A classic piece of American surplus. The entire range of M81 woodland gear is always a renowned piece, made to excellent US Army standards. These coats saw use across all branches of the US army for a number of decades. Even now the basic combat uniform used stems from the design of these jackets and usually use a similar material.

Now this particular jacket has been turned into a vest, tailor made in the field by an American soldier. The design is excellent having 4 button pockets, offering ample storage. The entire front is shut with a button closure. A really nice piece of militaria especially given the organic nature.

As for the camouflage, the jacket is made up completely of the US M81 Woodland colourway, an excellent pattern that saw use across the globe! It went onto inspire numerous patterns over the following decades, both within various militaries and the commercial market. Even today, you'll find a select few countries using a M81 variant thanks to its fantastic concealment capabilities and adaptability throughout most temperate climates.
