Jungle Boots, 3rd Pattern, Vibram Sole. These are excellent reproductions made in Germany by Pike Brothers. Excellent quality and eye for detail, these boots are made like the early 3rd patterns without the spike protective plate. The boots are made on a wide last, and are available in whole sizes, 8 through 13. As they are a wide, they run a little larger than a regular width. If you wear a half size, drop down vs ordering up. The original mesh "do not boil" insole could not be reproduced with satisfactory results so it was decided to just not include an additional insole. By having the wide last, this will allow you to put whatever insole is most comfortable for you (for example any of the store brand, Dr Scholls, etc). The the market on original Vibram sole boots breaking the $350 a pair mark, why risk a mint pair having soles that crack or destroying a piece of history.
This is a new run! Improvements have been made to include thicker leather and nylon, new mil-spec nylon and improved dye lots / ink stamps. The first run looked good and help up well, but these look even better (and size 13 was added)! Learn More

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.

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.

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.
