NetherlandsRoyal Netherlands Army (Royal Netherlands Army)is the land arm of the Dutch Armed Forces, founded in 1814, but its origins can be traced back to the founding of the Staatsleger (Dutch Provincial Army) in 1572, one of the first modern standing armies. The Dutch Standing Army is considered one of the oldest armies in the world.

It participated in the Napoleonic Wars, World War II, Indonesian War of Independence, and the Korean War, and participated in NATO on the front lines of the Cold War in West Germany from the 1950s to the 1990s.

This item was primarily worn as a uniform by the elite Army Special Forces (KCT) of the Royal Dutch Army, and was only allowed to be worn by a limited number of soldiers.

As mentioned earlier, KCT (Korps Commandotroepen) is an elite special forces unit of the Royal Netherlands Army.
This unit is said to have its origins in 1942 during World War II, when it was organized under the name "2nd Dutch Unit", and then in 1950, "The name "KCT" was officially adopted and continues to this day.

This unit is tasked with carrying out all kinds of special operations, with its main missions being direct action, special reconnaissance, military support, and counter-terrorism.

That kind of thingIt was named by the Royal Netherlands Army because its soldiers looked like frogs when they were swimming.Introducing a field jacket that uses "Frogskin Camouflage" throughout.

"Frogskin Camouflage" is one of the camouflage patterns that began to be widely used by the US military in 1942.
It came to be called "frogskin camouflage" because when soldiers swam ashore during the Normandy landings, they looked like frogs.
In Japan, it is also called "duck hunter camouflage".

This camouflage pattern is characterized by a ``Jungle camouflage pattern'' printed on one side, which is mainly composed of 5 colors of green, and a ``beach pattern'' printed on the other side, mainly composed of 3 colors of brown.

Although this item is very similar to the frogskin camouflage used by the U.S. military, it is not reversible and has only one side, and the camouflage pattern is slightly different.

Netherlandskingdom landThe frogskin camouflage used by the military is also known by some collectors as ``jelly bean spots,'' and is generally dark green, olive green, reddish brown, or brown on a pale green or tan background. and consists of pinkish-brown spots.

The camouflage pattern is unique, but the details are very simple.

The only thing that stands out is the large flap pockets placed on the left and right fronts.

The front has a double structure with a front button fastening.

The inside of the front is similar to American military items such as "USMC P-44".A gas flap is also included, and you can see that not only the camouflage pattern but also each detail has been influenced to a large extent.

The gas flap that comes with the US military is originally sewn together, but this one has a button fastening type, so it can be easily attached and detached.

Another nice feature is that it has a short length, which is rare for military items.
The camouflage pattern has a strong impact, so by making it shorter, I think the overall look is cleaner.

Since the length is short, I think you can enjoy layering it with an inner layer.

Of course, I think it would be nice to enjoy vintage items together,Personally, I think it's the perfect item to wear as an accessory for more formal styling, such as a tied-up style.

In addition to its rarity,Even when you look at it as a fashion item, I think it's a very cool piece, so please feel free to wear it.

There are probably many people who are seeing it for the first time, as there are very few of them in existence, both domestically and internationally.

Size notation is "50"
I think it corresponds to "L ~ XL" in Japanese size.

Even if you look at the actual size, it will feel like a large size, so even people with large bodies can wear it without any problems.I think it will look great whether you wear it as just the right size or oversized.

There are some signs of use such as fading, but there is no major damage that would make it difficult to wear, so I think you can still wear it.

Although there are many military items, there are few opportunities to appear on the market, and it is an old model.Royal Dutch Army item.
There are also a certain number of enthusiastic fans.As it is from the Royal Dutch Army, it is definitely a coveted archive piece that collectors will not want to part with.
