The duck hunter camouflage pattern has its roots in its adoption by the U.S. military during World War II. Originally known as "frogskin," this practical design features large, irregularly scattered spots that blur the outline, allowing it to blend seamlessly into nature.
After the war, its use spread not only to the military but also to civilian hunting wear, and it became an item that was also known as the "Duck Hunter"! Incidentally, the name "frogskin" is said to have originated from the fact that soldiers swimming from the sea onto land during amphibious landings resembled frogs.
I'm really drawn to the sense of style that goes into giving things names like this!
This product is reversible. The front features a subdued duck hunter camouflage pattern, while the back has a more faded, vintage-like finish. The deliberate fading process gives it a heritage feel.
The reversible design itself is a detail that originally originated from hunting wear.
Duck hunters had to use different camouflage tones depending on the season and vegetation, as they would ambush their prey near bodies of water such as lakes and wetlands.
Therefore, reversible designs with different tones on the front and back were created.
Furthermore, as a detail unique to reversible designs, the pocket designs are different on the front and back. The camouflage side features a pocket with a flap. These practical details prevent items from falling out while also giving the bag a rugged, hunting-wear-like feel.
On the other hand, the reverse side features a simple patch pocket without a flap. It creates a clean and refreshing impression, allowing you to enjoy a lighter and more agile style. Furthermore, the relaxed silhouette is another characteristic unique to deck shirts. Originally designed for deck work, it features a design that prioritises ease of movement.
