Only One Set Available. The Viet Cong were a guerilla force that fought against the United States and South Vietnam during the Vietnam conflict. Viet Cong could be a farmer, a woman, or a child and they were indistinguishable from the United States' South Vietnam allies. They used makeshift weapons, had a variety of uniforms, and avoided traditional combat, making it difficult to know who exactly the enemy was. Their orders came from the North Vietnam Communist party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Vietnamese peasants, wearing black clothing while working in the field was perfectly normal since it would hide all the inevitable dirt that came with working in a rice field. For a guerilla soldier that wanted to blend in with the population, wearing the most common outfit was a natural choice. Along with these \"black pajamas” they would wear a black and white checkered scarf and hat. This set comes with the scarce checkered scarf, and was almost certainly brought back as a set by a Vietnam Veteran. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a great set of Vietcong Black Pajamas, consisting of the shirt and pants and scarf. The black is well-retained without any missing buttons. The stitching on the set is well-retained and there are no markings we can find. A very small set which makes sense. Comes ready for further research and display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44157015261253,"sku":"ONJR25MHG049","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR25MHG049__01.jpg?v=1765227989","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-vietnam-war-vietcong-black-pajamas-uniform-set-shirt-and-pants-with-scarf-vietnam-veteran-bringback","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
