The Mitchell pattern (leaf camo) was issued to the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. This extremely rare, locally made field jacket is based on the shelter half (tent fabric used as a poncho liner) of the Mitchell pattern. The Mitchell pattern was a camouflage pattern used throughout the Vietnam War, but it is most famous for its use as a helmet cover. The reverse side of the unique reversible camouflage is famous for being the basis of "cloud camouflage," which was copied and used by the South Vietnamese military police. In this sense, there is an opinion that it is correct to say that it is a copy of "Mitchell camouflage" rather than "cloud camouflage".

Shelter halves originally used as tents were dismantled and reconstructed into practical jackets. It is a so-called tailor-made product (locally procured) that was tailored to meet the needs of individual soldiers around the frontline bases of the time, including Okinawa.

The front utilizes the original shelter half-snap button as it is, ensuring practicality. The hooded design and large pockets give it a unique balance and ruggedness not found in ready-made items. Also noteworthy are the stenciled USMC markings, name, and traces of identification numbers. In addition, a hand-painted global anchor (EGA) is applied, a detail that gives a strong sense of the soldier's personal background at the time.

The backside fabric unique to the Mitchell pattern, which is used in a reversible manner, can also be seen on the inside, and the charm of the material itself can be fully enjoyed in this dress. Although fading can be seen overall, there is no major damage that would spoil the atmosphere, and it is in very good condition as vintage. You can wear it for a long time and enjoy the change over time. It is a completely one-of-a-kind piece that sets it apart from ready-to-wear military wear. This special piece is highly recommended for both collection and practical use.

This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
