Cut down BDU Shirt in Digital Green for Kilt use

[Gunny5711]

Thanks for the compliments & the concerns. The shirt is made by TruSpec & has no Marine insignia on it & never will. I was unaware that the camo pattern belonged to a branch of OUR service & wasn't asked for proof of being in the service when it was bought. If asked I will PROUDLY explain why it looks as it does & be willing to defend it if needed. Thanks again for your concerns

Personally, I don't have a problem with you wearing the jacket, even if it's the real thing. After all this is America. My problem comes from people misrepresenting themselves as something they aren't. Wear it in good health.

I once heard that the Marines borrowed the Canadian Army's Cadpat design - with a colour change - in developing the Marpat (not sure if is true). A thread on the history of recent camo design, now they are often used in modern kilts, would be interesting.

Gunny,
Completely off topic but you are 5711? I was too when I was in. Small world.
