For the Mitchell print, they used exactly such a privately sourced set from a Japanese production of the 1960s.

The non-standard pieces could then be purchased privately, for example, from small tailors in Okinawa, Japan. These were non-reversible and made of a lighter fabric.

Therefore small runs were printed for uniforms by private manufacturers. Since the original print and fabric was a reversible heavy canvas fabric for tent’s it proved to be too heavy and uncomfortable for uniforms. Special Forces units such as the 5th Special Forces. The Mitchell, which was also called the Leaf Pattern, has been just as popular with U.S. The use over time was not limited to the USMC. This Mitchell camouflage pattern was issued to the United States Marine Corps starting in 1953 in the form of tents and helmet covers. The shirt has a loose fit and is therefore ideal in a colder season with another shirt underneath, while the pants are made with a loose fit too, and a button fly. Both styles proved themselves in the field especially because of their ruggedness and comfortable fit. With slight modifications, the shirt remained in service until the early 1980s. The first ‘Type I’ model was issued to troops in 1952 and remained unchanged in shape and cut until production ceased in 1963. The shirt and pants were originally part of the regular field uniform of the American armed forces from 1952 to 1963. I’m wearing the brand’s 1962 OG-107 shirt and pants. Released their Mitchell pattern camouflage styles for this summer.
