Original Reed Green Denim Field Tunic



This Reed Green Denim Tunic was loan by Bud O'Toole, he bought it for copy its tailoring pattern,  but he was so generous to mail it to me for copying mine pattern for tailoring his fabric into correct tunics.

This was my first close encountered to an original denim tunic, its was thick and heavy, and the color was faded into a rare light grey green, also the liner was unbelievably shiny, can't believe its was use on a military tunic.

Unlike today, I couldn't had any reference of an original items,  its a rear chance to touch it and play with it for a week, then sent back to him by insured parcel,  just appreciated for his trust.
