Recently added to the collection is this incredibaly rare and documented "over the fence" uniform that belonged to CCC veteran Jim Jones-Shorten. The uniform shows typical SOG modifications including moving the upper pockets to the sleeves and the lower pockets to the chest along with a sprayed camo pattern. The trousers are held up by a dyed black muslin bandage and show residue of tape to the trouser leg where they taped up during missions.
The uniform can be seen being worn by the veteran in the signed photo below as well being held at the 2009 Special Operations Convention in Las Vegas. More items from the veteran can be found here: modified boonie and dyed base jacket. We also have an interview with Jim here.
