Another surprise package arrives from our friends at Prop Store! This time, it's a pair of screen-used World War II solider uniforms from the HBO show The Pacific. Adam and Norm examine the costumes and discuss the ways they're weathered and distressed to simulate combat wear and tear for filming. And of course, we can't resist trying the costumes on!

If I may brag for just a second..... I once got to wear a very similar dress outfit, in an episode of The History Channels "Air Aces" I landed a role in... Going through the costume truck with the dressers was actually more fun than shooting the scene.... And shooting the scene was VERY fun... getting to improvise my own lines allowed me to sneak in a favourite quote, "Harry, you old seven times a son-of-a-gun!" A good costume can often improve, even the best performance. Cheers!

Mr Duke Silver I know it sucks

[@maxwellhohensee9787]

The P41 is THE USMC jacket.

[@raider_militaria]

Its kind of a shit uniform to be honest. The uniform wouldve been seen on guadalcanal. The dress shirt was seen at the same time the P41 was seen. After guadalcanal men were wearing the P41 or P42 uniforms. The shirt was no longer being used in the field. The uniform is okay historically but the gear makes it look like shit. They gave him mid to late war gear with an early war uniform. Had they given him a P41 jacket it would be much better.

[@roberthudson1959]

[@briansabo2348]

He's got the leggings or gaitors on backwards the lacing goes on the outside not the inside of the leg.

[@mjsimons9757]

These uniforms are great. So that got me wondering. So after a bit of searching the interwebs and looking thru a buttload of WWII books I have, I think I figgered' it out. Adam is wearing a US Marine Summer Service Uniform. Worn by enlisted men and officers alike. The only variations were Lapel pins to designate an officers rank or arm patches for enlisted and noncoms. Khakis were authorized as the working uniform, (sorry Adam not a dress uniform) and also for leave and liberty. I have a few pics of officers wearing combat ribbons. I have also seen pic wearing Parachute Badge, but it's not an area II've looked at before. Norm is wearing a combination; summer service shirt with dungaree trousers. A cooler (wearing ) variation of the utility uniform which was made of heavy sage green cotton herringbone twill. Head gear available for Adam would be a "barracks cover" ( the flat topped dressy cover) or the "garrison cap" (also called the "pisscutter."). Suspenders and a rifle cartridge belt. I'm thrown however by the canteen. The Cover is a cross flap type, but I'm not sure of the canteen itself. My screenshot shows a metal cap. All the pictures I have and the canteens I see online have a black plastic cap. The same type I was issued in the US Army in 1975. IDK. Leather Field shoes and leggings, nice. Adam's SSU Would wear a pair of brown Cordovan Service Shoes. The "backpack" looks like a post Okinawa type Haversack. Although it could be an Officer's Canvas Field Bag. Prior to Okinawa these were mustard colored, but the USMC did use up the older (mustard colored) gear well into Korea. This is nice stuff. I'm jealous.

[@TacoSpock]

If I'm not mistaken the canteen is a replica of the early issue types before they had the plastic (probably "bakelite") caps. Strangely enough after WWII these were made with the metal caps in.. Japan! As a kid in the mid 70's my dad took me to a surplus store that had a big batch of WWII items still in stock. I had an M1 helmet and liner, web belt, canteen, etc. Wish I still had that stuff...

[@MrDukeSilverr]

Norm is missing the HBT P-41 jacket

[@kerbalaerospacelabs3445]

TheMichaelJ Show the canteen cover is known as a “dog-eared” cover and is specific to the Marines in WWII. The pack is the P1941 Haversack, used only by the Marines and was introduced mid war to replace the M1928 Haversack that both them and the Army were using at the time. Attached is the M1910 E-Tool (shovel) with its cover, and what looks like either a shelter half or bedroll, or both. The cartridge belt is an M1923. The M1910 canteens vary and I can’t say which type it was because I couldn’t get a good look. The suspenders I believe are an early M1936 type but I could be mistaken on that.

[@Adamsnadler214]

Leggins for the Americans, gaiters for the British

[@Timeno20]

What are gators? I'm sorry, english is not my first lenguage and i can't find a definition for it anywhere

[@thatplayerjames1817]

Timenos gaiters are used to keep mud and stuff off the bottom half of your legs (your shins). They are often used for tramping. Because if you walk through a big pile of mud your legs are going to get really dirty.

[@maxwellhohensee9787]

The US Army used gaiters on their combat shoes until they were issued the M1943 combat boots.

[@WollongongWacko]

[@aage3060]

Among WW2 participants American Uniform looks the most comfortable and functional. I'd say it is the best uniform of WW2.

[@raider_militaria]

I do agree with comfort and function. We for sure dont win in the looks department compared to the German uniforms.

[@aage3060]

@@raider_militaria to me comfortableness equals to beauty!

[@ryand.3858]

@@raider_militaria agreed. It looks pretty plain compared to its German counterpart for sure. However I do think the parsons and tanker jackets look really good.

