My love for mitchell is well known, so it was a great treat to find this very rare variation. The cottage industry that sprang up around military bases in Okinawa saw the popularity of the 'shelter shirt' mitchells, and started to print their own versions, often with different patterns of camo and unique colours. This example features the okinawa vine leaf with a bolder colour than the shelter halves, and on the inside features a local version of beach frogskin, again with a slightly different brown/ochre tone. Needless to say, a very rare piece!
