The "Jungle Fatigue Jacket" was a masterpiece developed to cope with the harsh combat environment in the tropics during the Vietnam War. This is an actual vintage of the 2nd model manufactured around 1965, with FEC number on the contract, which seems to be made in Japan. The size is MEDIUM-SHORT and the best size. This item was kept as a costume for a movie company.

The characteristic details are the specifications peculiar to the 2nd model with epaulettes and gas flap. And the biggest point of this item is that both sleeves have been cut off and custom-made into short sleeves. This is a practical customization that was done to make it easier to move and more comfortable for soldiers to wear in actual combat.

The material is lightweight and breathable poplin cotton. The fading and biting throughout the entire garment has been done beautifully, giving it a "grown-up" look that gives the impression of having been used on the battlefield. There is a rather large stain on the back and some wear and tear around the pockets, but that is also part of the charm of this piece. You can fully enjoy the unique vintage style that you can never get from a new one. This item was also used as a rental costume for Hollywood movies, so it may have been used in many movie shootings.

There are three missing buttons on the front. One button is missing from the front right breast pocket.

The size is a medium-short, which is in high demand, and the relaxed fit characteristic of jungle fatigues makes it easy to fit into a variety of styles. It is an item with very high value as a one-of-a-kind item, including the background of local procurement and custom specifications.
