The Buttons were made from Boiling Milk and Vinegar. The actual old way Billiard balls were first mad.
The Old OG was much heavier, I remember the New after few moths wear on the Butt and Front above the Knee.
Your left just with an oval patch of the first layer of the Material the other part disappeared.
That's the Best I can Explain.
In those times the Early 80s I had USMC BDU Issue Rip-Stop and USMC Webbing with mag pouches, butt pack, ect.
I remember in 77 I hated that CF. Webbing those thin straps after awhile were irritating and the Rattling from the Mess kite.
The pouches with those thin Velcro straps that attaches to the belt, in Winter would not close properly, lost few pouches on exercises.
Not counting the few pouches the plastic to lock the pouch snapped.
The CF. Winter stuff was superior to the US Gear in those times, especially the sleeping bag, I can assure you. Lolll
Piss Pots in those time all Same.
