ERDL camouflage appeared during the Vietnam War period. Among them, this particular piece is a very rare piece that is located in the very early stage of the war.
The first thing to note is the fabric. It is not a common ripstop fabric, but a non-rip poplin fabric, and two different types of fabrics are mixed together to create a unique specification.
The same poplin is used for the back center pocket and the body, indicating the complexity of the manufacturing background. The buttons are shiny and unique to the initial lot. The traces of the size tag also suggest that this is an early production lot from 1966 to 1967. Although we cannot be certain of the age and specifications, the very unusual texture of the fabric gives the impression of a test print or a trial lot, which is one of its charms.
In addition, this item has been custom-made in many places.
The details of the epaulettes and the lower part of the back pocket seem to have been retrofitted, and modifications have been made to suit actual operations. The U.S. Navy tape on the chest and the name tape (MORGAN) are also actual items from that time, but are presumed to have been added later, and are details that give a sense of the transition in the user's affiliation and usage.
The condition of the item is used with some fading and repairs,
All of them form a very good atmosphere as elements that tell the history of this piece.
This is not just an ERDL, but a combination of early lot, unique fabric, and actual customization, which makes it an extremely valuable piece of data. This is definitely a special piece that is highly recommended for collectors.
This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
