This is a relatively large shirt for American advisors in the famous leaf camouflage pattern worn by ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) rangers and paratroopers in the 1960s and 1970s. 4-pocket type. This is a government-issued shirt with the QM stamp still on it.

Leaf camouflage shirts are very rare and were made for American advisors because they were too large for the South Vietnamese soldiers of the time. The finish is a little rougher than American or Japanese garments of the same period in terms of sewing made in Vietnam at the time. The button pocket size does not match the buttons and needs to be adjusted, and there are many loose threads and untreated threads. This is a specification of the time. After the war, many souvenir shirts were made for tourists using the same fabric, so shirts in unused condition are very rare. It is in good condition and although it is faded, it can still be enjoyed.

This leaf camouflage itself is not that common, but it is one of the representative camouflages of the Vietnam War and was used by some elite units along with tiger stripes. While many soldiers wore OD-colored combat uniforms, the fact that they wore camouflage had an impact on the danger and difficulty of their unit's missions, making it a very high status piece of clothing. We will treat it as a used item. Please note that returns are not possible.
