US ARMY CAMOUFLAGED TUNIC - 1978 -
After the end of the Vietnam war the basic design of the fatigue uniforms was changed. These
modifications include the straightening of the top front pockets, the camouflage pattern was
produced slightly darker, the pockets on the jacket did not have as much ability to expand
because they were cut in a different manner.
It is interesting to note that the rip-stop material remained the same as that used during
the Vietnam war.
