!["The Army's cold climate combat uniform developed by the Quartermaster Corps along [the] lines of the "layering" principle of body protection. The outer layer of field jacket and trousers are made from a nine-ounce cotton fabric known as five harness sateen, with excellent wind resistant and water repellant characteristics. These are are worn over regular woolen trousers and shirt. In very cold weather, a pile fabric under jacket is added for more warmth. A pile-lined cap in the sateen fabric completes the uniform. In this photograph, the soldier is wearing trigger finger shell mittens, with the trigger finger on the back, and shoepac boots with rubber feet and leather tops.
