The most classic camouflage used by the U.S. Army Special Forces Green Berets in the early to mid-1960s during the Vietnam War was the Beogum camouflage. Originally, the camouflage was based on the frogskin camouflage used in the WWII era, and after WWII, much of the frogskin camouflage was sold off as hunting wear and became popular, and the camouflage pattern was used by civilians as it was. It is said that this is the origin of another name, "Duck Hunter," as it was popular among duck hunters.

After about 17 years after the end of WWII in 1945, the U.S. military needed camouflage to participate in jungle combat, and the U.S. military, which did not have camouflage clothing as military uniforms, conversely procured some private hunting clothing and supplied it to Green Beret soldiers heading for the Vietnam War, etc., but began manufacturing its own to supplement them. However, the U.S. Army began to manufacture its own camouflage to supplement the civilian hunting clothes. The camouflage was developed through a variety of events.

In the first half of the 1960s, the Beogum camouflage was the mainstream, but then the Tiger Stripe camouflage appeared around 1965, and for a time the Beogum camouflage and Tiger camouflage were used together. It can be said that both camouflages are representative of the operations led by the Green Berets against the CIDG and the local South Vietnamese minority groups.

Among such circumstances, the size tag "M" that seems to be made in Japan in a larger size for American advisors remains and is very rare. It has been a long time since we have received this item. Fortunately, the size is large enough for modern people to enjoy. These pants are made of thin fabric and are the same cut as the U.S. Army's OG-107 utility pants, also known as baker pants, and are very easy to use. They are in good condition with little fading, but there are a few red stains. Overall, they are in good condition and are a valuable piece of clothing. They are used and cannot be returned. Please understand.
