Original Item: Only One Available: This is an example of the iconic USMC M1912 Dress Blue uniform with the rare Bell Crown service cap. All buttons are retained and everything is in fantastic condition. This model of tunic and service cap are integral for any USMC or WWI US Collection.

This is a full M1912 U.S. Marine Corps Uniform, including the M1912 dress tunic, dress breeches, and the dress Bell Crown service cap, named to Private John M. Powell, USMC. The tunic and pants are both near mint, in fantastic condition with one discharge chevron on the right sleeve. The pants are stenciled “J.M. POWELL” on the interior. The Bell Crown service cap has a full sweatband, partially ripped but still intact. The cap features a black leather brim, supported by pressed paper or fabric. The red piping trim was added when the 1912 model was patterned. The EGA is affixed to the front and is period correct with both latitude and longitude lines on the globe. The chinstrap is beautifully worn in a way that compliments the entire uniform. The cap has one or two tiny moth nips but is otherwise flawless on the exterior.

John M. Powell enlisted in the Marine Corps on December 12th, 1917, likely hoping to make it to France before the war was over. He was stationed at the Naval Ammunition Depot in New London, Connecticut for most of his time in the service.

The United States Marine Corps
The decades following the War of 1812 saw the Marines protecting American interests around the world, in the Caribbean, at the Falkland Islands, Sumatra and off the coast of West Africa, and also close to home in operations against the Seminole Indians in Florida.

During the Mexican War (1846-1848), Marines seized enemy seaports on both the Gulf and Pacific coasts. A battalion of Marines joined General Winfield Scott's army at Pueblo and fought all the way to the "Halls of Montezuma," Mexico City. Marines also served ashore and afloat in the Civil War (1861-1865). Although most service was with the Navy, a battalion fought at Bull Run and other units saw action with the blockading squadrons and at Cape Hatteras, New Orleans, Charleston, and Fort Fisher. The last third of the 19th century saw Marines making numerous landings throughout the world, especially in the Orient and in the Caribbean area.

Following the Spanish-American War (1898), in which Marines performed with valor in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, the Corps entered an era of expansion and professional development.

It saw active service in the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902), the Boxer Rebellion in China (1900). and in numerous other nations, including Nicaragua, Panama, Cuba, Mexico, and Haiti.

Between 1900 and 1916, the Marine Corps continued its record of participation in foreign expeditions, especially in the Caribbean and Central and South America, which included Panama, Cuba, Veracruz, Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua.

Great suit, but size up
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This set comes with a jacket, pants, extra buttons, and a bow tie with an easy clip to remove it. The suit itself is really nice and I love the pattern, however, I thought I purchased a XXL, but seemed to have ordered a L instead. Not quite sure how that happened, but suffice to say, he could not fit the suit. He is normally an L in pants, so based on the fit, we would have needed to size up anyways. He couldn't fit his leg in the pants or his arm in the jacket. I automatically size up on items like this because you can take clothes in, but can't take them out if there is not enough cloth. The suit pants are not lined, but you can see that they did leave room for the legs to be let out. Perhaps if we have the pants let out, he would be able to wear the pants. The jacket is fully lined and it comes with two inside pockets, one can be buttoned. I cannot tell if the jacket has room for alterations, but I might have him fitted for it just to see. It comes with a slit on the back of the jacket, so it has that going for it from a quality standpoint. It does come folded so you have iron or dry clean it before wearing. The quality is good for the most part. There are some threads coming out of the bow tie, but that's all I seen that is less the good. I'm giving it four star based solo on it's look and feel. Of course, I can't comment on the fit. For around $80, I definitely think it's worth checking out for a school semi-formal or fancy dinner out. It might be a little lightweight for a higher end event. Did I say I love the pattern?

Stylish look and great value for special occasions
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
This suit looks really good in person. The pattern adds a nice touch that makes it stand out without looking too flashy. It is a great option for events like weddings, parties, or prom where you want something a bit different from a basic suit. The fit is slim and modern, giving a clean and sharp look when worn. It feels comfortable enough for a few hours, and the overall shape looks more tailored than expected for the price. The jacket sits well, and the pants match nicely to complete the set. The material is lightweight and decent for occasional use. It does not feel like a premium suit, but it looks good and photographs well, which is what matters for events. The bow tie included is a nice extra and helps complete the outfit without needing to buy more pieces. It may need a quick steam or ironing out of the package to look its best. Also, checking the size chart is important to get the right fit. For the price, this is a very good value. You get a full outfit that looks stylish and put together without spending too much. Great option if you need something affordable for special occasions.

Stylish Statement Suit for the Price
Size: Medium, Color: Gold - Embroidery, Size: Medium, Color: Gold - Embroidery
I really like the black with gold embroidery on this suit - it really will make you stand out. The gold does have a slight green tint to it in certain lighting, but overall I like the unique design and think it looks great. The pants have some flexibility, which made them more comfortable than I expected. I got a Medium - and im usually a 32W. I could see it fitting a 30W or34W too. It arrived in great shape and was not wrinkled at all, though i'm likely going to have to hem the pants 1-2 inches. The pants are neutral and could be worn with other black jackets. I am usually a size 42 bust in jackets, and while the size chart says medium is a 44 bust, i think this fits me like a glove. It also came with a bow tie, which is a nice added bonus. Overall, I think this is a great deal for the price and a solid choice for anyone looking for a versatile standout suit for a formal event or a costume party.
