Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted June 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2020 Jordan's King Hussein talks to US and Jordanian soldiers during exercise Shadow Hawk 87 in Jordan, 1 September 1987. DOD photo by PFC Prince Hearns. Strange camouflage, not sure who the Lt. Gen is. The man to the left of him is Ambassador Paul S. Boeker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easterneagle87 Posted June 12, 2020 Share #11 Posted June 12, 2020 In the first picture, does anyone see the similarity of Brit pattern desert camo? Almost a washed out version of them. General officers have a good deal of sway when it comes to custom stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share #16 Posted June 12, 2020 Owen Bit of a stupid question I suppose, of course they will test it! Since it was urban-t I was imagining a large scale test like Urban Warrior LEO2 Now I see the photos are of the tests, dress up the mannequin and get some observes to rate it. I have seen pictures of a reversible uniform in someone's collection. One side was the urban camouflage in your latest post and the other was woodland. I think I have also seen the same pattern in a natick photo on digital commonwealth but frustratingly I cannot find it now thanks for the pictures George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share #19 Posted June 13, 2020 The search took a little while but I finally found the topic I remember, and a few others which also show this camouflage they show one reversible blouse and two reversible trousers in collections, and the natick photo I was thinking of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOD photo by PFC Prince Hearns. Strange camouflage, not sure who the Lt. Gen is. The man to the left of him is Ambassador Paul S. Boeker. Seems like a "why bother" camo pattern. I mean, if you're going to use colors that are so similar to each other you might as well just make the whole thing in one color and save the money on "camouflage" dye. That uniform would be almost indistinguishable from an all-khaki uniform from a distance of more than 50 feet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinjmpr Posted June 13, 2020 Share #21 Posted June 13, 2020 The one thing I do like about that picture is that it shows how ill suited the 6 color 'chocolate chip' pattern DBDU was for the Middle East environment. It might work in the Mojave desert in the US but the Arabian peninsula is mostly just sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I have seen some Middle Eastern patterns that were very subtle in the color differences. It all has to do with the local environment and what you are trying to blend in with.

kammo-man Posted June 13, 2020 Share #24 Posted June 13, 2020 Os rly I was tasked to generate a camouflage pattern for the movie suicide squad and the action takes place mostly at night.The director wanted a night fighting pattern that blends to the dark shadows I took a few of my favorite drawings and Camo up with Bravoflage This was a result of many camera tests and color combinations Remember it was made to read a certain way on camera not real lifeThis took at least a week working with a graphic artist 10 hours a dayFabric tests Dye mixing Scale DesignRepeat length Cut Print Fit It’s endless Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
