The official designation is \u003cstrong\u003eCOAT, MAN'S, COTTON W\/R RIP-STOP POPLIN, OG 107, CLASS 1\u003c\/strong\u003e.The contract number on the label is \u003cstrong\u003eDSA 100-69-C-1361\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the manufacturer is \u003cstrong\u003eBONHAM MFG. CO., INC.\u003c\/strong\u003e Made from 100% cotton ripstop poplin, this is a quintessential tropical combat uniform from the Vietnam War era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4th Model features lightweight ripstop fabric and a highly practical design tailored for tropical operations. The distinctive design of the jungle fatigues\u0026mdash;with large, diagonally placed chest pockets and hip pockets\u0026mdash;has become one of the most iconic styles in military wear today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the greatest appeal of this particular piece is \u003cstrong\u003ethat it was customized into a short-sleeved version by a USAF soldier of that era\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally a long-sleeved garment, the sleeves were boldly cut off to create short sleeves. This is believed to be a field customization born from the need to wear the uniform in the hot and humid conditions of Southeast Asia. It\u0026rsquo;s not just a simple cut\u0026mdash;the overall balance is excellent, and the finish conveys the sensibility of soldiers at the time regarding \u0026ldquo;how to wear fatigues stylishly.\u0026rdquo;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the chest are a \u0026ldquo;JOHNSON\u0026rdquo; name tape and a \u0026ldquo;U.S. AIR FORCE\u0026rdquo; tape. Additionally, the original USAF rank insignia from that era remain on both sleeves.The rank insignia shown in the photo is a chevron with a star in the center; based on the stripe configuration, it appears to be that of a Staff Sergeant (E-5).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll patches are in their original, period-correct condition. From the fading of the fabric and patches to the way the stitching has settled over time, this piece possesses an authenticity that a later-assembled replica simply cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a non-commissioned officer\u0026rsquo;s uniform; it was not worn by a pilot. While no patches remain that would allow us to identify the specific unit or job specialty, this garment suggests it was likely worn by a soldier engaged in ground duties\u0026mdash;such as aircraft maintenance\u0026mdash;at USAF air bases in Vietnam or Thailand during the Vietnam War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome USAF jungle fatigues feature modifications to the sleeve length and silhouette like this, giving them a unique character distinct from the Army\u0026rsquo;s field uniform. This piece is a perfect example, with an outstanding combination of \u003cstrong\u003ethe 4th Model, custom short sleeves, the original name tag and USAF tape, and rank insignia on both sleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe size is \u003cstrong\u003emarked as SMALL-LONG\u003c\/strong\u003e. According to the label, this long length fits a chest measurement of 33\u0026ndash;37 inches and a height of 71 inches or more. The conversion to short sleeves further emphasizes its unique silhouette\u0026mdash;slim-fitting with a longer body length. It offers a very interesting balance even from a fashion perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition shows signs of wear and fading from actual use. The fabric and areas around the pockets exhibit typical vintage wear, but there are no major, noticeable tears; considering its age and the fact that it\u0026rsquo;s a genuine, well-worn piece, it\u0026rsquo;s in good condition. Above all, this worn-in look blends perfectly with the customizations and patches from that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn\u0026rsquo;t just any old jungle fatigues jacket\u0026mdash;it\u0026rsquo;s \u003cstrong\u003ea piece that has been preserved exactly as it was when a USAF soldier from the Vietnam War era customized it for himself and wore it extensively.\u003c\/strong\u003e We hope you\u0026rsquo;ll enjoy the stunning look that\u0026rsquo;s unique to this short-sleeved custom piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that since this is a used item, returns are not accepted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (measured flat)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoulder width: 44 cm,\u003cbr \/\u003eChest width: 55 cm,\u003cbr \/\u003eLength: 82 cm,\u003cbr \/\u003eSleeve length: 24 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MILITARIA 1911 ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48554743136497,"sku":"3RD4TH-60-442","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/8241\/6881\/files\/IMG_7414_d98be9a7-c0e9-4039-8844-db3b5253653e.jpg?v=1786684711","url":"https:\/\/au.militaria-1911.com\/products\/1969-contract-s-l-taylor-markings-4th-model-jungle-fatigue-jacket-usaf-short-sleeve-custom-used","provider":"MILITARIA 1911 ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
