    military surplus stores will have fatigue jackets

    picking one up from vietnam era would be pricier and probably have better luck in thrift stores/antique malls that specialize in war collectables

    I wanted one like that too in the summer and you probably wouldn't believe where I found mine...
    Walmart. I went to Walmart first out of all places just like "Meh, see what they got. I highly
    doubt they'll have anything like what I want, especially the vintage authentic look... but i'll give it a go."
    I walked in and looked at the coat sale rack and I nearly died.

    20 bucks @ Walmart. Who woulda thunk eh?
    I got a Texas badge recently ima gonna iron on here somewhere. Nevertheless i'm pretty happy with my find. Best of luck to you! I'm sure you'll find one.

    Another place to look is thrift stores, or antique stores. I know ones in Canada have vintage Canadian military jackets.

    That would be a 2nd division Indian Chief patch the Army still wears in South Korea.
