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 coolPosted ImagePosted Image

Cap Camouflage Pattern I

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?Posted Image

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.

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
