About this deal

Mine is a Medium Regular, which has a perfect length. There is a slight compromise on the sleeve, which would ideally be an inch longer, but it’s a small point on vintage, which is often so hard to size right. Plus I often push the sleeves up in warm weather. There are camouflage versions too, but I don’t like camo as much. It’s very subjective, but camo for me is more obviously military, without the countercultural associations of the plain OG. It feels more towards glorifying warfare. It helps that vintage versions have been washed and worn countless times, making them softer and perhaps even lighter too. Olive Green) เฉดสี 107 (OG-107) ผลิตด้วยผ้าฝ้าย ป๊อปปลิ้น (Cotton Poplin) โดยเริ่มผลิตรูปแบบแรก (1st Pattern) ในช่วงต้นคริสต์ทศวรรษที่ 1960 และผลิตด้วยกันอีกหลายต่อหลายรูปแบบในเวลาต่อมา โดยมีการเพิ่มเติมตัดแต่งรายละเอียดของเสื้อให้เหมาะสมกับการใช้งานและความต้องการของทหารในแต่ละช่วงเวลา

I’m sure that kind of organisation will please the geeks/obsessives out there. I’m rarely that systematic, but I did notice it was the one time I never forgot the leave the house without something! Trousers waist sizes: Small 27 to 31". Medium 31 to 35". Large 35 to 39". X Large 39 to 43". XX Large 43 to 47". I’ve shot it with two outfits here, and the one shown at top is a deliberately smart colour combination: navy knitted polo, white jeans, brown-suede loafers. The same colours would work just as well with more formal materials too, such as cream flannels, a blue oxford shirt, and a navy cashmere knit. I bought it two years ago, at the now sadly closed Vintage Showroom in London. They were popular then, and have only become more so since - Drake’s released its version earlier this year.

From India to the UK, the safari jacket is the smart choice!

Tropical Climate) ไม่เอื้ออำนวยต่อการใส่เสื้อผ้าทางการทหารแบบเดิม ๆ ทางกองทัพสหรัฐฯ จึงได้มีการปรับเปลี่ยนรูปแบบของเสื้อ แจ็คเก็ต ให้เข้ากับสภาพอากาศ แต่ยังคงความอเนกประสงค์ในการใช้งานอยู่ Clearly the American military isn’t familiar with the concept of not fixing stuff that “ain’t broke.” The third and final version of this classic uniform was made from 1964 to 1989 and is by far the most common of the various OG-107 editions. Travel Waterbottle: When we’re uncertain about the water supply we use our Grayl Purifier. It’s come in exceptionally handy around Africa.

I personally prefer the ripstop (below), because it feels a touch lighter and I like the texture, but it’s not a big difference. The first pattern was first issued to the Special Forces but as more troops arrived in country it was issued to more soldiers in different branches until the later pattern suits where developed. The US Army 1st pattern tropical trousers are easily identified by the exposed buttons and the poplin (non- ripstop) green fabric. A safari outfit should blend in with the environment. You should wear beige, green, and brown colored clothes. They are the staple colors of safari wear because they blend into the environment and can provide a better game-viewing experience.But something I find the new versions can't achieve is the lightness of the originals. That rip-stop cotton was made for tropical climates, and it’s as light as a linen overshirt, perhaps even more so. First and foremost, you do not have to wear special safari clothes. Most time on safari is spent in a vehicle where clothes choice does not matter much. In fact, that can be an issue with names and badges on a lot of vintage military clothing. But that’s probably a debate for another day.