[@RFC3514]

When did these videos go from "Adam shows us how to _make_ something" to "Adam show off some expensive props that he can afford"...? I realise Tested needs to release videos to make money, but this is just twisting all the reasons that made it (and Adam's videos, specifically) successful in the first place. I mean, there's nothing wrong with showing other people's work, but either show those people doing the work, or at least show Adam reproducing some of the techniques.

[@LordSadCat]

They are kinda cheap for the quality of what they look like. A lot I seen were 200-300$ for a full set.

[@RFC3514]

***** I don't have "a problem", either. No one forces me to watch them, and both Adam and the Tested guys are obviously free to do whatever they want. But I'd much rather see Adam actually _making_ stuff (or demonstrating some techniques). And these "showoff" videos seem to have been gradually _replacing_ those other ones. _Anyone_ with a decent bank account can buy movie props and show them off. Having access to Adam and just doing that (instead of showing the things he can _do_, and the skills that make him different from other people) is a waste.

[@ahmedjaber86]

While I could write a book of jokes, japes, and jabs regarding Tested's producing some of the most unabashedly First World content I've ever seen, I don't mind watching Adam (or Will, or Norm) show off his new toys. That's kind of what Tested is all about: a bunch of enthusiasts being enthusiastic about the things that enthuse them. The guys at Tested are into DIY projects, but that's just one thing on their list of interests. As someone with a list of hobbies that includes astrophotography, 3D printing, aviation, consumer tech, CAD, PC gaming, inventing, and piano, I can totally understand why Tested chooses not to specialize in any one thing-- it's simply irresponsible to ignore all of the awesome stuff in our world. One last thing to bear in mind: if a project is worth the cost/effort of producing a series of videos, it has to be big, complex, and interesting. As we all know, however, those ambitious DIY builds are the ones we never have enough time or energy to start.

[@thomasbrown5405]

Please keep doing these videos. My favorite part is when you describe the weathering methods that you or others use. I like to build props in my spare time and weathering is always the best part. I'm always looking for new techniques. Thanks guys!

[@saltysteel3996]

I know it's too late to win that book as I am a Star Wars fan, but the prop uniforms are pretty cool. I served 5 years in the Marines and my grandfather fought in WWII out in the Pacific in the Army. He was in the Philippines, New Guinea, and went into Hiroshima a few days after the bomb was dropped on it. He has pictures of himself in the leveled town surrounded by several children that survived the blast. They rescued the survivors and gave them medical treatment. The whole time no one knew about the radiation but he saw scientist in white suits going around doing test and no one knew why they were doing that until later. He eventually suffered from skin cancer that was treated but he passed away in his early 90's from Alzheimer's disease.

[@CptArmarlio]

Norm has the best job ever! Also; Will wielding an axe behind camera I was interesting.

[@WWIIman1942]

OK on these comments I've seen a lot of bullshit. They're called leggings. Gaiters are a shortened version of the leggings that were worn by GIs in WWII but those are leggings. Gaiters were also worn by Germans in WWII. Putties are a long piece of fabric that was wrapped around the calves and used by the British and Japanese in WWII.

[@kasrkin45]

+WWIIman1942 Putties were not used by the British in WW2. They used them in the First World War, gaiters were used by the British & Canadian forces in the Second World War. But yes, It annoys me when people call the dismounted leggings gaiters!

[@DriveCancelDC]

I was so hyped for The Pacific after Band of Brothers. Then I was disappointed, nowhere near as good.

[@SamuelLJacksonsFish]

I felt that way at first, but then I realized it was just different. It wasn't really supposed to be the same as Band of Brothers.

[@xx1simon1xx]

i thought it did a much better job to show the change a person goes through when objected to the horror of war, i wouldnt say i liked it more then band of brothers but at least just as much

[@DriveCancelDC]

My problem with it was I didn't like any of the characters but in BoB I thought they were a great bunch with really good chemistry between the actors!

[@Habbopingvinen]

DriveCancelled The same for me. I really missed the great relations between the soldiers in The Pacific. It just felt empty in a way.

[@mrLiamnicholson]

It really wasn't as good no, but I think they're also entirely different. The Pacific was very clearly about the mental effects of war on its soldiers and as such was a much more difficult show to 'enjoy', even showing some of the american soldiers being pretty awful too. Whereas BoB was obviously a more 'heroic' stance on the allies efforts in more well known part of the war. They were two very different conflicts, so the shows did feel a lot different from one another. Rewatching The Pacific made me understand it a lot more and appreciate it, but again I really don't enjoy it anywhere near as much as BoB.

[@MattGilbert]

I love the pure joy Adam is able to convey when he opens this stuff for the first time.

[@walterwoods]

I love how much detail they put into these.

[@Gribbo9999]

The "leggings " are called "puttees". Well in the British army anyway. A puttee, also spelled puttie, is the name, adapted from the Hindi patti, bandage for a covering for the lower part of the leg from the ankle to the knee. I think the yanks may call them "gaitors".

