My first GI Joe had a beautifully made orange jumpsuit with the gusseted back, straight cuffs and no waist tabs or elastic. I have two a bit like that now, but both have thinner fabric than I recall and one is oddly oversized. (Looks decent on a MB with the sleeves rolled up the forearm.) The second one has worn elastic at the waist, thin fabric and is faded - but fits well. Both are Japan. The original one I had (and lost) had thicker fabric and a really tailored fit on 1964 body; would that have been a Hong Kong, another Japan with different cloth, or is it impossible to say?
I ask because I want to buy another one like the one I had on that first Joe, and so far I have ended up with a variety with thin fabric, odd fits or no gussets. Any buying guidance when trolling ads?
