Show Your BDUs

[Tonomachi]

I saw a strange looking USMC woodland pattern camouflage BDU shirt today at the flea market. It has a different cut along the collar and instead of buttons utilize vertically sewn rectangular Velcro tabs for closure. The labels inside are all worn out and hard to read. Is this some sort of paintball BDU copy?

It's legit, but it's been modified. I can see a button hole in your picture, and the 4 dots pattern from where a button was stitched. The velcro is attached with black thread which is different than all of the rest because it was done after it was manufactured.

 

The collar is different because this is an early BDU with a 1981 contract. This style of collar is nicknamed "elvis collar" by collectors.

Those are the old school fly away collars. Left overs from the 1970s and the huge collars that were on most shirts and coats back then. Even some of the three color desert BDUs had those. In the 90s.

My BDU and helmet I wore with the 82nd in 77-78. I Rambo'd it up a bit with some ball and AP belts I loaded up, smoke, incendiary, and frags, machete, bayonet, etc...

Maybe one can help to identify the patches on this one? Love to wear it… Hopefully I'm not stepping on anyones foot by doing so?

Patch belongs to the 300th Military Police Brigade.  Does the other shoulder have a patch, we can't see in the photo.

[Sam Brasco]

Thanks.
The other shoulder is unpatched with no stitch marks. 
Do the patches on the collar have a special meaning?

The small collar patches are sewn on Specialist 4 rank.

Several years ago I was given a box of various uniforms including some BDU. The box included these two shirts with pants and a set of BDU overalls.

I bought this just before I got out of the army and wore it once maybe. I was just your average 11B and served one 3 year enlistment.

.......crappy photo from my tablet I know. Dug through the closet....this is all that survived from my time in the Army. Save for two OD field jackets and my dress greens. None of the pants fit. Funny how that stuff shrunk from setting in the closet for nearly 40 years. Most of these fell victim to becoming kids playthings. Much like my brother and I did with my fathers gear from WW2 and his AF reserve service during Korea.

Here are a few oddballs that I picked up recently.

First a couple of embroidered Sea Bee's.  Would have been great tagged but I still like them.  The different style embroidery is cool.

 

Next is a BDU with velcro, no lower pockets and a pocket on the left sleeve.

 

A pretty nice USAF.

 

 

Next is technically not a BDU but I don't recall seeing one before.  It's the only blouse I've seen a DRMO stamp on...

 

Army with some nice tags.  Wish the name tape was there

 

Odd chocolate chip.  The base color is a lot darker than I've seen.  Picture doesn't really show but it really is different.

Again not a BDU but cool

 Thanks for your time.

Whoa - do you know anything about this type?  I've never seen one of these.

[otter42]

I posted it on the forum years ago, but can't remember what was said about it, but it's legit.