[@jerrybrewer7741]

+Gribbo9999 gaiters

[@Boatsnhoes420]

+Gribbo9999 They are leggings. The Puttees are wrap on versions used by the Japanese in WWII and most countries during WWI. The Gaitors are used by the German and Commonwealth forces and they are smaller and less hard to put on (Trust me I have experience with Puttees, Gaitors and Leggings.) Leggings are hard and were used by leggings during WWII, WWI and Korea.

[@RestingScotFace]

+Reenactor “Stretch” 1943 THANK YOU! Hahahah I was head banging my head in the wall! Americans used Puttees in WW1 but Gaitors/leggins were designed so the boot length could be cut down to save on leather. I have a few originals in the boxes of junk we pull out of the tanks at my job when we restore them.

[@kerbalaerospacelabs3445]

Gribbo9999 leggings are more akin to spats, he is wearing leggings. Putties are a leg wrap and wool in the context of WWI. and not what is shown. The US military only used putties in WWI, and that was after ditching leggings. The British military also didn’t wear putties in WWII, they wore gaiters, just like the Germans later in the war.

[@guzzieleo]

Maarten v D Used to keep mud and stones out of your boots. As well as minor protection from snake bites etc.

[@caper2x]

gus111 Does anyone knows when the Marines transition to combat boots. I know that they were still using leggings or gators in Korea. As Chinese troops were told not fight those soldiers with the yellow leggings. The necktie is called field scarf on WWII Marine lingo.

[@guzzieleo]

caper2x It looks like it can be situation dependent thing, (similar to how you have different uniforms for different Climates) but from what I have read up on (please correct me if I am wrong!). It looks like it could have been that combat boots were widely used in Vietnam. It would make sense, since trudging in deep mud would totally negate the use of gaiters. As I said someone correct me if im wrong. :)

[@dylanvestige9935]

gus111 Leggins were standard issue till after the Korean Conflict. A lot of WWII gear and equipage was used in Korea. You are correct we changed over to combat boots with the higher leather uppers like Corcoran boots.

[@djokawari1]

bloodraven1312 They didn't put Asians in concentration camps. Get your facts straight, idiot. They put Japanese-Americans and German-Americans in concentration camps. Look it up. It has been estimated that between 12,000 and 20,000 Chinese American men, representing up to 22 percent of the men in their portion of the U.S. population, served during World War II. Approximately 142,000 Filipinos served during World War II.

[@mattorama]

Gaiters are garments worn over the shoe and lower pants leg, and used primarily as personal protective equipment; similar garments used primarily for display are spats. Originally, gaiters were made of leather. Today, gaiters for walking are commonly made of plasticized synthetic cloth such as polyester. Gaiters for use on horseback continue to be made of leather.

I love how their eyes open with wonder and amazement when dealing with high production value costumes.

[@sk84lifejose1]

Thank you so much for these videos on costumes/ cosplay, I love them so much. Please continue!!!

[@WilliamBlakers]

You are both part of the greatest generation. Those who seek to educate the world. love the videos you guys(and gals) post.

Ah man winning that costume book signed by Adam would just be the greatest thing ever!

[@Njubish]

I love how Norm laughs thinking Adam is joking about the starch styrofoam, but realizes he is dead serious. Only Adam knows stuff like that. I'd love costume book!

[@Pancakes1121]

Really cool costumes. That book looks amazing, perfect to have on a coffee table for people to look through it and talk.

dear tested crew, just FYI the uniform norm i s wearing is not the battle uniform that marines in the pacific WWII wore, he has the correct trousers on but not top. the top he is wearing is the marine khaki shirt which Adam is wearing correctly in the class B uniform style. the jacket Norm should be wearing is either the p41 HBT uniform jacket with the the M41 field jacket or alone, or the p42 camouflage jacket. you are right by calling them Leggings and the "shoes" are called Boon dockers. your pack is called the 782 pack. not trying to be snobby just commenting. loved all your work with mithbusters

You guys have so much fun doing this kind of stuff all of the time. I soooo wish I had a job like you guys do. Thanks for sharing this stuff, it's always fun to watch and see.

Dude, not only does this make me happy as prop loving guy, as a REENACTOR this makes me happy!

[@mattdilalla1338]

Excellent look at those costumes and great teaser for the Star Wars book!

[@jongump4129]

Love the costumes! Thanks for the heads up on The Prop Store!

[@mrscary3105]

WOW, loved the props! Norm did look great!

[@zimmy1958]

I loved the way you shared the costumes from WWII so cool I would love the book :)

The gators or spats were wore in the opposite leg. The laces should be facing outwards.

Great looking uniforms. I still have my Navy dress blues from back in the day when I had a 32" waist. There is no way I could get back into those.

[@jeffd8465]

those costumes look great and whoever get's that book would be so incredibly lucky!

[@lrdstrahd1]

Awesome! I love the detail they put into each piece. I definitely have to check out that supplier.

[@SpiritofWildWings]

Fantastic guys! And yes, I would love to have that signed book as well. I always look forward to your episodes.
