These were not official government issue garments, but were acquired privately by Special Forces personel as a preferred garment to much of the issue clothing.
In the early part of the Vietnam War some Special Forces units which needed clothing that offered better qualities than the normal issue garments, procured their own either from local sources, or had them custom-made.
This particular design of hooded combat parka is one that was made in the US out of WWII style Mil Spec HBT fabric primarily for the commercial hunting market. Our recreation is taken directly from this design.
The fabric is custom-made to exact Mil Spec. quality, and the pattern and shape is faithfully reproduced.
Being unlined this garment is very versatile as it can be worn on its own over just a tee in mild climate, or it can be layered with warmer layers underneath turning it into a very reasonable winter garment as well. The reversible design means it has pockets on the inside as well as the outside so there is plenty of pocket stowage space. This is an extremely practical garment which most will find is a go-to choice for most occasions.
