The offered U.S. Army World War II uniform was worn on screen by Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and it includes the military shirt, pants and canvas boot covers. Jackman wore the outfit in the WW II scene in the opening montage of the film which shows Wolverine and Sabretooth (played by Liev Schreiber) fighting in every major U.S. war since the 19th Century. Jackman is seen leaving his troop transport and storming the beaches at Normandy wearing the offered ensemble. The clothing was produced for the film by Western Costume Company, and their stampings and tagging are on the shirt and pants. The shirt's "Western Costume Co." tag reads "LOGAN, H. Jackson, Hero-1," and pants tag reads "LOGAN HERO-1." The pants also have the "Western Costume Co." stamping and UPC sticker on the interior of the waste band. "HERO" is a film industry term that indicates a costume or prop is detailed enough for closeup use and/or that it will be used as the main costume for a character. The costume is accompanied by a detailed letter of authenticity from The Golden Closet, which reads:
