This is an authentic, vintage Vietnam War-era U.S. Army OG-107 Type III Utility Shirt. This is a genuine piece of historical military uniform made of heavy 100% cotton sateen and features the standard-issue olive drab 4-hole plastic buttons. The insignia, badges, and placement tell a precise story of a highly decorated U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) Infantry soldier from the late 1960s to early 1970s:
• Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB): The topmost patch (a rifle over an oak wreath). This is one of the Army's most respected badges, awarded exclusively to infantrymen who personally engaged in active ground combat. • Parachutist Badge (Jump Wings): The silver-and-black paratrooper wings placed directly underneath the CIB, indicating qualification as a military parachutist. • "U.S. ARMY" Name Tape: Subdued black-on-olive drab branch tape.
👔 Collar Insignia
• Crossed Rifles: The left collar (viewer's right) features embroidered crossed muskets/rifles, which is the official branch insignia for the U.S. Army Infantry.
Arm patches
• "AIRBORNE" Tab: Worn at the very top of the shoulder to specify parachute deployment status. • Special Forces Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI): The iconic arrowhead-shaped patch worn by the 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne). • The Arrowhead: Honors the stealth, tracking, and survival skills of Native Americans. • The Dagger: Represents the unconventional warfare tactics used by Special Forces. • The Three Lightning Flashes: Represents their capability to strike rapidly by land, sea, or air.
Shirt is in fair condition-has some holes on both sleeves at wrist area (see photos) and a button missing but considering what it’s been through it’s completely amazing and rare
