Another item belonging to CCC veteran Jim Jones-Shorten that was originally dyed as an over the fence jacket when the inteligence was showing that russian advisors were wearing black uniforms. When this didn't play out Jim used the jacket as a base jacket with the addition of a bomburst patch. The jacket is a 1st pattern jungle jacket with the exposed buttons and you can see where his insignia was on the jacket before he dyed it, including his Special Forces SSI on the sleeve.
The boonie has to be the most modified example I have seen and has additioanl panels and trim added in denim.
The inform can be seen being worn by the veteran in the photo below and more items from the veteran can be found here: modified over the fence uniform. We also have an interview with Jim here.
