True Vintage 1963 US Army OG-107 Utility Shirt | 2nd Pattern Singleton

Tagged Size: Small Regular (Tag Removed) 📏 Actual Measurements (Flat Approx.): • Chest Width: ~20 inches • Shoulder Width: ~18.5 inches • Sleeve Length: ~13 inches • Back Length: ~27 inches This OG‑107 Utility Shirt (Second Pattern) is an authentic U.S. Army issue garment, produced in the early 1960s (1963–64). The second pattern is distinguished by its concealed button placket, straight pocket flaps, and straight hem, making it a short‑lived transitional design between the Type I (1952–63) and the later Type III (1964–89). Although the original contract and NSN tags have been removed, the construction details confirm its authenticity. The shirt features durable cotton sateen fabric in Olive Green Shade 107, reinforced seams, and personalization with “U.S. ARMY” tape and collar insignia patches. The crossed rifles insignia identifies the soldier as part of the Infantry branch, the frontline troops who carried out patrols, ambushes, and search‑and‑destroy missions in Vietnam’s jungles. The rectangular rank patch indicates a junior enlisted grade, likely a Private First Class or Specialist, showing this was worn by a young soldier serving under direct command of NCOs and officers. Inside the left chest pocket is a pencil slot, a practical field detail used for maps and notes. The sleeves were hemmed during wartime service, a common field modification by soldiers in hot and humid climates such as Vietnam. Troops often shortened or tailored their sleeves to improve ventilation, reduce snagging in jungle terrain, and make the shirt more comfortable under gear. This alteration adds authenticity, showing how the garment was adapted for real combat conditions and reflecting the ingenuity of soldiers who customized their uniforms to survive the harsh environment. The OG‑107 second pattern is significantly rarer, as production lasted only about a year before being phased out. Surviving examples with correct construction details, wartime modifications, and identifiable branch/rank insignia are highly collectible among militaria enthusiasts and Vietnam War historians. ✔️ Details & Features 📌 Size Small Regular (Tag Removed) 📌 Olive Green Shade 107 cotton sateen fabric 📌 Concealed button placket (second pattern hallmark) 📌 Straight pocket flaps & straight hem 📌 Reinforced seams and military‑spec stitching 📌 “U.S. ARMY” chest tape 📌 Infantry crossed rifles & rectangular rank insignia on collar 📌 Pencil slot inside left chest pocket 📌 Sleeves hemmed during wartime service (field modification) 📌 Authentic Vietnam War era construction (1963–64) 📌 Excellent vintage condition — natural fading, no structural flaws 🏷️ Price: ₱3,980 📦 Free Shipping via Lalamove or J&T 📩 DM for detailed measurements or high‑resolution photos 📌 All items are pre‑loved / vintage.
