It is an authentic, well-worn piece with outstanding character, featuring name tags, U.S. ARMY tape, and SSI markings that tell the story of its original wearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the instruction label, the official name is \u0026ldquo;COAT, MAN\u0026rsquo;S, COMBAT, TROPICAL, RIP STOP.\u0026rdquo;\u003cstrong\u003eThe contract number is\u003c\/strong\u003e DSA-100-68-C-0832, and the manufacturer is \u003cstrong\u003eBURGESS MFG.

Its highly functional design\u0026mdash;featuring lightweight cotton ripstop fabric intended for use in tropical regions, large diagonal chest pockets, and cargo pockets at the waist\u0026mdash;has had a significant influence on modern military wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat\u0026rsquo;s particularly noteworthy about this specific piece is that \u003cstrong\u003eit still retains the original patches from that era\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the chest are the wearer\u0026rsquo;s name tape reading \u0026ldquo;COCKETT\u0026rdquo; and a \u0026ldquo;U.S. ARMY\u0026rdquo; tape.On the left shoulder, a black-based, shield-shaped unit insignia is sewn on. Judging by its shape and design, this \u003cstrong\u003eis believed to be an SSI patch in a subdued version used by the U.S. Army in Vietnam (USARV)\u003c\/strong\u003e; the low-visibility black\/olive color scheme, typical of the Vietnam War era, creates a truly authentic atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven more intriguing is the collar area. \u003cstrong\u003eStitching marks\u003c\/strong\u003e remain \u003cstrong\u003eon both the left and right collars\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esuggesting that rank insignia or branch insignia were once attached there and later removed\u003c\/strong\u003e.Together with the name tag and \u0026ldquo;ARMY\u0026rdquo; tape on the chest, as well as the epaulets, these details strongly suggest that this jacket was not merely surplus but was actually worn by a soldier. While the marks on the collar suggest it may have been worn by an officer, there is currently no documentation available to definitively determine the wearer\u0026rsquo;s rank, so this remains purely speculative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the jacket exhibits significant \u003cstrong\u003efading and signs of wear\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the olive green having transformed into a softer hue. The variations in shade visible on the pockets, collar, and seams are a unique characteristic of authentic vintage pieces that cannot be replicated by new or processed items. While there are minor stains and scuffs in places, these contribute to the jacket\u0026rsquo;s excellent overall character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe contract\/instruction label\u003c\/strong\u003e on the inside \u003cstrong\u003ehas weakened stitching,\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epart of it is starting to come off\u003c\/strong\u003e.
