The Assault Vest, reissued as a movie costume used in the Omaha Beach landing scene at the beginning of the military movie milestone, "Private Ryan," is now in stock! This item was made by CRC, a Hollywood costume company for filming at the time, and worn by extras. It was produced to create a realistic battlefield feel in movies, and was one of the background equipment actually shown on the screen. Movie-loving guests should not miss it!

This vest has a history of being stored in seawater after filming, with rust floating on the metal parts and the taste of fading, staining, and weathering firmly etched into the canvas. It is a realistic finish that looks like it has been "back from the battlefield," and is a gem that will capture the hearts of vintage lovers, movie fans, and military collectors alike. The aging and other features that were applied at the time are still intact.

The CRC stamp on the back of the vest is still in place, which shows the history and value of the vest as a movie costume. Real assault vests are hard to find, and these realistic movie props have an overwhelming presence in both fashion and collectibles. This piece is a cross between history, movies, and the military, and we hope you will own it. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
