Original US Military issue

Circa. 1960s

Loosely based on the Frogskin camouflage used by US Forces during WW2, the Counter Insurgency Support Office (CISO) started procuring these uniforms during the early stages of the war for use by US Special Forces and Native Forces under the jurisdiction of the Civilian Irregular Defense Group (CIDG). Referred to as "Beo-Gam" (leopard) camouflage by locals, the name stuck. 

Made with an outstanding, soft Japanese midweight 100% cotton selvedge twill. This shirt has an Asian cut with exposed 13-star button pockets and full-length front closure.

Very good condition with signs of real wear - All buttons, fittings, and fixtures are present. The size label is present but faded. Fading from wear has revealed deep purple colours which only appear with natural, vegetable dyes as used in many asian-made camo patterns from the period. Some light sporadic staining as shown.
