About This Work

Top: Korean War Field Officer Dress Hat, made by Morry Luxenberg. The term "field officer" refers to commissioned officers in the ranks of Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel. The dress visor cap (also known as a service cap) worn by U.S. Army field officers during the Korean War era was generally in an Olive Drab (OD) color (specifically, the "Army Green" shade often associated with the post-1954 Class A uniform, but variations from the earlier period were also used) or a Tropical Khaki for summer wear.

Bottom: An M38 Dress Blue Medical Field Grade Officer would be a medical officer in the US military, likely Army or Navy, who is wearing the 1938-pattern dress blue uniform. The term "Field Grade Officer" indicates a rank such as Major, Lieutenant Colonel, or Colonel, while the "Medical" designation specifies their corps. "M38" refers to the specific 1938 uniform regulations that were distinct from later or earlier versions of the uniform. Made by Jacob Reed & Son

Jacob Reed’s Sons was a historic, long-running men's clothing, tailoring, and haberdashery business in Philadelphia, operating from 1824 until 1983.
