Military wear of the "transitional period", born between the masterpiece and the masterpiece.
This is a US ARMY Fatigue Jacket 2nd model (without epaulettes) x 3rd model transitional specifications, so to speak, an eclectic type of actual combat tropical jacket. Size is SMALL-REGULAR.
The tag has "DSA 100-2093", which is a common contract number with the 3rd model. Despite this, this item has the "no epaulettes" characteristic of the 2nd model, and the "gas flap (throat patch)" **specific to the early model. These details suggest with a high degree of certainty that this is a "transitional type "** manufactured between 1966 and 1967, on the borderline between the 2nd and 3rd models.
The material is the well-known 100% cotton poplin (OG-107 ). It is lightweight and airy, and was designed for the humid conditions of Southeast Asia, making it a tropical jacket with real-world specifications. The four pockets on the chest and waist are designed with diagonal flaps and three-dimensional gussets for both storage and mobility.
The overall condition is good with minimal signs of use. However, there is a small hole near the left shoulder on the back side. It is part of the charm of the jacket, which gives a sense of reality and the "atmosphere of the field.
Among successive generations of Fatigue Jackets, this eclectic type is a rare piece with a very short production period and a limited number of existing pieces; it is a piece that can be called a "witness of the joint" with the simple appearance of the 2nd and the specifications of the 3rd. It is a must-have item for those who want to know more about vintage military.
