I just bought this awesome Swiss Army tunic. What's with these metal hooks on the sides?

Is there, like, a Swiss Army rucksack system that hooks on there?

Because the Swiss army never actually fights anyone they serve a dual purpose, and that is to carry the milk of their cows down the mountains to the chocolate factories.





The hooks are so they can carry more pails of milk.
Reply:They are for carrying scalps.
Reply:It really depends on the type of service the wearer performed in the tunic. Is it a field tunic or a dress tunic?


For example, if it is a basic field tunic, there are extra loops on the shoulders, arms, and sides to attach extra foliage/camo to if needed. If it is a dress or march tunic, the hooks could be for flag-carrying equipment.





So, there is really more than one answer to your question. The best thing I can tell you is to research the type of job the original wearer performed or search the garment for a tag to get a model number that may be researched.





Good Luck!
