Description
- The herringbone twill utility uniforms adopted by the U.S. Army since World War II continued to be worn even after the Korean War began. However, in the harsh winter climate of Korea, combat uniforms with superior cold protection became necessary, leading to the development and adoption of the M-51 field jacket and M-51 parka. Following this development trend, the OG-107 utility uniform was introduced. Made from thick sateen fabric, it featured flap pockets on both chests, with a pen holder inside the left pocket. The collar, without a neckband, was typically worn open, leaving the top button undone. An early model feature was the "shirt sleeve" with cuffs. From the second model onward, it changed to a "tubular sleeve" without cuffs, a specification altered with mass production in mind. - This model is a reproduction of the patched utility shirt John Lennon wore during his appearance on the TV program "The Dick Cavett Show." The shirt John selected from a surplus shop and wore was one actually worn by a real soldier. The soldier's name was "REINHARDT." It has the "Imijin Scouts" patch, indicating he belonged to the U.S. Army’s 2nd Infantry Division stationed in Korea during the mid-1960s and participated in reconnaissance missions in the Demilitarized Zone established near the 38th parallel. John Lennon’s stance of wearing military shirts became a symbol of his anti-war message and his singing of love and peace. - Material: Cotton Back Sateen (100% Cotton) - Made in Japan - Model Wearing Size: 16(L)（Height 180cm / Weight 71kg)
