Vintage U.S. Army green dress uniform, including jacket and matching pants, made in a lighter-weight polyester/wool tropical fabric rather than the heavier wool serge used on many earlier Army service coats. Interior label reads “U.S. Army Uniform – 60% Polyester / 40% Wool,” and the coat label indicates “Coat, Man’s, Polyester/Wool Tropical,” Size 37R, made by Franklin Clothes Inc.
The jacket features a classic military service coat cut with notched lapels, shoulder epaulets, four front flap pockets, gold-tone U.S. Army eagle buttons, and matching green trousers with a dark side stripe. The sleeve insignia includes an Airborne tab above the eagle-head shoulder patch, consistent with the 101st Airborne Division “Screaming Eagle” insignia. This gives the uniform a strong U.S. Army Airborne / 101st Airborne / Vietnam-era / Cold War-era appearance.
Because of the lighter tropical-weight fabric, this uniform has a smoother, less heavy feel than earlier Korean War wool uniforms, making it especially useful for theater, film, display, reenactment, and collector use.
Excellent for U.S. Army collectors, Airborne collectors, 101st Airborne displays, Vietnam War-era productions, Cold War military displays, theater costumes, school productions, film wardrobe, reenactment, Veterans Day displays, Memorial Day displays, and historical costuming.
Included: Jacket and matching pants. Shirt and tie are for display only and are not included.
