This is an excellent reproduction ERDL Flight Suit made with our old Poplin ERDL fabric. The suit was made in the K2B style with Talon zippers and blackened snaps by Birdie Huang of US Country In Taiwan. The craftmanship is outstanding and every attention to detail was paid. The suit is marked a Large Short and measures 46 at the armpit, 41 at the waist tabs, 33 sleeve length, 28 crotch to ankle (the crotch sits low) and 60 collar to ankle. This is well suited for someone that is a short or regular length and will easily work up to 5'10". Unworn / Unwashed condition.
Incredibly nice piece and these were rare at the time when he made them 12 years ago. Thinning out my personal collection. Learn More
We have a small lot of vintage, American Red Cross Volunteer Uniforms as worn by "Donut Dollies" during the 1960's and 70's. These are not easy to find these days and these are actually in human sizes. We will give the label sizes below as well as the chest size measured at the arm pit straight across and at the waist. These are the correct, vintage style zip front with patch pockets. Two have later style volunteer patches (most of the Vietnam era dresses have a round shoulder patch) and one has no patch at all, but still has the original tag on the zipper. These would be great to display or to wear to a living history event.

After years of putting these uniforms together, we have finally decided to list them as their own item. This is the classic uniform for Lt. Col. Kilgore from Apocalypse Now. If you have ever felt the need to state your love for the smell of napalm in the morning, this is your chance!
SEE BELOW IN BOLD FOR DETAILS: The package includes our reproduction 2nd or 3rd pattern (poplin or ripstop) jungle fatigue coat and pants (in the stills you can see side take up tabs and the button for the gas flap.

Package also includes a brass buckle trouser belt and the following subdued insignia: Pin-On Lt. Col with Cavalry Branch, Kilgore and US Army Name Tapes, Merrowed 1st Cavalry Division Patch, Merrowed Ranger Tab, Senior Army Aviator Badge, Combat Infantry Badge, US Parachute Qualification Badge, and Subdued Vietnamese Parachute Qualification Badge (OD Star vs Yellow Star).

Jungle Boots, Reproduction. These are new made jungle boots by Rothco with panama soles, green canvas uppers and black leather. Overall they look pretty good, but they will not have the durability of USGI boots. That being said, they are perfect for reenacting. Available in whole sizes only. Imported.
* A note on fit: if you wear a half size, you will likely want to order down vs up. I have had several clients state these boots run a little large. Learn More
