Show Your MARPAT Uniforms

[jeremiahcable]

Thought I'd add a picture of me in Iraq in late '04. This is, as I recall, the start of an extended patrol. Worth noting is that like a lot of marines I wore my gear on the flak jacket. Colors as can been seen were a mix of what could be had.

Prototype Desert LL blouse and trousers, SM cover. New from 2000, never worn and was extra from the test/eval we did in Twentynine Palms.

Wore these in Iraq, and until I retired. Still wear the proto boonie cover on occasion.

Very interesting that a grayish blue was introduced into the pattern. Guess it was determined unnecessary in the production model.

I noticed something in my brothers set of desert marpats the other day, the pockets are actually made of tri color desert material. Probably nothing surprising to anyone but just something I thought was kinda cool

Is it an early contract? Like 2003 or 2004? I've seen woodland and desert marpat mccuus like that, 2006 contract UCP trousers with green pockets, UCP IBAs & accessories with tan interiors and velcro.

Just a guess, but does that read as a 2004 contract?

Yes

Does anyone have pictures / examples of the tiger stripe based pattern used in the initial MARPAT trials?

 

@kammo-man feel this might be something that is in your collection.

I've got a picture of a fabric bolt of the prototype desert tiger stripe, if that's something you're interested in I can send you a picture of it later on.

Found a woodland with pockets like your. 

[collector74]

There's one just for the sake of showing it. Its good camo but i think only when faded and there is too much black sometimes.

 

I had 2 MARPAT shirts and a jacket tailored like this for airsoft in Croatia. It was good at the time as it was full of local war vets- a lot of good things and different ways of doing things were learned that i never learned in the Canadian Army. Actually its why i added the pockets to have mags easily ready from what they said.

 

Shirts- snap buttons and pockets like a ww2 jump jacket/or Vietnam jungle jacket- with elastics on the top of the lower pockets (for mags dumping and holding/or recce work).

 

Jacket- same, but with a hood and inside lined with ww2 US scarf material.

 

 

Best Regards,

Pete

The pics with the woodland/desert pockets intrigued me as I have never seen that.  When I got home from work yesterday I looked in all mine and sadly all of my MARPAT is 'normal.'  I think that is very cool.

you get this too with 1990 desert kit mainly with uniforms made by wrangler , 3 colour desert pockets and waist bands on 6 colour uniforms  

[mysteriousoozlefinch]

Somewhat modified desert MARPAT with Velcro name tape and squares on the arm pockets. Turns out the name tape was in the chest pocket.  I believe the owner was with Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence Company, 1st Intelligence Battalion from some other scraps in the pockets.

Got this last year at a thrift store. Not sure if it was ever used though.

Bonjour

Voilà, et après quelques explications, j'ai trouvé un pantalon et une veste, tous deux portant le nom du même soldat !
Au fait, serait-il possible d'en savoir plus sur ce soldat, son grade, etc. ?
Merci.

Bonjour là-bas en France ! Pardonnez-moi si l'anglais est faux, j'utilise Google Translate. J'ai recherché le nom et je pense que vous avez un uniforme original de l'USMC que quelqu'un en France a acquis pour le cosplay. J'ai trouvé sur Facebook un gars du même nom qui vit en France mais je ne crois pas qu'il s'agisse réellement de l'USMC.
