kammo-man Posted February 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 9, 2009 Hi all . I was at the Rose Bowl flea market yesterday ,Feb 8th , and came across Some Field pack covers in a test sample camouflage pattern . This is the SNOW MARPAT USMC VALIDATION Test 2007 pattern . The guy I got the covers from was selling a whole load of boots and was using the covers to carry the boots around in !!! From a distance the camouflage looked like a big plastic bag with the print half worn off . As I got closer the true pattern began to emerge . He was laughing at me when I wanted to buy the covers , but when I saw the test labels I warmed up inside . I was told he has seen the parkas and over-trousers and we will see next month !! This pattern is with background with 3 shades of grey in the usual pixled shapes . It looks great to me . I will post it tomorrow as my camera is on the blink today . Has anybody else seen or heard of this pattern? The covers were manufactured by Standard MFG ,Co W911Qy-06-D-0010 Thanks and I will post the images tomorrow owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Graffiti Posted February 9, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Owen, it's weird, the picture comes out like an inverted negative. Nice example of a new camo. Have you ever seen the swedish camo used once by Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton I think, v. nice. Sometimes nice when used out of it's original context, no?

kammo-man Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share #17 Posted February 10, 2009 Guys take a ticket and get in line . Like I said this pattern is new to me only yesterday . You all know I am a vintage nutcase and have not been following the newer stuff to close , shame on me . My knowledge stopped when I got my Urban Tracks . Guess I have some homework to do . Lets see what happens . The guy I got this from is a used clothing dealer , he has No clue to military and laughed when I took the cover . Lets hope he wants to make a dime and hunts it for me . If he casually picked this up there has got to be more . I will keep you all posted . owen PS Thanks for posting the parka .B20 Also for the fantastic USMC photo . The handpainted set looks like the mark 1 Mitchell pattern . I can see twigs and leaves . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
