Hunter Group Bush Jacket

Hunter Group Bush Jacket -

The Hunter Group was an early, counter-insurgency unit trained in
guerilla warfare, patrolling, tracking, bushcraft, and intelligence
gathering. The unit was formed in 1968 and was probably the first unit
in the SADF to be issued specialized camouflage clothing. The Hunter
Group was disbanded in 1976 and integrated into the Reconnaissance
Regiments.
As there was no specific industry for producing camouflage military
clothing in South Africa at the time, all Hunter Group uniforms were
produced by private firms. The designs were unique and were never
reproduced, and most items have commercial-style tags. The 1st pattern
Hunter Group camouflage features blotches of grass green, light brown
& yellow ochre on a sandy background.
2 top pockets closing with buttons, 2 open pockets, 1 pocket on each
arm and on every side a button and flap that is similar to a
"slangvel".
