By 1941, soldiers wore a wool flannel shirt and wool serge trousers in winter and a cotton khaki shirt and trousers in summer, both with ankle length russet leather service shoes and OD canvas leggings, and often with the OD cotton M-1941 Field Jacket.

The U.S. Army developed the M-1943 Uniform Ensemble manufactured in Herringbone Twill (HBT) beginning in 1942 to replace a variety of other specialist uniforms and some inadequate garments, like the OD Cotton Field Jacket.

The "Jeep cap" (Cap, Wool Knit, M-1941) remained in service until the 1950s.
