America needed its first widely used, disruptive camouflage pattern and the Army found its designer in the unlikeliest place — Norvell Gillespie, garden editor of Better Homes \u0026amp; Gardens, who studied the way sunlight breaks apart through leaves and turned it into fabric. Five colors on one side for the jungle. Three on the other for the beach. The troops looked at the spots and called it frogskin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarine Raiders were among the first issued it in the Solomons. Texans weren't far behind — in December of '43, cavalrymen of the 112th, Texas National Guard, hit the beach at Arawe, New Britain in frogskin camo and raised the Texas flag over the Pacific. Even the command running the show carried a Texan name: Krueger's Alamo Force, and his legendary Alamo Scouts — 106 missions behind enemy lines without a scout killed or captured, and in frogskin and other uniform along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the war ended, and the pattern came home. Countless yards of it, stacked to the rafters of every Army-Navy store in the country, selling for pocket change. Texas hunters knew a good thing when they saw one. It filled the duck blinds on the coast, the dove leases in September, the deer camps in the Hill Country — until the pattern built for the jungle earned a postwar civilian name: duck hunter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis frogskin camo hat utilizes a Lone Star Beer logo used in 1940 \u0026amp; 1941 and never seen again until this hat. \u003cstrong\u003ePreorder yours now--ships last week of September!
