A U.S. Army OG-107 utility shirt from the 1960s, during the Vietnam War era.
This is a truly special piece with a lot of character, featuring numerous unit patches and insignia.
The OG-107 utility shirt is a cotton-satin work and combat uniform that was widely used by the U.S. military from the 1950s through the 1970s.
Its distinctive olive green hue and the beautiful fade that develops with repeated wear are its main attractions, and it remains highly popular today as a quintessential vintage military item.
This particular piece is based on a 1960s OG-107 shirt and features a very interesting patch arrangement.
A “LA DUE” name tape is attached to the right chest, with a “JUNGLE EXPERT” patch mounted directly below it.
The “JUNGLE EXPERT” patch evokes training in jungle combat and survival skills, giving it a strong sense of the atmosphere typical of Vietnam War-era military uniforms.
On the left chest is a “U.S. ARMY” tape, and above that is a triangular patch bearing the words “HELL ON WHEELS.”
“HELL ON WHEELS” is the famous nickname of the U.S. Army’s 2nd Armored Division.
It is a name that symbolizes the division, which was active from World War II through the Cold War era, and features a highly appealing design that conveys the power of tanks and armored units.
Furthermore, different unit insignias are attached to both sleeves.
One sleeve features a unit insignia with a sword motif, while the other has a patch with a distinctive design reminiscent of a flower.
The collar features different black embroidered insignia on the left and right sides, giving it a presence that sets it apart from standard OG-107 shirts.
An OG-107 shirt featuring such a diverse array of patches is not only visually striking but also offers the pleasure of researching the history behind each insignia.
While it appears that some restoration work has been performed, overall, this piece retains a strong sense of its original period atmosphere.
While we cannot definitively determine the combination of patches or when they were attached, the appearance created by the fabric and insignia that have weathered the test of time is brimming with a charm that modern, brand-new items simply cannot match.
The fabric is the cotton satin unique to the OG-107.
Through repeated wear and washing, the olive green has faded to a soft hue, and beautiful wear marks have appeared along the seams and around the pockets.
The fading around the chest pocket and the aging of the various patches are particularly striking, evoking the distinctive character of vintage military gear.
Although the size tag is missing, the fit is estimated to be approximately a SMALL.
It’s easy to incorporate into modern fashion and pairs exceptionally well with denim or chinos.
This is a highly appealing vintage shirt—an original 1960s OG-107 featuring a collection of distinctive patches.
We highly recommend this piece not only to fans of Vietnam War-era military wear but also to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind item with patches.
This is a used item.
It shows significant signs of wear and fading throughout.
Years of wear and washing have caused color fading, wear marks, and scuffs, giving it a wonderful vintage look.
The button on the chest pocket is missing.
While some areas appear to have been restored, the jacket as a whole retains a strong sense of its original period character.
Each patch also shows signs of fading and wear due to age.
Unlike new items or well-preserved vintage clothing, this piece allows you to enjoy the unique character found only in vintage military gear that has been worn for many years.
Please note that returns are not accepted for used items.
