This camouflage shirt is said to have been issued to and used by the student trainees, ROTC, and the local military training corps in Korea, and features a unique camouflage pattern. Commonly called "Hangul Camo," its most distinctive feature is its graphic composition, which incorporates Hangul characters (훈련 = training, 군 = military, etc.) within the camouflage, a rare occurrence in the world.
It is said to have been used mainly in Korea since the 1980s for field training and spiritual education for university students, reservists, and high school trainees, and is positioned more like an educational/training uniform than a formal combat uniform. Therefore, the uniform has a sense of fashion and humor that is different from that of official uniforms, and is highly popular as a collector's item.
The color scheme is based on ivory to khaki, with a unique pattern composition using two shades of brown. At first glance, the camouflage appears abstract, but upon closer inspection, one can see that the Hangul characters "훈련" and "군" have been incorporated into the design as part of the camouflage. The detailing is done with a playful touch.
Details are in a shirt jacket style with flap pockets on both chests. The material is a lightweight, breathable cotton blend that can be worn as a shirt or as a light jacket.
The condition is extremely good, in the beautiful class with no noticeable damage or stains. It has very little wear and is a ready-to-wear piece for daily wear as well as for the collection.
This is a masterpiece of Korean vintage that is a fusion of military x culture x humor, and is well known by those in the know. It is a gem that can be widely recommended for both fashion use and material-oriented collection.
This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
