Historical information

The "black pyjamas" were a standard, everyday outfit worn by Vietnamese workers and farmers that provided lightweight, breathable comfort in the harsh jungle climate. They were adopted by the Viet Cong (National Liberation Front) guerrillas as an unofficial uniform during the Vietnam War. This allowed Viet Cong fighters to blend seamlessly into the local rural population.
