This is a genuine pair of Vietnam War-issue U.S. Army ERDL Camouflage Tropical Combat Trousers, dated 1968 and manufactured by Apparel Corp. of America. Issued in size Medium Regular, these trousers are made from 100% cotton wind-resistant poplin, ideal for the humid, rain-soaked environments of Southeast Asia.
These are the final-pattern cotton poplin jungle trousers, commonly paired with the ERDL jungle jacket used by elite units such as MACV-SOG, LRRPs, Special Forces, and Recon elements. This pair features the brown-dominant ERDL camo (a.k.a. Lowland), with more subdued olive and earthy tones.
Key design elements include large bellows cargo pockets, waist adjuster tabs, drawstring cuffs, and a lightweight breathable build, ideal for tropical operations.
