The uniform also saw previous use/issue. You can clearly see the classic GI "overstitched" cloth repairs around the keystone patch and the clear remnants of the stitching, (and less fading) from a round shoulder patch that was once placed where the keystone patch is now. The soldier was either transferred into the 28th. from a previous assignment and brought his old blouse with him or this uniform was reissued to somebody new.

The label will contain a code, which will tell you year of manufacture, this will give you a pretty good idea of when it was first issued.
