Eastman Leather Company P-56 USMC Mitchell Camo Shirt Jungle Fade Size 40. This version is the more faded less green version.
Eastman Leather Clothing - Combat Collection:
"This version of the P-56 is the unofficial version in USMC Standard Pattern Jungle/Leaf (often referred to as ‘Mitchell’) Camouflage in a plain weave cotton for Special Forces in Vietnam."
I really wanted this piece to work because I love the pattern but it has a strange fit; broad in shoulders and chest but cropped in length and has short sleeve lengths. Cuffs felt quite tight when buttoned so I had buttons moved approximately a 0.5 inch forward for comfort. I have noted in pictures, when unbuttoned, one can slightly discern former button position but when buttoned, impression is not visible. Also, when I purchased this piece there was a small dark spot on sleeve, I have not tried to clean it and the spot is negligible.
I think the large interior pocket is a nice touch.
An expensive piece that is hard to locate new except on Eastman website and / or European vendors where it is priced at over $400
Taking a hit on this but looking to unload.
PayPal $169.00 - can do Goods and Services if more comfortable with that but would ask to split fee 50:50.
CONUS - $9.50.
Thanks for looking.
