We have received the 4th Model, often considered the definitive version of the U.S. Army Jungle Fatigue Jacket, originally contracted in 1969. What’s more, this particular piece is a special find that combines the rarest of conditions: it’s an X-LARGE REGULAR—the largest available size—and is in deadstock (unused) condition.

The Jungle Fatigue was developed to withstand the harsh tropical conditions of the Vietnam War, and the 4th Model represents the final evolution of this line. It features ripstop cotton poplin fabric, offering both lightweight comfort and exceptional durability. The grid-like weave is designed to prevent tears from spreading, making this model highly reliable in combat.

Furthermore, the epaulets and waist adjusters found on previous models were omitted, refining the design into a simpler, more functional form. While retaining the diagonally placed chest pocket and the large lower pocket, it successfully balances practicality with reduced wearer discomfort. It is precisely this high level of refinement, stripped of all unnecessary elements, that continues to earn the 4th Model its enduring acclaim.

Although this piece dates back to a 1969 contract—right in the midst of the Vietnam War—it is in deadstock condition with no signs of use.Both the fabric’s stiffness and color are impeccable, and finding a piece in such pristine condition is becoming increasingly difficult with each passing year. Furthermore, the size is particularly noteworthy. The X-LARGE REGULAR size is extremely rare in circulation, making this a piece that allows you to enjoy an oversized silhouette that fits perfectly with modern styling. It is highly appealing not only as a collector’s item but also for practical use. Please take this opportunity to acquire a piece that can be called the ultimate form of military wear. Please note that this is a used item and cannot be returned.
