Dreamer42 Posted October 14, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 14, 2019 I had one a few years ago that was dated 1953 that I sold. I regret it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivedrab1970 Posted October 14, 2019 Share #5 Posted October 14, 2019 I have never been a big fan of the Mitchell camo but, I like the shelter half for sure! I have been keeping my eyes open for one as well. R.D. Semper Fidelis- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Ziegler Posted November 1, 2019 Share #6 Posted November 1, 2019 It’s Mitchell pattern camouflage. Used in the Vietnam War Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I've never met anyone that can explain to me the origin of the term "Mitchell pattern". It seems that someone pulled this terminology out of their 6 o'clock and everyone bought into it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up Melton Mitchell and his work in developing camouflage patterns for the military Here's a short video uploaded Sep 30 2019. So very recent.
