OG 108 Wool Shirt

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I just now bought that OG 108 wool shirt, its my first uniform in my collection, so I have some questions.

 I’d like to know, if it’s from the Korean war period. If yes, then, why the patch, „U.S. Army” is green with black text, and not black with yellow?

 Are these seams on my shirts shoulders are places of patches?

Did soldiers actually wore shoulder patches on field? I saw some pictures of Korean war soldiers, and I realised, that they usually didnt wear any.

Thanks for all the answers.

(Im from Hungary, sorry if my English is not easy to understand)
