Email us about this product

The Army's first pattern utility shirt was standardized in 1958 and replaced the near identical utility jacket. It was made from olive green (OG-107) 8.5oz cotton sateen and boasted two patch pockets with straight cut flaps. The shirt also had an unusually low first button and no button cuffs.

Designed to be loose fitting, it was typically worn over a white T-shirt and was tucked into the utility trousers. Though the lighter and quicker drying Tropical Combat Uniform had been developed in 1962, three years prior to the introduction of U.S ground troops in Vietnam, the utility shirt and trousers were still worn by infantrymen early in the war.

The Southern European Task Force (SETAF) was officially activated on 25 October 1955, with temporary headquarters established at Camp Darby (which itself was not formally dedicated for another three weeks) and forces stations at Vicenza and Verona (the latter would soon become the location of SETAF headquarters). In 1958, the task force was redesignated the United States Army Southern Task Force, and from 2001 to 2008 it was classified as an Airborne Command.

superb

Perfect, and in excellent condition.

The jacket is perfect, honestly I didn't think it'd be in such great condition given how old it is. Service from the staff was excellent too, all my questions regarding care for the garment were answered satisfactorily. Delivery was also very swift.
