My guess on the returning Nam Vets is that the last thing they would want to be reminded of was their uniforms. Don't forget how poorly so many of them were treated upon their return

Harvest Gold, Coppertone, and Avocado Green were the popular appliance colors back then so earth tones were definitely in fashion.

Very true. Fathom Green was called fatigue green. And after seeing mostly everything green, it truly was the last thing you wanted to see.

Yup - ordered my 69' W-30 442 while I was at Phan Rang, RVN. Black with white guts and gold stripes. Picked her up in Green Bay Feb 69'.
