MAHARISHIKimono Purples Camo – Jungle: Light jacket with kimono clousure. The Camo Hanten blends Eastern and Western influences by modifying a U.S. Army field shirt with a Japanese Hanten collar and closure. Constructed in cotton poplin, it is hand-screen printed with the DPM: ARVN pattern – also known as ‘Purples’, ‘Bullet-proofs’ or ‘Bloodcake’ – a rare camouflage originally of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam circa 1968, but also worn by many of the U.S. Special Forces Advisors.
