Замечу, меня сильно удивило использование джинс для длительных пеших переходов, да еще в условиях тропического леса и болот. Двойные швы сильно натирают. Но, я так понимаю, все остальное на снабжении SEAL в тот период было еще хуже.
"Retired Captain Rick Woolard, who commanded two SEAL platoons in Vietnam, told me via the The National Navy SEAL Museum, “I tried Levi’s and did not find them as comfortable or functional as jungle cammies, but did not object to my men wearing them. New jeans were pretty stiff, and you definitely wanted a pair that was well broken in.” He suggested blue jeans were more of a “style points” thing, like bandanas, beards, and long hair."
