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.

Adorable, Complete Set—Great for Special Occasions
Color: Beige, Size: 12, Color: Beige, Size: 12
This suit set is such a great find! It comes with everything you need—jacket, pants, shirt, tie, and bow tie—which makes getting a dressed-up look so easy. It's excellent quality for a suit in this price range. The linen fabric gives it a nice, lightweight feel and a polished look that works well for both formal and semi-casual events. My son looked adorable in it, and it was perfect for the spring wedding we attended. What I love: Complete 5-piece set—no need to buy extras Lightweight and comfortable material Classic, stylish look with nice details (lapel, pockets, etc.) Adjustable waistband is super helpful for fit Versatile for weddings, holidays, and other events Fit was true to size based on the chart, but I agree with the recommendation—if your child is between sizes or growing quickly, sizing up is a good idea. I sized up with the hopes that he can wear it again for another event because it looks fantastic! Overall, a really cute and practical suit set that looks great without being uncomfortable. Perfect for any special event

Boys’ 5‑Piece Linen Suit Set
Color: Beige, Size: 16, Color: Beige, Size: 16
I ordered this 5‑piece linen suit in size 16 in the beige color. The set includes the jacket, pants, dress shirt, bow tie, and a slip‑on tie. The outer fabric is a blend of 70% polyester, 25% linen, and 5% spandex, and the lining is 100% polyester. The material is lightweight, which works well for warm‑weather events, but the pants are noticeably thinner than the jacket. The jacket feels sturdier because of the full lining. The jacket has a peak lapel, flap pockets, and cuff buttons, and the stitching and seams are tight and even. I did notice a few loose threads, but the fabric itself was smooth with no tears or flaws. The pants have an adjustable waistband, which is helpful, but the length was too long and will need to be tailored. The overall cut of the suit seems designed for children on the thinner side. The shirt included in my set was a pleated style rather than a plain dress shirt. It wasn’t the style shown in the product photos, and I would have preferred a standard shirt that could be worn for various occasions rather than a very formal shirt. The tie is a pre‑tied slip‑on style with an elastic band. I would have preferred a traditional tie instead. The suit arrived in good condition with no damage, and the color was even throughout all pieces. The price is on the higher end for similar 5‑piece sets. I rated it 4 stars because the jacket is well made and the set includes all the expected pieces, but the thin pants, unexpected pleated shirt, and slip‑on tie kept it from being perfect.

Adorable and Well‑Made Outfit for Special Events
Color: Light Blue, Size: 10, Color: Light Blue, Size: 10
Got this suit set for my son and absolutely love it. It comes with everything he needs to look sharp, and I really appreciate that it includes both a tie and a bow tie so we can switch up the style depending on the occasion. The quality is impressive for the price — the fabric feels light and comfortable, and the whole outfit has a polished look without being stiff or uncomfortable. The fit was spot on, and the adjustable waistband is a huge help for getting it just right. My son looked great in it, and it’s definitely something he can wear for more than one event. The little details on the jacket and pants give it a classic, dressed‑up feel that works for weddings, holidays, or any special moment. Overall, it’s a stylish, practical set that makes getting him ready so much easier. Really happy with this purchase.

Boys linen fabric suit
Color: Light Green, Size: 16
Boys suit set in a lighter green color. This suit is made with good proportions and seems to fit well. The sizing seems slightly big so maybe size down one size. The fabric does wrinkle easily so be aware that sitting and folding the suit may cause wrinkling. Otherwise it is a very nice suit for a formal occasion. It comes in many good colors.

Nice elegant suit for any occasion.
Color: Light Blue, Size: 12, Color: Light Blue, Size: 12
The suit set is very nice, the fabric material is durable and soft. Overall stitching is tight with nice surging of the hems and great construction on the shoulders. Buttons and button wholes are well done. I'm going to iron in the creases on the front of the pants because they weren't folded properly for shipping. The material does hold on to wrinkles so don't be afraid of your iron to get a super sharp look. The color is a soft baby blue that stands out in a crowd of black suits. With the option of an elastic tie or clip on bowtie this is everything you need to make him look presentable for a variety of occasions. My only complaint about this suit kit is the dress shirt is stiff and thin. I found some loose threads that I don't trust to not get played with. I'll probably trade it out for something with a little more cotton. As far as cost goes mid range, but definitely worth the cost. I might consider something with a vest if it's a super formal event, but I'm very happy with how this suit comes together.
