Signed in 1967, U.S. Army 3rd Model Jungle Fatigue Jacket.
The size is SMALL-SHORT, which is appealing for both its rarity and how well it fits. This is a wonderful jacket that perfectly captures the atmosphere of that era.

The inner label bears the markings “COAT, MAN’S, COTTON, WIND RESISTANT POPLIN, OLIVE GREEN, ARMY SHADE 107” and “DSA 100-67-C-3214,” confirming this is an authentic U.S. Army item from the 1967 contract.The fabric is 100% cotton wind-resistant poplin.

This is the highly sought-after 3rd Model among jungle fatigues. While it features four large, diagonally placed pockets, it uses smooth cotton poplin fabric rather than the ripstop fabric adopted in the later 4th Model. Its appeal lies in the details characteristic of Vietnam War-era jungle fatigues and the soft, worn-in appearance unique to well-worn poplin.

Above all, what makes this particular piece so special is that it retains a strong sense of its original, worn condition from that era.

On the chest are an “AGUIAR” name tape and a “U.S. ARMY” tape.Above them is a patch that appears to be a qualification badge, while both sleeves bear rank insignia, and the 25th Infantry Division’s SSI is sewn onto one sleeve. All of these patches are said to be original to the period, giving this piece more than just vintage appeal—it carries the authentic weight of a uniform actually worn by a soldier.

This unit is famous for its appearance in the movie “Platoon.”

 

The 25th Infantry Division, known by the nickname “Tropic Lightning,” was one of the U.S. Army’s flagship divisions during the Vietnam War, having been fully deployed there from the mid-1960s onward.The combination of the 3rd Model jacket from the 1967 contract and the division’s patch vividly evokes the era in which this jacket was worn.

Condition: Used. There is overall fading, signs of wear, and stains; stains on the back appear to be from actual use. There are also ink stains around the pen pocket.

However, for this particular piece, it’s fair to say that these very elements are its greatest charm.

The fading of the poplin fabric, the faded patch, the wear marks along the seams, and the traces of ink—this jacket bears the very essence of the time it spent in actual military service, something replicas or altered pieces could never fully capture. It offers a completely different experience from pristine deadstock and is a wonderful piece for enjoying a Vietnam War-era jungle fatigues jacket.

Furthermore, the size is SMALL-SHORT. The tag specifies CHEST 33–37 inches and HEIGHT UP TO 67 inches. This is a particularly appealing size for those who want to wear vintage jungle fatigues with a modern fit.

While jungle fatigues with patches do exist, a piece like this—featuring the 1967 contract 3rd Model, poplin fabric, the 25th Infantry Division insignia, and even the original patches and signs of actual use—is far more than just an “old military jacket.”

It’s cool precisely because it’s not too pristine. This is a piece we hope you’ll enjoy for the authenticity of having been used as a military uniform on the battlefield during the Vietnam War.


Condition: Used / Shows fading, signs of wear, stains, ink marks, etc. The patches are the original ones from that era.
