These are large pants for American advisors in the famous leaf camouflage, which was worn by ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) rangers and paratroopers in the 1960s and 1970s. also known as BDQ camouflage or pastel leaf, this camouflage pattern is unique to the Vietnam War.
These pants are part of a grouping of U.S. Army soldiers and belonged to a soldier who was a former military advisor.
Large size leaf camouflage pants are very rare and were made for American advisors because they were too big to be imagined based on the size of South Vietnamese soldiers at the time. Also, the fact that they are unused suggests that they were one of several pairs distributed. Unused pants are very rare, but from the point of view of Vietnamese sewing at that time, the finish is a little rougher than American or Japanese garments of the same period. The button pocket size does not match the buttons and needs to be adjusted, and there are many loose threads and untreated threads. This is a specification of the time.
Although this leaf camouflage itself is not that common, it is one of the camouflages representative of the Vietnam War and was used by some elite units along with the tiger stripe. While many soldiers wore OD-colored combat uniforms, the fact that they wore camouflage had an impact on the danger and difficulty of their unit's missions, making it a very high-status piece of clothing. Although it is an unused item, we will treat it as a used item. Please note that returns are not possible. Zippers should be coated with wax or similar to prevent damage and reduce the burden.
