1974 Dutch Army Olive Herringbone Twill Field Jacket, Royal Netherlands Army, Size 96-100

A field jacket in olive cotton herringbone twill issued to the Royal Netherlands Army, dated 1974 on its label, with removable epaulettes and a red arrow patch.

Herringbone twill is the zigzag weave armies used for work clothes. A field jacket is built for use, with nothing on it that does not have a job, which is why it looks right over a sweater and with almost any trouser. KL on the label stands for Koninklijke Landmacht, the Royal Netherlands Army, and the size is the chest measurement in centimetres.

The label reads KL, TC 26501911, 1974, BV Gebr. v.d. Kloot-Meijburg, Alphen a/d Rijn, 100% katoen (cotton), size 96-100.
