Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is an excellent example of a 90th Infantry Division, 360th Infantry Regiment wool tunic. The best features of the tunic are the 90th Infantry Division shoulder sleeve insignia and the “trench mortar” specialty patch beneath it. The division insignia consists of a monogrammatic red "T" and "O" on a square olive drab background. It was adopted by the 90th Division during World War I because most of its original personnel were drafted from Texas and Oklahoma. The introduction of the trench mortar sleeve insignia was part of a broader trend within the American Army to recognize the contributions of specialized units during WWI.
The wool uniform itself is in wonderful condition and exhibits minor wear and virtually no moth nips. This was more than likely a uniform that was worn during the Occupation or on the way home. The left shoulder features a lovely TO “Tough Ombres” insignia. The insignia itself is beautiful and still completely attached. The chevrons present are a single red discharge stripe on the left sleeve and one inverted overseas chevron on the lower left cuff denoting 6 months of overseas service, both sets still completely attached and in wonderful condition.
A lovely uniform ready for further research and display.
