A buddy of mine found this on-line and is flipping it to me. I was able to contact the current owner of Donovan Commercial Industries, Sam Donovan. He is the son of John Donovan who was a contributor to S.O.F. Magazine back in the day.   He was able to confirm that it was one of very few shirts put together for his guys for work and wearing at SOF conventions. Sam is going to look for some period pictures of this type of jacket being worn. The jacket is dated 1969 and of course it is a SMALL. Once I have it in hand I will post more pictures if anyone is interested.

It really depends on which era and what rank you wish to acquire. I don't think, I could give you a definite answer as to what to pay, as prices range and they tend to be more readily available in the US than, say, Europe for obvious reasons and therefor much cheaper :) Just my two cents :D   Kind regards, Jules

Not much to offer on this but MOLLE was a continued evolution even to this day.  Frame material, body structure and most important the stitching was always being upgraded based on use and feedback.  All I really remember about any I had was they had a draw-cord at the top and I used it for stuff I did not need right away.  Sorry, not much help. Also, OCP is the Multicam pattern that came out in 2011 ish.  UCP was the old digital as shown.

True.  The 100% cotton uniforms like these wore out fast and when ironed or pressed the buttons wore circles into the fabric.  I had several sets of the early 100% cotton BDUs sewn closed to keep them looking nice.

👍😁 I saw three of those on the highway the other day. Quite popular here in California. They are more popular than a Cybertruck.  OK, seriously, what the heck is it?  mikie

I’ve never seen this style of cloak before. Does anyone have a idea of what model it is

I don’t have one but I’m thinking about getting one. Can anyone give me a approximate value for a enlisted man’s dress blues coat and maybe the value of a dress blues visor cap and pants 

Lovely looking medal and in great condition too. Thanks for posting!  

Wow!! This is amazing!! Thank you so much and for the information! shall take a closer look.

Done so that the buttons don't show through when ironed. Same as sewing the pockets shut.
