Request: 1940's-1950's US Marine Corps Uniforms/Dungarees

[Warmaker01]

With Fallout 4, there's several uniform items that I think can be altered for a decent representation of the uniforms the USMC used for the 1940s-50's. The FO4 clothing in question:

Army Fatigues, Dirty Army Fatigues, and of course, Macready's Cap. The cap is the 8-point soft cover/cap used by the Naval Services.

 

Some tweaks to give it the vibe of the USMC from the 40s and 50s:

- Using the lighter color (USMC used a lighter color than the US Army's version of the uniform), have the USMC with Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA for short) on the right breast pocket. The EGA back then was different than today's, namely that it has the double scroll and not the single scroll of today. For reference is this picture.

In addition, if the cargo pockets on the side of the trousers can be removed since those were not on the uniform until decades later.

 

- On Macready's cap, have the EGA device on the front. This wasn't stenciled or ironed on back during WWII and Marines often attached the device there. The device back then:

An example of the cap with the device as worn by Chesty Puller. Excuse the meme but it was a quick, easy, clear image to grab with a cap and the device. The image used by the meme is flipped, because the anchor should be pointing to the lower left and not the lower right.

 

For the modder's option, you could use instead an easier route and have the EGA stencil on the cap's front panel instead of the device. It seems in the 1950s the Marines finally had the symbol stenciled on.

 

If you can drop the elastic band on Macready's cap that would be great also.

 

- Lastly, if a regular US military steel helmet used from WWII until the 1980s could be modded with the camo cover that would be outstanding. That probably would be a lot more work because the actual helmet is nothing at all like the ingame helmets which are closer to the modern US military helmets that have the obvious German inspiration.

 

Also, this page has 2 pictures pertinent to the uniform items in question, namely the first two images from the early 1950's. You get to see the uniforms in question. The 1st one has them with the soft, 8-point cover with the stencil and not the device. The 2nd shows them with the camo covered helmets, a staple of the USMC during the WWII and the 1950s.

 

P.S. - I know someone is going to nitpick... "Marines don't use the word dungarees! That's the Navy!"

 

That is incorrect. The Marine Corps used the term Dungarees for their field / work uniform.

"During the war, the word "dungarees" was the common nickname for this uniform in keeping with the nautical heritage of the Corps. Marines also frequently called the uniform simply, "utilities." It was never called "fatigues," this being an Army word."
