Folkling Shop Update: A Military Education

I don’t know a lot about military vintage to be perfectly honest.

(Except, you know, USN wool sweaters and N1 deck jackets… I know about good stuff like that…)

But O has been teaching me and it’s been such a fun thing to learn more about.

We found this Vietnam Era Rip-Stop Jungle JacketGore-Tex USAF Type CWU 36/P Flight Shell & Liner Jacket and US Army Vietnam Era BDU Shirt a few weeks ago and finally got around to shooting and listing them in the web shop!

But my favorite part?

The 1970s matchbook and 1973 penny we found in the pocket of the jungle jacket. (Which will of course be left in there for you, or whoever the next owner of this piece will be)

Good clothing tells stories.

Find value in the pieces that have layers of them.


I envision these perhaps being the jackets that you buy for your boyfriend but then end up stealing and wearing more than he does… You know, as seen in the last photo. ;)
