Tom W. Posted 11 August , 2009 Share Posted 11 August , 2009 It may have depended on the commander of the unit. Based on photographic evidence enlisted men could wear entire private-purchase uniforms if they chose. I have photos of flamethrower troops, for example, wearing totally non-regulation privately tailored jackets. I assume that other units allowed their men such leeway, while other commanders may have prohibited it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
