieutenant Colonel in the 1st Field Force as indicated by the patch to the left shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe uniform set itself is a “Type I” which was worn from 1952 to 1963. The first \"Type I\" model was introduced in 1952 and remained virtually unchanged through its 10-year production run. The shirt features a sleeve with no true cuff or buttons; it was simply a straight sleeve with a simple hem at the cuff. The shirt's two chest pockets and the trousers rear two pockets had a rectangular pocket flap that buttoned. The buttons were a \"dished\" style and most of the 1950s production were a dark brown color like this one while the majority of the 1960s production were dark green. The trousers also had a simple adjustment tab on the waist that could be buttoned. The shirt and trousers were also sized in groups (Small, Medium, Large, etc.) This model was replaced in April 1963 when specifications came out for the second model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shirt has a US Army nametape and “SMITH” last name tape, a theater-made 1st Field Force patch on the left shoulder, and a 2nd Infantry Division patch on the right shoulder.
