US Personal Items - Clothing Accessories

Leather Palm Wool Gloves
Developed in 1942, these were the standard issue winter glove for the entire War. They are made from olive drab wool and have brown leather palms to increase their service life. Our gloves are made from the correct knit wool, and include realistic spec labels.

Sizing: Like originals. 9, 11. That's basically M, or XL.
$35.00

"Paratrooper" Gloves
Actually cavalry riding gloves, these are most commonly associated with Paratroopers. Originals were made from horsehide, but it is now prohibitively expensives (the price would double). Thus, I have put the word "horsehide" in paranthases. They are leather, not horsehide. Our 100% leather reproductions are a great quality copy of the famous airborne accessory- but it's not uncommon to see troops of all branches wearing these as work gloves.

WWII US Wool Scarf
New, US Made, 100% wool reproductions of the US military issue scarf.

The $10 variety are surplus. Those are now on the closeout page. Those are green and only about half as long so you really need to tie two of them together to equal these.

There were two main variations of wool scarf issued in WWII. One was tubular in construction and the other was a thicker, one piece pattern. Our scarves are the second style. The knitting company was able to weave fabric that was very close to the original in weave and weight. The fabric is slightly coarser and about 10% thicker than the original. The color is excellent- the same mustard/ olive drab as our jeep caps. We cut and sew them here in our shop, so we also made sure that these are as long as the WWII scarf- 54" (135cm) - enough to actually wrap around your neck and tuck into your jacket.
