What you see here is a deadstock US Marine issue roll of “Mitchell Camo” – some others call it “Leaf Camo”, nevertheless this is the real deal or “The Real McCoy” as it were. It was used for helmet covers and some various other official US Marine issue gear from WWII thru Vietnam…anyway, back to the point. This is not a reproduction, or a copy. Pretty much any other company that uses this camo for a garment or product using this pattern that’s what you will get, a copy. Those who know, know that you will not find this anywhere else and the fact that it’s on a roll is extremely rare. It’s to be featured on a very limited collaboration with a very special footwear company dropping in Spring 2013…stay tuned for more details on this project. From your source for the true “Real McCoy” – LUDWIG VAN.

Some of my morning reading while doing the doo…essentials.

Sketched this Miles Davis picture a couple years back. I think it deserves a reprisal. Look for this in an upcoming season of LUDWIG VAN.

This is the CLOCKWORK CREW, everybody loves a nice soft vintage style heather sweatshirt! It features a half tone style four-color print of Beethoven’s headstone as it’s digitally mashed up with the hand and sicle from “A Clockwork Orange”…the colors are really cool but the feel and softness of this crew sweat is amazing!. It’s a salt & pepper tri-blend fleece that goes with anything from khaki’s to jeans to shorts and flip-flops. Perfect for the cool summer nights! This style runs true to size to make sure you order your real size! (that means it runs a bit slim, so to be safe order a size up!)
