Unusual request perhaps - Jungle Fatigues
I have a need for a set of Viet Nam era jungle fatigues. Does anyone know of repros being made? I have my originals but my skeletal frame from back in the day has put on a few pounds.

A little pricey, but can even get tiger stripes here...

Seeing what originals are going for now, you'd better dig through the trash!!

I've got several X-small Long and Small Regular - not sure whose they were, but they have my name on them - if that helps. We got unlimited amounts when my ODA worked at JOTC in Panama.

At those prices, it sure is tempting. I kept one set of my OG-107s (jacket has lower pockets removed and sewn to upper sleeves so the shirt could be worn tucked in, "O-Pos" printed over left breast pocket), one pair of jungle boots, my cotton web A-7A strap belt, and stabo harness. If the economy gets bad enough, I might have to sell them...otherwise, they'll be passed on to my sons with my dress greens.

I've got 4 or 5 pairs of issue jungle boots, never worn, in size 8 1/2 R - seems I'm a 9 now.

I used to be an 8, now I'm an 8 1/2. Can we talk?

You guys sound like a couple of VNAF A-1E pilots - a pair of pliers. Do you also wear LARGE wristwatches?
