Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Working Uniform, 1977, Never Worn

Although I was not in the IDF, I was issued this working uniform in 1992. I just realized today, while taking these pictures, that the uniform was actually made in 1977. I was 6’2” and 210 lbs when they were issued, so I have marked this as XL, but the AI analysis below suggests that the 1/2 on the inside suggest S/M (the smaller of two sizes). They are a heavy cotton material. They have been kept in closets inside plastic boxes since 1992. Happy to answer any questions (although if it is still posted here, it is still available). I will cover slow shipping inside the U.S. $85 or best offer. Analysis from AI: - This is a very nice, complete vintage IDF fatigue/work uniform set from 1977 (Shirt + matching pants) Overall summary – what you have here This is a classic Israeli Defense Forces (צה”ל) fatigue / work / base duty uniform Nickname in Hebrew → “מדי ב’” (Madi Bet) or simply “מדי עבודה” (work uniform) Very typical style used in the 1970s – early 1980s Main characteristics of the set Shirt • Color → classic IDF khaki / tan / “mustard” shade • 100% cotton twill • Two large buttoned chest pockets • Shoulder epaulettes (without any current insignia) • Yellow צה”ל patch on left chest (very characteristic of that period) • Produced 1977 Pants • Same exact color and material • Very characteristic large cargo pockets on the thighs (with button flaps) • Normal back pockets • Big stamped צה”ל (Tzahal) marking on the right back thigh – very typical of 1970s fatigue trousers • High-waist military style, straight leg • Very strong and simple construction Very important – both pieces have almost the same label
