ORIGINAL, RARE & VG+ Cond. KHAKI Cotton Twill M1926 Officer’s Blouse & Breeches. This is an increasingly RARE, regulation M1926 khaki cotton twill uniform, worn beginning in the mid-1920’s to Army and Air Corps officers, as worn in the Philippines and the Canal Zone. The summer blouse is distinguishable from the winter version by the use of cotton twill fabric, rather than brown wool gabardine twill. The uniform was likely “bespoke”, since I was unable to find any QM tags in it. It also has four small snaps on the left shoulder (see image below), so the unit insignia, likely round in shape, could be removed for laundering. There isn’t a name tag or Army Serial Number marked in the blouse, just a partially legible laundry mark which reads RBF -. The blouse also has “pockets” on the back for the detachable Sam Browne Belt hangers (not included) in the outside seam of the waist and all of the original brass buttons, held by “split rings”, which could be removed for laundering (see images below). The actual measurements of the blouse are as follows: Chest: 18″; Sleeve Length: 24″; Shoulder Width: 16″; Waist: 15.5″ and Overall: 32.5. The waist of the riding breeches is 30″ with an additional 2″ to let out in the waist. The other measurements of the breeches are as follows: Hips: 26″; Inseam: 25″; Ankle Cuffs: 10″; and Overall: 39″. This RARE uniform is in VERY GOOD+ condition. It will be a great addition to a collection or the uniform of a reenactor who demands the very best, ready to have his rank and any additional insignia applied to it.

ORIGINAL, RARE & VG+ M1926 Air Corps Blouse, Breeches, Cap & Sam Browne Belt. This is without doubt the rarest ORIGINAL M1926 Officer’s brown gabardine “cavalry twill” uniform grouping I collected in the last 30 years. This blouse was apparently privately-tailored, as befits an Air Corps Major, as attested by the tailor’s label in the inside breast pocket (see image below). The blouse is fully-lined in golden brown cotton twill fabric and has the typical period striped lining in the sleeves and two-piece buttons of the period (see images below). The label in the inside breast pocket states it is a 40 Long. The blouse has the following actual measurements measured flat: Chest: 21″; Sleeves: 26″; Waist: 18″; Shoulders: 19″; and Overall Length: 34. As was typically the case, the insignia on the blouse is all sewn-on GOLD BULLION, rather than the pinback insignia of the period. Since this was a era when pilots flew in the Class A dress uniform, the gold bullion insignia was used in order to prevent it from getting snagged by the parachute harness webbing. The blouse is in VERY GOOD+ used condition and has a few moth nips on the elbow, collar and back of the left sleeve (see images below), but no holes, tears or other blemishes! The sides have the belt hooks present, ready to hang the officer’s “Sam Browne Belt” (37 maximum size) which came with the uniform grouping as the finishing touch! As was the fashion of the time, the pilot’s uniform grouping came with a pair of drab shade or “pink” breeches or riding pants in the usual gabardine twill “wool elastique” fabric. The breeches are in even better condition, with just one moth nip on the seat near the crotch and no holes or tears in them. The following measurements were taken from the breeches lying flat: Waist: 36″; Hips: 30″; Rise (waist to crotch): 16″ and Overall: 40″. It too was privately-tailored, but the tailor’s label is now illegible (see image below). Last, but certainly not least, is the matching brown “cavalry twill” visor cap. As was the fashion for pilots who wore headphones while flying in the cabins of aircraft not requiring a flying helmet, the “grommet” or stiffener has been removed from the cap, giving it the appearance of what came to be termed a “crush cap” during WWII. The cap has the smaller “spread eagle” cap insigne of the pre-WWII period, measuring 2 from wingtip to wingtip. The cap is also in VERY GOOD condition, but has a few moth nips on the crown of the cap toward the front and on the left side. The inside of the cap is well-marked with maker’s name (see images below). The headliner which has the maker’s label has come loose at the back, but might be glued back to the sweatband if desired. The size of the cap is approximately 7-1/8 or 22.4 in circumference (57 in a European cap size). Here’s an opportunity for the advanced Air Corps collector or reenactor to obtain one of the rarest uniform groupings in my 25+ year collection! PLEASE SCROLL DOWNWARD TO SEE THE REMAINING 43 IMAGES!
