I mean he might've bought it when he was in the service but that was never standard issue.

Do you know what he did in Germany? Like others are pointing out it’s a non-standard item.

I’ve been issued non-standard uniforms for weird jobs, so I’m not inclined to automatically write you off, but it had to have been something unordinary

Honestly I have no idea besides being an army engineer once he got restationed. I wish I could ask him all these questions but unfortunately he is no longer with us short of using a quija... even then knowing my uncle it would have to government approved

Check out the clothing label OP posted in the comments. It doesn’t have identification numbers like modern gear, but I will say it does have a similar look to it. The NATO sizing on the label is interesting.
