Patrick. Posted January 11, 2009 Share #251 Posted January 11, 2009 Hello all, just been searching through some old shots of mine and realised that i had not posted this item here. It has been shown elsewhere, but i think this is a fitting thread for its inclusion too. My locally made flight suit. Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some extra shots of the beret that need to be resized to forum limits, i will post them soon. Owen, watch your inbox. Copran, the suit is basically a fully functional garment, i would imagine it was worn as an operational item and not as a party suit. I have some higher resolution shots you are welcome to if yourself or Jerome would like to PM me your e-mail address, you will then be able to see the level of work and detail that went into this garment in much better detail.

kammo-man Posted January 12, 2009 Share #256 Posted January 12, 2009 P You are a real champ . Thanks for the Beret shots . One of the best I have ever seen . Also in my mind one of the most difficult pieces of Vietnam headgear to find . There are copies out there but they dont even come close to your top shelf Beogam beret . Thanks for sharing Pactrick .

Patrick. Posted January 14, 2009 Share #259 Posted January 14, 2009 Owen, i know it drives you nuts....dig around in your warehouse and find me a left hand. Here are my beret shots that i mentioned in an earlier posting, the beret is partially lined in the crown,and is a mid-weight material. Of note is the fairly uncommon maker. The interior of the beret also has a reinforced area of the typical type for a beret flash. Patrick. A pattern overview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filupe Posted January 17, 2009 Share #261 Posted January 17, 2009 A set I picked up at a local dealer a few years ago. Not being fully conversant with 'beogam' these, however, looked old enough and significantly different to recent commercial 'duckhunter' stuff. I suspect that this garment maybe period Hong Kong made for the commercial market and am wondering whether there any documentation of 'beogam' jumpsuits being used for anything other than aviation purposes. The only tag is a gold 'L' on black bevo woven size label in the lapel. As always, comments/observations are welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted January 17, 2009 Share #262 Posted January 17, 2009 F Your suit looks great . Fade ,colors and pattern .

Patrick. Posted January 17, 2009 Share #265 Posted January 17, 2009 Hello Jerome, many thanks for the additional information on my items and the kind words, i have added the details to my notes and it is much appreciated. I have been lucky in the last few years to be able to add a few interesting Asian made examples of this kind of camo as a supplement to my US produced commercial versions. Here is another quick addition to the thread. Again, if a member wishes higher resolution images for their own use, feel free to contact me. I have more shots of details of the print,bleed through, construction etc. Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copran Posted January 17, 2009 Share #266 Posted January 17, 2009 Patrick, Again, you kill me (and probably Jerome too ), a Beogam shirt made in ARVN cut, is it a Tailor made or issued items ? any stamp on the collar ? the buttons and the pocket make me think it is like an issued shirt. Could you show the back ? do you have a pants ? Thanks a lot for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick. Posted January 18, 2009 Share #268 Posted January 18, 2009 Hi Copran, I will take a photo of the rear of the shirt and post it later on today (Sunday). The shirt is devoid of any markings that i can see. Sadly i do not own trousers in this pattern, an item i will be searching for in 2009! I am unsure if the shirt is an issue item.....your points on the pockets and buttons are very good ones however. I will post an interesting little period photo later also, which shows an item made from fabric very,very close to this pattern. Patrick. PS. i will mail you some detail shots too.
