This is the 1st Model Jungle Fatigue Pants, a classic piece that symbolizes the early days of the Vietnam War.
This item is a 1964 contract item, as identified by the contract number "DSA-1-3144-64-C." It is from an extremely early production lot manufactured just before the Vietnam War escalated, making it a 1st Model that is particularly highly regarded by collectors. The size is MEDIUM-LONG, and it is a superb, nearly unused piece.
The fabric is lightweight cotton poplin with excellent quick-drying properties. Designed as tropical combat fatigues for use in Vietnam’s hot and humid climate, this uniform incorporates specialized features throughout that distinguish it from the earlier OG-107 utility uniform.
The large cargo pockets feature built-in leg tie straps to prevent contents from shifting, and the hem is equipped with a drawcord. Furthermore, the side adjusters and various details unique to the 1st Model are fully preserved, allowing you to fully appreciate the charm of this early model that is not found in later versions.
Jungle fatigues, introduced at the dawn of the Vietnam War, have grown in esteem year by year, and among them, the 1964 contract 1st Model stands in a class of its own. They have become increasingly difficult to find on the market in recent years, and well-preserved examples are particularly rare.
Above all, the greatest appeal of this item is its superb condition, which can be described as virtually unused.
The fabric retains its firm texture, the shape of the cargo pockets remains intact, and there is virtually no sign of wear from use. It is in such excellent condition that it is hard to believe this is military gear manufactured over 60 years ago, making it a highly satisfying addition to any collection.
Opportunities to find a 1964 1st Model in this condition will become increasingly rare in the future. This is a precious piece that allows you to enjoy the early Jungle Fatigue Pants—one of the most popular items of Vietnam War-era gear—in the highest possible condition.
