This is a winter weight (or heavyweight) woodland BDU jacket in size Small/Long. It is in used, very good condition. It is slightly faded for the vintage camo look. This jacket has the desirable waist take-in tabs.
The first issue of woodland BDU's were widely unpopular in the U.S. Military. They were made of a 50% cotton and 50% nylon sateen, much like the field jacket. While extremely durable, these uniforms proved to be too hot for field duty in the summer. In the winter, particularly in Germany, when the uniforms got wet they tended to stay wet. Many U.S. servicemen preferred to remain in their OG-107/507 sateen "pickle suits" or jungle fatigues rather than adopt the new BDU. Nevertheless, the heavyweight BDU soldiered on with minor revisions and remained in service through the BDU era as a "winter weight" version, which was issued to every serviceman.
For those who like camo for fashion, the heavyweight BDU's drawbacks as a combat uniform are of little concern. The heavyweight uniforms do make good clothing for paintball or hunting. They are warmer in cold/dry climates. They are rugged and retain their color longer.
