And yes, sorry to the guys that have seen it a million times already.

But it is my favorite.

While I am at it here is his BDU.

My two favorites DCUs from the same officer. I bought them from eBay last year. Cpt Duran had all his uniforms consigned for sale by an eBay vendor. Unfortunately, I missed his BDU.

Another forum member has some similar DCUs as well.

Note that Mr Duran made Captain and his BOS has changed from ADA to Signal Corps.

This time the DCU jacket is the modified version.

As some of you know, I have a weakness for modified jackets. This jacket was modified and used by a soldier in the 82nd Airborne. This jacket holds a special place of honor in my collection. This jacket (along with the pants) were found in a pile of surplus clothing. As you can see from the stains, this piece has been through Hell. All the modifications appear to be hand done by the soldier, as can be evidenced by the white thread used to sew on the sleeve pockets. I have his later DCU which has jump wings and a CIB. Hope you enjoy.

Here is my favorite, bought from a fellow forum member here! thumbsup.gif I have the guys pants to go with the jacket also. Both have the same service number, the pants are named to LT. Ivory. So I will replace the name tape soon, with the correct name!

Hi David,

 

would it be possible for you to find me a nice DCU with in-country made 101st SSIs like the one you displayed on post#1 ?

You can PM me.

Cheers,

Andrei

I icked these up recently at a base pawn shop. Unfortunately, all the patches have been stripped. However, I thought this was an interesting variation to the normal DCU. It seems that this fabric has been inpregnated with a sort of bug repellent (called BuzzOff) that is good for 25 washings. I believe these date to around 2001 time period. Anyone have any extra information about these jackets?
