A true Vietnam-era colourway used before the shift to lighter khaki in the 80s.

Condition: Good vintage condition with light, honest wear. Fabric remains strong with minor marks expected from age and service use. Buttons, patches and seams all secure.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
