The Greatest Uniform Ever Fielded By The US Army

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

The Tropical Combat Uniform or as more popularly known, the Jungle Fatigue is the greatest uniform ever fielded by the US Army. The cut of the uniform was derived from the 1942 Parachutist Uniform with its angled chest and lower cargo pockets on the coat paired with seven pocket trousers. The OG-107 color blended well into the environment of Southeast Asia and the combination of light and shadow on the olive base of the uniform as the Soldier moved through vegetated areas provided good camouflage. Additionally, the jungle fatigue was made from one of two very comfortable cotton fabrics. Maybe not great for cold-wet environments but well suited to jungle and desert environ. Finally, they were inexpensive. As late as the mid-80s you could till purchase the uniform for around $8 a set at Clothing Sales Stores that still carried them. At that price, they were practically disposable but everyone who wore them wanted to hold onto them as long as possible.

Rangers!

We honor that uniform and some great Americans wearing it in this first official photo of 1st Platoon, B Company, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, taken in 1984. Taken from the 75th Ranger Regiment Facebook Page.

What’s your favorite uniform?
