Khaki cotton tunic with M1885 brass eagle buttons, standing collar and pleated chest pockets with buttonless flaps. During the Spanish-American War, American troops in the Philippines found themselves short of tropical clothing. Shortages were initially made up with locally made uniforms and British pattern uniforms made in Hong Kong, of which this tunic is an example, until US made clothing could be supplied. A scarce variation due to the limited and early issue of this pattern. Condition: Good condition. Minor stains on the rear skirt.
