Vintage clothing is a trend in fashion consisting in a new interest in old clothes, generally brand names or custom made garments that are typical items of an era that have a certain style and design value. The 50s era with e.g. The New Look is especially popular. This may be related to the fact that clothes were not mass produced in earlier eras.
The U.S. Army developed the M-1943 Uniform beginning in 1942. Until the introduction of this uniform, the Army had a variety of different combat uniforms for each branch of service. By 1941, the infantry wore the wool flannel shirt and wool serge trousers in winter and the cotton khaki shits and trousers in summer, often with the M-1941 (or Parson's Jacket), and wore low-quartered leather shoes. Armoured units still were using wool riding breeches and wore high-lacing boots in some cases, and the Paratroopers were stuck with a general issue HBT coverall with no real suitable footwear.
