Manufactured by Henderson Manufacturing Co.

This jacket is a great example of the practical field clothing associated with the Vietnam War era. The OG-107 tropical combat uniform was developed for hot, humid environments and became closely associated with American military service in Vietnam. Lightweight cotton garments with concealed buttons were designed to reduce snagging on vegetation and equipment in jungle environments. The Medium Short sizing and stock number identify this as a specialized military garment rather than an ordinary civilian jacket. The attached Specialist E-4 and 18th Military Police Brigade insignia add particular interest for collectors of US Army uniforms and military patches.

Although the jacket shows substantial wear, its specific combat history and the identity of its original wearer are unknown. Great Uses: Vietnam War militaria collections, military displays, historical reenactment, military surplus fashion, movie and television costumes, film props, Halloween outfits, cosplay, or collectors of US Army uniforms and insignia.
