The original US Army canopy we used to cut out our Camo Chute Scarf from, is of the smooth nylon type (1rst pattern) camouflage parachute.
Although the canopy is 100% authentic, by respect for the story behind legit paratroopers jump scarves we decided not to make a replica of an original with shredded edges. Instead we have adapted it a bit, overlocked the edges, added a (faint) blue ink stamp reminiscent of the original chute marking, and the “Sportsman” Made in USA label. They are still rough though, and are no Hermès square.
Each scarf is unique in shape and size, as we respected the original panel shape. We also left the original splicing of sections (the white stitching flat felled seams).
This vintage scarf was re-purposed in California by Mister Freedom®.
