MPage Posted February 10, 2014 Share #26 Posted February 10, 2014 I wanted to add to this thread, rather than start a new one. This is an image of someone in the US Army in a Signal Corps unit who served in Germany n the early 60's. He appears to be wearing Flecktarn or something similar. I'm not sure if it was the West Germans or Austrians that wore Flecktarn at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craftbox Posted February 12, 2017 Share #32 Posted February 12, 2017 Not sure if this fit's here, but I recently acquired an odd shirt on ebay. Its a OG107/Utility shirt in the BGS Sumpfmuster Pattern. Has the same buttons, pocket layout, and even the same size as a OG507 durapress uniform I have! No clue what the origin is; Info on the tag doesn't bring anything up on google. The material is too thin to be surplus/german fabric. I'm guessing its some sort of civilian hunting shirt, but this sure is an odd pattern and uniform to combine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just theorizing here but maybe the factory that made the OG-107 shirts somehow acquired a bunch of the German material on the cheap and just used the same dies/patterns (would they have had computer driven equipment then? I wouldn't think so but I don't know) to make some commercial shirts, using excess buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo2zero Posted February 19, 2017 Share #36 Posted February 19, 2017 Germans also trialled 2 colour/shade variants on US woodland camo before they settled for the flecktarn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a textile sourcer in the Far East a long time ago I came across a roll of this material (or similar) in one of the seconds textile shops. It wasn't the german stuff which was thicker and printed with better detail. I would say some of this stuff ended up being made into Libyan Army uniforms (or were perhaps the leftovers from that contract). I still have a sample swatch I cut from the roll somewhere ...
