In the early days of the Vietnam war, the standard issue field uniform was the OG-107 uniform. A medium heavy all cotton simple uniform like most issued before it. It is the longest serving uniform the Army had. The pants are four pockets and the shirt has two breast pockets.

Boots where the standard black combat boots. In the case of my collection, boots are Corcoran black jump boots. You can see a pair of OD green wool socks and the OG107 baseball style cap and standard black cotton belt.

Used in the early months of the war, it was soon replaced by the superior jungle fatigues which are much thinner with more pockets and dries faster. You can see the use of the OG107 uniforms in We Were Soldiers.
