在第二次世界大戰後期，美國海軍陸戰隊開發了 P-44 HBT 野戰服，作為服役多年的 P-41 HBT 的後繼升級版本

與傳統三口袋配置的 P-41 相比，P-44 將下襬處極易因動作磨損而破裂的外露式口袋徹底移除，並新增兩個位於胸口內側的大型暗袋，大幅提升單兵在實戰中攜行與取物的效率。同時，原本 P-41 左胸口袋的開口式設計在 P-44 上增設了袋蓋，以改善物品在劇烈活動時容易散落的通病

布料部分則延續採用美軍於二戰期間廣泛使用的 人字紋布料（Herringbone Twill, HBT）。此種布料具備優秀的耐磨性、耐拉扯性與高透氣度，非常適合濕熱、叢林與高活動量的作戰環境。更迷人的是，HBT 在染色後的布面會隨著長時間穿著而產生獨特的褪色與色落效果，呈現自然且極具古著魅力的層次變化，也是許多收藏者著迷 HBT 的重要原因之一

In the later stage of World War II, the United States Marine Corps developed the P-44 HBT utility uniform as the improved successor to the long-serving P-41 HBT set. Compared to the traditional three-pocket layout of the P-41, the P-44 eliminated the lower hem pockets—which were prone to tearing during movement—and introduced two large concealed inside-chest pockets for better functionality and easier access in the field. The original open-style left chest pocket also received an added flap, effectively preventing items from falling out during combat or intensive activity.

The fabric remained the same Herringbone Twill (HBT) widely used across U.S. military uniforms during WWII. HBT offers excellent durability, tear resistance, and breathability, making it highly suitable for tropical, humid, and high-mobility environments. Over time, the dyed HBT fabric develops a unique fading and wear pattern, producing beautiful and naturally aged color variation—one of the key reasons why vintage HBT garments are so treasured among collectors.
