A jungle fatigues jacket in ERDL Green Leaf camouflage, one of the iconic camouflage patterns of the Vietnam War era. This item is from a 1969 contract and is a MEDIUM-REGULAR size.The contract label on the inside reads “COAT, MAN’S, CAMOUFLAGE COTTON WIND RESISTANT POPLIN, CLASS 2,” and lists the contractor as “TELLICO MANUFACTURING COMPANY.”

 

The fabric features cotton ripstop with a distinctive grid-like weave. The ERDL-specific pattern—with green as the base color and layers of brown and black tones—evokes a sense of history that would later influence U.S. military camouflage designs.“Color” is particularly important in vintage ERDL. While this piece shows signs of fading from actual use, it still retains the vivid hues characteristic of Green Leaf. It boasts a wonderful patina unique to well-worn vintage items—distinct from both the intense color of a brand-new garment and pieces that have completely lost their color.

The front features four diagonally arranged pockets, a hallmark of jungle fatigues. A “U.S. ARMY” tape remains on the chest, and part of an insignia is still visible on the collar. The preservation of these details allows you to fully appreciate the unique presence of authentic military gear.

Furthermore, the size is MEDIUM-REGULAR (Chest 37–41 inches / Height 67–71 inches). This is a size we’d like to highlight not only for collectors but also for those who want to actually wear vintage military gear as fashion.

Even among ERDL Green Leaf camouflage, the overall impression can vary significantly depending on the individual item’s fading and color retention. This piece strikes an excellent balance: it retains the authentic feel of a garment that has been worn while still allowing you to fully appreciate the camouflage pattern’s colors. We highly recommend this specific item to anyone who wants to “wear and enjoy” an authentic camouflage uniform from the Vietnam War era.


Condition: Used. Shows fading and signs of wear from use and age. The color is relatively well-preserved. Some patches and insignia remain. Please note that, as this is vintage military gear, it may have minor scuffs, frayed threads, and other signs of use.

As this is a used item, returns are not accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
