DPM: ARVN XL · Airborne Camouflage
These Trackshorts feature DPM: ARVN XL, a fantasy oversized version of the grailed Vietnamese camouflage.
The rare disruptive pattern worn by paratroopers of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and then adopted by some of the U.S. advisors to the ARVN. Their own U.S. uniforms were re-made in the Vietnamese pattern in local factories or tailor shops - in part because this helped show some solidarity with the ARVN, and in part because of the popularity of the pattern itself during the 1960s.

1960’s era U.S. Army cotton poplin, reproduced exclusively for Maharishi. This lightweight cloth was introduced when the U.S. were invited to advise in Vietnam, and required a lighter cloth suitable for tropical conditions.
