This shirt in leaf camouflage was worn by soldiers of the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) in the 1960s by elite divisions such as the Rangers and Airborne Divisions. It is a common shape manufactured at the time with distinctive shoulder pads and epaulettes. Of special note is the fabric quality. Usually a thicker cotton twill fabric is used, but this one is a lighter fabric and made of poplin. The camouflage print itself is the same, but the fabric is different in terms of fading. This shirt is made of a very unusual fabric. Although it is faded, there is still a trace of the South Vietnam QM stamp, which suggests that it was a government-issued item.
There is fading, but no signs of damage or repairs. Many of the buttons are missing, but could be repaired to make it a better collection. This is a very rare piece of clothing. Pants are also available at the same time.
