ehrentitle Posted October 26, 2014 Share #1704 Posted October 26, 2014 Nkomo, That's definitely a keeper. I especially like the theater made 10th Mtn Div (LI) combat patch. The Mitchell Special Forces DCU I bought for $2 with entirely theater made insignia. Good question, O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriorityOne Posted October 26, 2014 Share #1705 Posted October 26, 2014 Best DCU I've ever seen. Definitely agree, it's beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatz50228 Posted October 26, 2014 Share #1706 Posted October 26, 2014 nkomo, Are the two M's in the Pathfinder Badge deliberately there for Mitchell? If so, pretty cool personal touch that would only be available from the sew shops. Wade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo Posted October 27, 2014 Share #1711 Posted October 27, 2014 As I was looking at the 10th MTN Div patch on my DCU as opposed to a standard 10th MTN Div patch in desert, I noticed that my 10th patch has two prongs added to each bayonet.

MilitaryPicker1941 Posted November 8, 2014 Share #1712 Posted November 8, 2014 Here is most of my DCU/ DBDU collection. Up first is an ODS 6-color uniform top with an embroidered boonie that has his name and ran (Spc.) written inside along with "KooLe-Rock." The tapes are theatre made and the 2nd Support Bde. and 78th Id are standard issued.If anyone knows what "KooLe-Rock" is or means please let me know!

MilitaryPicker1941 Posted November 8, 2014 Share #1713 Posted November 8, 2014 This DBDU is from a soldier in the 35th Signal Bde. Unfortunately the uniform is missing a good portion of its insignia, and the theatre made tape has an ink stain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitaryPicker1941 Posted November 8, 2014 Share #1714 Posted November 8, 2014 Starting off with the DCU's is a 3rd ID uniform with direct embroidery above where the name tape used to be (need to translate the Arabic). The 3rd ID patch is theatre made while the rest of the sewn on insignia is just standard issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitaryPicker1941 Posted November 8, 2014 Share #1715 Posted November 8, 2014 Here is an Air Force DCU that has theatre made tapes similar to the ones on the uniform in post #1699. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitaryPicker1941 Posted November 8, 2014 Share #1716 Posted November 8, 2014 This Air Force DCU has a pair of theatre made tapes with a pretty unique/cool embroidery design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitaryPicker1941 Posted November 8, 2014 Share #1717 Posted November 8, 2014 My last Air Force M-65 DCU has a pair of tapes that are made from the same material as the one in the previous post, with the only difference being the embroidery design.

MilitaryPicker1941 Posted November 8, 2014 Share #1718 Posted November 8, 2014 My last DCU I have to show is is my Federal Air Marshal Service uniform with a pair of theatre made tapes that have both the English names and Arabic translations all in one patch! On the collar there are remnants of insignia which are probably from prior use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
