Purchased October 2024. Worn about 2-3 times, in very good condition. Product Description This jacket was custom-ordered by a U.S. soldier stationed in SOCTRANG, a city in southern Vietnam, in the late 1960s. It features a classic design with a tiger and the character "福" (fortune) on the chest, and a map of Vietnam on the back. However, the dragon on the sleeves is larger and more intricately embroidered than on other Viet-Jacks. The map section, while appearing to be the same colors at first glance, actually has its hues adjusted to match the body color, perfectly recreating the appeal of the matte embroidery unique to Viet-Jacks. VIETNAM JACKET Similar to the Sukajan jackets that originated in post-war Japan, the souvenir jacket known as the Viet-Jack emerged during the Vietnam War from the 1960s to the 1970s. Primarily made from cotton twill or camouflage poncho liners, the designs are embroidered with thick, matte-colored threads.
