This auction is for a genuine vintage US Air Force OG507 Dura-Press utility shirt in size 17.5x34. What's interesting about this particular jacket is that it has been modified to short sleeves (which is why the size has a sleeve length, but there are no long sleeves). The name tape has been removed from over the right pocket but it still has the original US AIR FORCE printed tape over the left pocket. In addition, it still includes all of the original vintage patches, including the obsolete Master Sergeant subdued rank on both sleeves, a Military Airlift Command patch on the right pocket, and (obsolete) 514th Military Airlift Wing (now the 514th Air Mobility Wing) patch on the left pocket. The OG507 utility jacket is basically the same as the Third Model OG107 in a slightly different shade of green, and they overlapped temporally, both being in common use through the 1970's into the 1980's. The Third Model OG-107 is the version that most people are familiar with and can be split into two categories based on time of manufacture and material. This model was specified at the very end of 1964 and was still the standard 8.5 ounce cotton sateen. However, due to the changes and production / distribution time, they are not really seen until 1966. The Third Model maintained all of the key distinctive style features of earlier models, such as the pockets, etc., but they have some key differences. The two shirt chest pockets received a pointed pocket flap. The shirt also received a button cuff at the wrist. The buttons were changed to the "standard" dull plastic button as used on jungle fatigues (and later BDU's). The shirt also adopted the "true measurement" sizing style. For example, the shirts were marked in neck size and sleeve length (16.5" x 34" would show a shirt with a 16.5" neck and a 34" sleeve length). The second category of this model as mentioned above came in to use in the mid-1970's and was in production until being replaced by Woodland BDU's . This second category was created when the material was switched from 100% cotton to a 50/50 blend of Poly / Cotton. These mixed OG-107's are often referred to as "Dura-Press" due to the fact that they do not require extensive starching and they can often be quickly identified by a yellow tag in the garment. This shirt is in excellent used condition, with no rips, holes, tears, or stains. This would be an excellent addition to any vintage uniform collection. Check out my feedback and .
