VIETNAM WAR ERA STYLE

FATIGUE / UTILITY UNIFORM

"TYPE III"

OG-507

USED BY ALL BRANCHES

The OG-107 was the basic work utility uniform of all branches of the United States Armed Forces from 1952 until its discontinuation in 1989. The designation came from the U.S. Army's coloring code "Olive Green 107", which was a shade of grayish green. The OG-107 was superseded by the Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) in the 1980s, and was also used by several other countries, including ones that received military aid from the United States.

"Type III" (1964–1989)
The "Type III" is the most common model and can be split into two versions based on the time of manufacture and material.

Cotton – This version was specified at the very end of 1964 and still used the standard 8.5 ounce cotton sateen. However, due to changes in production and distribution time, they were not really seen until 1966. This version maintained all of the key distinctive style features such as the pockets, etc., but with some key differences. The two shirt chest pockets received a pointed pocket flap. The shirt also received a button cuff at the wrist. The buttons were changed to the "standard" dull plastic button as used on jungle fatigues (and later BDU's). Another change to the trousers was the removal of the waist adjustment tab. Both the shirt and pants also adopted the "true measurement" sizing style – for example, pants were marked in waist and inseam length (32" x 34" would show pants with a 32" waist and 34" inseam) and the shirts were marked in neck size and sleeve length (16.5" x 34" would show a shirt with a 16.5" neck and a 34" sleeve length).

Poly Cotton blend – The second version of the Type III came into use in the mid-1970s and was in production until being replaced by Woodland BDU's. This model switched from using 100% cotton to a 50/50 blend of Polyester/Cotton. These mixed OG-507's were often referred to as "Durable-Press" or "Permanent press" as they did not require extensive starching and they could often be quickly identified by a yellow tag in the garment.

All versions of the OG-507 shared several basic design features. They were made out of an 8.5 ounce cotton sateen. The shirt could be tucked in or worn outside the trousers depending on the preference of the local commander. It consisted of a button front and two simple patch pockets on the upper chest that closed by means of a buttoned flap. The trousers were straight leg pants with two simple patch pockets in the front with slash openings and two simple patch pockets on the back with a button flap. The cotton versions tended to fade quickly to greenish grey while the poly-cotton variant used in the Type III stayed darker much longer.
