Location: Pennsylvania, USA. #1. Posted October 21, 2012. I know what you’re saying; not another basic Army green class a uniform. This Vietnam uniform is a recent addition to my collection and I was excited when I found it as it has the original insignia attached. What really makes it special is the “beer can” DI’s.
Class A is the full Service Uniform worn with the Coat. Class B is the Service Uniform worn without the Coat. Class C is basically the summer Service Uniform without Coat, which is either khaki's or the short sleeve AG 415 shirt.

I think a good general rule of thumb is that black names stamped or embroidered on white tapes were first used on utilities with the black and gold US Army tape. Around 1966, they were ordered to be subdued and the name was stamped or embroidered in black on an olive drab tape.
UNIFORMS. I just got my hands on a 50-50 cotton/polyester blend overcoat with liner, OG-107. The FSN is 8405-261-6501, the DSA is DSA 100-4179. There is no manufacturer name that I can find. Size on coat and liner both is Med/Reg.
The caption says, "Enlisted woman in the Army green pantsuit issued in 1976 to women who performed military police duties and in 1977 to all enlisted women. The jacket and slacks were of a polyester wool gabardine. A white shirt with black necktab or a rib-knit gray-green turtleneck tunic was worn with this uniform.
In the field, "less was better". Minimalist Method: USARMY tape, name tape, unit SSI. Optional: Rank (at all), skill badges, combat patch (from previous unit/tour of duty). Rank and badges often were worn only on the headgear -- boonie hat preferrred -- and the soft caps got packed away when wearing a helmet.
