In the CIDG program, which the U.S. Army Special Forces "Green Berets" have commanded since the early 1960s, this beogam camouflage was worn by many soldiers from the relatively early days. This camouflage was originally copied from the frogskin camouflage pattern used by the U.S. Army in WWII, commonly known as Dug Hunter camouflage. This camouflage was locally made and procured in Japan, and the quality of the fabric and camouflage print is similar to that of the later Tiger Stripe. The quality of the fabric and camouflage print is similar to that of the later Tiger Stripes.
This shirt is unusually fitted with 13-star metal buttons, which were used by the U.S. military since WWII. Although there are lots of urea buttons in the beogum camouflage, it is assumed that there existed a variation that you can feel the remnants of the 50's cotton combat uniforms in the early 1960's. Even after the tiger stripe began to be used, the beogum was still used, and was sometimes worn at the same time as the tiger stripe. It has also been used in a variety of ways, such as with guerrilla clothing such as black pajamas, as camouflage clothing has been around for a long time. This shirt is a rare A-L size and was found on a former SF unit member's footlocker that we discovered. We also have a set of 13-star pants available. There is fading throughout, and as you can guess from the size tag, the shirt has been worn many times. The metal buttons have rust and other corrosion. The condition has a sense of use, but you can still enjoy them from the condition. Because it is a used item, returns are not possible. Please understand.
