This 1964 U.S. Military Poncho is an authentic Vietnam War-era piece, originally issued to American troops for multi-purpose field use. Manufactured by Electro Plastic Fabrics, Inc., it is dated June 19, 1964, and features a coated nylon construction (OG-207) designed for superior waterproofing.
 
Intended for versatility, this poncho serves as a rain garment, groundsheet, emergency shelter, or sleeping bag cover. Its snap closures allow it to be fastened together with other ponchos to create larger shelters. Unlike many surviving examples from this era, this poncho is in exceptional condition, with no holes, no noticeable stains, and fully intact coating—a rare find for collectors and functional users alike.
