It is entirely different from \u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003estandard-issue jackets; rather, it was independently crafted using issued military materials, making it a unique piece representative of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the exact date cannot be determined, based on its specifications and the materials used, it is \u003cstrong\u003eestimated\u003c\/strong\u003e to date \u003cstrong\u003efrom the late 1960s to the early 1970s\u003c\/strong\u003e. Furthermore, judging by the stitching and the overall feel of the components, it is likely that this piece was made in Japan or in Okinawa, where U.S. military bases were located.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts greatest appeal, without a doubt, is \u003cstrong\u003ethe body\u003c\/strong\u003e, which \u003cstrong\u003emakes generous use of Mitchell-pattern shelter halves\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mitchell pattern is one of the camouflage patterns synonymous with the U.S. military from the late 1950s onward and the Vietnam War; it left a particularly strong impression during the Vietnam War era, notably on helmet covers. The unique charm of this locally made piece lies in the fact that the fabric\u0026mdash;originally intended for shelter halves\u0026mdash;was taken apart, re-cut, and re-tailored into clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this piece, the \u0026ldquo;Leaf\u0026rdquo; side\u0026mdash;which features a green base\u0026mdash;is boldly placed on the outer side. Meanwhile, the inner side displays a brown-toned pattern, creating a stunning visual \u003cstrong\u003ethat makes it immediately clear this is a reversible camouflage fabric derived from a shelter half\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the fabric itself already exhibits significant fading and signs of wear.\u003cstrong\u003eThis condition suggests\u003c\/strong\u003e not only the natural aging that occurred while the jacket was worn but also \u003cstrong\u003ethe possibility that it was made from a shelter half that had already seen some use\u003c\/strong\u003e. The mix of whitish, worn-out green, faded brown, and deep prints remaining in places creates a stunning vintage look that\u0026rsquo;s nearly impossible to replicate with modern, processed fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the chest, there\u0026rsquo;s \u003cstrong\u003ea black stencil of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) and \u0026ldquo;USMC.\u0026rdquo;\u003c\/strong\u003e Above that, you can also make out faint markings that appear to be the name of a former owner. These personal traces add to the garment\u0026rsquo;s charm as a locally made piece crafted from issue fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is also superb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front features a zipper closure, with a \u003cstrong\u003eYKK\u003c\/strong\u003e zipper. It has large patch pockets on both sides at the waist and flap pockets on the sleeves. It\u0026rsquo;s important to note that this isn\u0026rsquo;t simply a direct copy of a standard utility jacket; its \u003cstrong\u003eunique construction\u003c\/strong\u003e is somewhat \u003cstrong\u003ereminiscent of a hunting jacket\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to cut an existing shelter half pattern and transform it into a single jacket\u0026mdash;the irregular way the pattern falls, which seems to reflect that process of trial and error, is a hallmark of locally made items. Even if you tried to find another one exactly like it, you\u0026rsquo;d be unlikely to find one with the same cut or fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the time of the Vietnam War, soldiers used camouflage uniforms and locally tailored clothing that differed from standard-issue gear. Among these, \u003cstrong\u003ethe combination of the USMC, the Mitchell pattern, and locally made items\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003ea highly sought-after category even in the vintage military market\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not just any camouflage jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was created when a U.S. military \u0026ldquo;Shelter Half\u0026rdquo;\u0026mdash;a piece of military equipment\u0026mdash;was repurposed as fabric and transformed into a garment by a local tailor. Furthermore, it retains the USMC stencil, traces of its previous owner, and years of fading\u0026mdash;making it a piece that invites you to imagine the history of this very item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMitchell Camo \u0026times; USMC \u0026times; Locally Made \u0026times; Hunting Jacket Style.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has an outstanding presence as a vintage piece. While it\u0026rsquo;s certainly great for everyday wear, this is a special piece I highly recommend to collectors of USMC, Vietnam War-era, and locally made items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eCondition: Used. Shows significant fading, scuffing, and signs of wear throughout. The shelter half used as the base material may have been previously used itself, and this piece has a very distinctive character, including these signs of aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that returns are not accepted on used items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (measured flat)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e: Shoulder width: 46 cm; \u003cbr \/\u003eChest width: 60 cm; \u003cbr \/\u003eSleeve length: 59 cm; Overall \u003cbr \/\u003elength: 71 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e*This item is sold on consignment.
