Country of Origin United States of America First developed during the late stages of the Korean War, the iconic reversible Mitchell camouflage featured a green leaf "summer" side and a brown cloud "winter" pattern — a huge Cold War-era advancement in camouflage theory. Originally adopted in 1953 by the United States Marine Corp as shelter halves, the Mitchell helmet cover debuted in 1959 and became a staple for both Marines and Army troops in Vietnam. Designed for practicality, early versions included shallow-cut flaps (later modified for easier strap access) and buttonholes for attaching natural foliage. Today, this legendary cover remains a favorite among collectors, reenactors, and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate its rugged heritage and timeless camouflage utility. These iconic helmet covers arrived to us an a large batch kept in somewhat rough conditions, but cleaned, and ready to be utilized again as an outstanding piece of kit for Vietnam War re-enactors, or as a finishing touch on a Cold War militaria display!
