Furthermore, the sleeves were altered to short sleeves by the original wearer, making it a piece with exceptional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"99\" data-end=\"164\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"250\" data-end=\"358\"\u003eIts greatest appeal lies not merely in the fact that it has been altered to short sleeves, but that the \u0026ldquo;WARREN\u0026rdquo; name tape on the chest, the \u0026ldquo;U.S. AIR FORCE\u0026rdquo; tape, and even the Captain\u0026rsquo;s rank insignia on the collar remain exactly as they were in the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"360\" data-end=\"469\"\u003eUnlike restored pieces where patches are added later to create a vintage look, this jacket was actually worn by a single Air Force officer and modified as needed by him. This \u0026ldquo;complete look as personal gear\u0026rdquo; is its greatest appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"581\"\u003eThe 3rd Model belongs to \u003cstrong data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"534\"\u003ea generation that used cotton poplin fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than the ripstop fabric that became standard in the later 4th Model. As the Vietnam War intensified in the late 1960s, this jungle fatigues jacket represents that transitional period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"755\"\u003eThis is a custom-modified short-sleeve jacket. Rather than wearing issued gear exactly as prescribed, soldiers modified their equipment in the field to suit hot climates, mission requirements, and personal preferences. These practical modifications are one of the elements that make Vietnam War-era field wear so fascinating. Unlike the fashion-oriented remakes of later years, the \u0026ldquo;customization for practical use\u0026rdquo; remains intact.Since the Air Force\u0026rsquo;s mission does not involve ground combat, modifications like these are frequently observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"865\"\u003eFurthermore, it comes in the \u003cstrong data-start=\"767\" data-end=\"782\"\u003erare MEDIUM-LONG\u003c\/strong\u003e size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"973\"\u003eThe garment shows overall fading from wear and washing, with the characteristic variations in color intensity\u0026mdash;particularly around the chest pocket and patches\u0026mdash;that are unique to authentic pieces. Despite this, the overall condition of the body is good, allowing you to fully appreciate the original patches and custom details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1008\"\u003eIf you\u0026rsquo;re just looking for a standard jungle fatigues jacket, there are still plenty of options available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1105\"\u003eHowever, it\u0026rsquo;s a different story when a single garment combines all these elements: \u003cstrong data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1083\"\u003ea 3rd Model from the 1967 contract, USAF, period-correct patches, a Captain\u0026rsquo;s rank insignia, the MEDIUM-LONG size, and a period-style short-sleeve customization\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1238\"\u003eWhat was once a uniform item issued to a single soldier\u0026mdash;worn and modified by him\u0026mdash;has been transformed into a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This is an exceptionally appealing USAF jungle fatigue that I highly recommend to those who want to appreciate military wear not just as \u0026ldquo;clothing,\u0026rdquo; but also as a testament to the traces left by its original wearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1580\" data-end=\"1586\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1643\"\u003eSigns of wear from actual use and overall fading are visible. The sleeves have been custom-modified to short sleeves by the original wearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1730\"\u003eThe patches\u0026mdash;including the \u0026ldquo;WARREN\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;U.S. AIR FORCE\u0026rdquo; tapes on the chest and the rank insignia on the collar\u0026mdash;are all original and have been attached since the time of use. It is in a condition that is highly appealing as vintage military gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1732\" data-end=\"1756\"\u003ePlease note that since this is a used item, returns are not accepted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"ttgsv0\" data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"1770\"\u003eSize (measured flat)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1793\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eShoulder width: 47 cm; Chest \u003cbr data-start=\"1775\" data-end=\"1778\" \/\u003ewidth: 62 cm; \u003cbr data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1784\" \/\u003eLength: 84 cm; \u003cbr data-start=\"1787\" data-end=\"1790\" \/\u003eSleeve length: 25 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MILITARIA 1911 ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67125777596657,"sku":"3RD4TH-60-468","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/8241\/6881\/files\/IMG_0611_b290ff36-9006-4629-91dc-366a9e2081e4.jpg?v=1791192338","url":"https:\/\/uk.militaria-1911.com\/products\/1967-contract-m-l-3rd-model-jungle-fatigue-jacket-usaf-customized-used","provider":"MILITARIA 1911 ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
