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
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.
EXC Used Condition, Marked Size 16. Measures 19" chest and 17" waist. Patch on Chest.
EXC Used Condition, Marked Size 14. Measures 20" chest and 19" waist. Patch on Chest. (it is the biggest even though marked smaller than the 16)
NOS. Unissued with tag. Marked Size 10. Measures 18" chest and 16" waist. No Patch, includes neckerchief style head cover. Learn More
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
This is a private purchase Duck Hunter Pattern "Cowboy Hat." This style boonie features a snap on side to allow one side to have the brim snapped in the upright position. This particular hat is really cool with the cheesy" plastic vintage chin cord and a deep crown. The chinstrap is bright green plastic with a leather keeper. The side snap to hold up the brim has pulled out of the hat, but this again is a testament to the use put on the hat. There is a label that says 73/8 but in staying with the owners size, it fits much smaller. I would estimate it to be a 7 to 71/8 lie the others. Like many other SEAL items we currently have listed, this came from the estate of a retired SEAL CDR. The photo in the listing is one of his team photos and you can see this type of hat being worn among the several styles shown. Note the deep crowns in the photo and this hat reflects that style.
Buyer will receive a PDF document that I put together covering the owner's US Navy career. The bio packet includes his Naval Academy Diploma, Commission in the Navy, Promotion to Commander while in Naval Special Warfare Unit Two, ID while serving in the Middle East, a great team pic in boats, and best of all, his hand written application to be a Foreign Service Officer after his retirement. This document has page after page where he outlines his entire career in the Navy to bolster his application as a Foreign Service Officer. Learn More
Utility Cover, OD, USN. Officially categorized as "Cap, Utility, Cotton, Sateen OG-107." This is the standard US Navy "cover" used during the Vietnam War and through the 70's before switching to a Poly / Cotton Blend. We found several covers in the estate lot of the SEAL CDR. that we recently acquired. We have two with tags listed separately but this is the only cover that is named specifically to the SEAL from his younger days. On the underneath of the brim, the cover has "LT. NELSON" written. He would later retire as a Commander (O-5) and this would be from his earlier days as a LTJG or LT (O-2 / O-3). The condition is VG used; it has more fading and creasing than the other hats, but clearly it is the cover that he preferred to wear as evidence by the name underneath. I do not know the exact size, but it fits like a smaller cover. I would call it a SMALL maybe a Medium with some shrinkage.

These shorts are great! From the estate of a retired Commander (O-5) who spent his career in the SEAL TEAMS, we have two pair of "custom" shorts. The shorts are made from 1980's OG-507 trousers (the Dura Press replacement for Cotton OG-107). The pants are marked 34 x 29 in the waist, but were tailored and measure 32 at the waist (16" laid flat) and the inseam is not a brisk 4" from the center seam of the crotch. Name tape over rear pocket. You see this style of shorts worn often in photos on firing ranges and training courses etc.

We have two pair of VG used condition Ripstop, Green Dominant ERDL Trousers from the estate of Commander Nelson. Unlike the OD Green Jungles, the ERDL Trousers DO NOT have name tapes sewn on the rear pocket, likely left sterile for wear in the field. These pants are a size Small Regular and were found with his other items. Overall condition is VG used showing fading and use. One pair has more fading, the other pair has better color but a small hole in the left thigh near the pocket.

We have some nice, unissued leather combat boots in size 10.5R. These boots are postwar dated, late 1970's to mid 1980's. The main difference between these and late 60's to early 70's dated boots are that they have the notch in the instep (so they flex better) and they lack the stitch on the back of the heel. Other than these differences, they are the same as wartime dated boots. These boots show some light storage wear from being in a box but will polish perfectly. The second model leather boots feature the direct molded ripple sole (vs earlier sewn sole). Vintage leather boots in good sizes have gotten hard to find lately! We found a small lot of these and have about a dozen pair in size 10.5R with varying dates / manufactures. Learn More
