This is the 3rd Model Jungle Fatigue Jacket, a classic piece of field wear synonymous with the Vietnam War. It is believed to have been contracted around 1967. The condition is near-new. It can safely be called deadstock.
Based on the size tag and label, this item is believed to have been manufactured around 1967. The fabric is a non-ripstop cotton poplin, which is highly popular among collectors. As a model predating the ripstop fabric adopted in later years, it offers the unique charm of early fatigues, featuring a supple feel and beautiful drape.Featuring a simple design that omits the epaulets characteristic of the 3rd Model, this garment boasts a polished style with a diagonally placed chest pocket and large cargo pockets with gussets. Although designed as combat fatigues for use in the hot and humid conditions of Vietnam, its refined silhouette has had a significant influence on modern military fashion.
Its condition is particularly noteworthy. As you can see from the photos, the fabric retains its firm texture, and there are virtually no signs of wear from use or washing. It is in excellent condition, likely deadstock that has been stored for a long time or in near-mint condition.
In recent years, the non-ripstop 3rd Model has gained increasing global acclaim, and finding pieces in good condition has become increasingly difficult year by year. In particular, items with extremely minimal wear, such as this one, are rarely seen on the market, making it an impeccable piece for both collecting and practical use.
