Vietnam War OD Green Jungle Jacket & Pants SF Sniper Ghillie Suit, MEDIUM

Description: Vietnam War OD Green Jungle Jacket & Pants Sniper Ghillie Suit, MEDIUM This suit was not worn in Vietnam, but it uses a set of Vietnam "); border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;">OD jungle fatigues as its base. I have no specific information on who built it, but it follows close to older military doctrine in its construction. The maker was in Special Forces; his regular uniforms had SF patches. They had the long tab so this suit probably saw use in the mid-80s, after the long tab was introduced, and before lightweight BDUs appeared on the scene - just a guess though. Most of the scrim is gone; just remnants remain and no boonie was found with the set.Jacket The base jacket is an original GI OD jungle jacket in size M-R. The pockets were removed from the front. The lower pockets are sewn on the hip skirts of the coat. The upper pockets are sewn on the upper sleeves. The camo netting makes it tougher to get into the pockets but it’s manageable. There is a general purpose pocket sewn at the bottom center inside on the back. It was made from a cargo pocket from the OD jungle pants. Most everything is glued down and then the pockets are also crudely stitched as well. There is an ape tail to go around the crotch. Pants The pants measure 37x30 and are GI issue OD jungle pants. The zipper was removed and there is a button in its place. It looks like the heavier material reinforcements were removed from the front/thighs. I don’t know why. The netting is glued on. The pants show more wear and have some holes from crawling. The suspenders are GI field pants suspenders and are glued and sewn in place. I may have missed some construction elements of the set, but that gives you an overall idea of the ghillie.
