Object(s) of the Day: Deadstock Denim Fatigue Uniform Assemblage

In researching the CCC Uniforms Handbook I came across a remarkable post from May 2015 in the "Denimbros" forum, in which forum member Charles DiSipio of Historic Preservation Associates, the US rep for Buzz Rickson, presents a complete denim work uniform in pristine, deadstock condition from his personal collection.

The assemblage includes the M1937 denim pullover and trousers, heavy leather gloves, underwear and socks, as well as a rare pair of russett leather garrison shoes--the lighter, lined variant of the Service Shoe issued prior to World War II. The individual items were made under a mixture of CCC and USA contracts. The assemblage was issued as a group to a US Army Air Force enlistee; however, it every item in it could have equally well been issued to a CCC enrollee.

This is as close as any of us will ever come to seeing complete, skin-out CCC work uniform in original, as-issued condition.  Visit and enjoy the complete post and detailed photographs at:
