US Army Vietnam ERDL Camouflage Shirt Size Medium Long

The US Army Vietnam ERDL Camouflage Shirt, Size Medium Long, is an original military-issue uniform top associated with American ground forces during the Vietnam War era. The shirt is made from a lightweight cotton blend fabric featuring the ERDL (Engineer Research and Development Laboratory) camouflage pattern, which was first introduced in 1967. The ERDL pattern consists of green, brown, black, and light green colors arranged in a disruptive design for increased concealment in jungle environments. Characteristic features include two chest pockets and two lower pockets, all with buttoned flaps, adjustable buttoned cuffs, and a front button closure. The cut is a Medium Long, indicating standard medium sizing with added sleeve and body length. Items of this type were typically worn by US Army personnel and some allied units. The ERDL camouflage shirt is a representative example of combat uniforms used during the latter years of the Vietnam War.
