TSPTR Aloha From hell Marine Jacket in Olive Poplin Cotton

In April 1967 the LA Free Press featured an interview with Californian surfer Jerry Shine. Titled ‘Aloha from Hell’ it followed Shine from his local La Jolla surf breaks to Vietnam via US Navy boot camp. Shine was a member of the China Beach Surf Club, an unofficial U.S. Military association founded in 1967 in Da Nang, Vietnam. It grew into a major cultural and therapeutic outlet for young G.I.s to surf during R&R away from the front lines of the war. What started initially as a small lifeguard outpost, grew into a major surf club with soldiers, including Shine, covertly shipping their surfboards in the States over to Vietnam.

Based on an authentic incountry made Vietnam War era USMC 'Sniper' jacket. The jacket almost has a classic Tennis jacket style with a fly fronted brass zipper and two large bellows style front utility pockets.

Constructed from soft Portuguese cotton poplin
