Early GWOT SOF Issue Fleece Jacket (OEF Era) – Peckham / Military Issue – L/XL
Description:
Original U.S. military-issued fleece jacket from the early days of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). This is one of the early SOF-used fleece layers that predates the more common ECWCS Gen III system.
Manufacturer tag shows Peckham, a well-known U.S. military contractor.
This is a hard-to-find piece from the opening phase of GWOT—simple, durable, and extremely comfortable. Not something you typically see come up, especially with this kind of background.

Why it’s unique:
This comes from the transitional period before standardized cold weather systems, when SOF units were using a mix of issued and specialized gear. Pieces like this don’t surface often and are sought after by collectors and those familiar with early GWOT kit
