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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove all, what makes this particular piece so special \u003cstrong\u003eis that it retains a strong sense of its original, worn condition from that era\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the chest are an \u0026ldquo;AGUIAR\u0026rdquo; name tape and a \u0026ldquo;U.S. ARMY\u0026rdquo; tape.Above them is a patch that appears to be a qualification badge, while both sleeves bear rank insignia, and the 25th Infantry Division\u0026rsquo;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\u0026mdash;it carries the authentic weight of a uniform actually worn by a soldier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit is famous for its appearance in the movie \u0026ldquo;Platoon.\u0026rdquo;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25th Infantry Division, known by the nickname \u0026ldquo;Tropic Lightning,\u0026rdquo; was one of the U.S. Army\u0026rsquo;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\u0026rsquo;s patch vividly evokes the era in which this jacket was worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Used.

This is a particularly appealing size for those who want to wear vintage jungle fatigues with a modern fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile jungle fatigues with patches do exist, a piece like this\u0026mdash;featuring the 1967 contract 3rd Model, poplin fabric, the 25th Infantry Division insignia, and even the original patches and signs of actual use\u0026mdash;is far more than just an \u0026ldquo;old military jacket.\u0026rdquo;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt\u0026rsquo;s cool precisely because it\u0026rsquo;s not too pristine.
