Condition Details:
• Fabric: Authentic 1968-era ripstop Cotton Poplin. The fabric retains its original factory sheen and vibrant OG-107 color.
• Unwashed: This jacket has never seen a washing machine. It still retains the original \"long tails\" of factory thread dangling from the seams—details that are instantly lost after the first wash.
• Crispness: The material is stiff and \"snappy\" to the touch.
• Markings: Features original period handwriting on the manufacturer label - possibly a classic laundry mark, indicating it was processed for issue but tucked away as a spare and never worn.
• Note: As it was pulled from a decades-old footlocker, it has a slight vintage storage scent that will naturally dissipate with air.

• Top (Neckline) to Bottom: 31”
• Shoulders: 19.1”
