I passed-up on some repro Rhodesian "Splash" (might not be the correct term) camo "T"-shirts long, long, time ago, and have regretted it since. Came and went like a whirlwind, which makes me suspect they were SA originals. Seems like such a design might nowadays be "popular" with those who did not know their origin. As for myself, I have no problem with that.
I applaud intelligent collection, and subsequent, detailed, photos of various collected items. I hope that you will share with us the fruits of your collection. Doing so might benefit other collectors. |

My object, at the time, was to counter the "pixelated" camo trend. It seems that pixelated camo is no longer in favor...that said, it also seems that there are numerous first rate militaries making a transition to new camo. If one is a collector, there are few instances I can think of where the availability of first rate, little used camo is readily available. |

Been trying to find some Australian AUSCAM and AUSCAM Desert but I haven’t been having any luck.
Mentioning the Austrian "peas and dots" brings back some memories from my youth. I used to see the parkas all the time in surplus stores. After watching Navy SEALs recently, I wouldn’t mind finding some again. |

Surplus "Fern" pattern. Twill. I would say this is the same weight as US Woodland "winter" BDU's. The cut reminds me of 1950's era British military trousers. These have been made within the past 20 years or so though.  Surplus, noted by seller as "Para" pattern. Whatever that means. The fabric is not ripstop, but is a very lighweight twill. I'm guessing they are hot weather use. Same cut as the Fern pattern.

Very early Yugoslav camo, supposedly made in East Germany. It's referred to as the "mountain" pattern. Also has trousers, mittens, and a hip bag that can carry all of it. I have two sets of these.

The pattern is good, but, obviously, the Rhodesians didn't use the BDU-style. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Fireforce Ventures has Rhodesian brushstroke on modern bdu style clothes, but I dunno the accuracy. I have an old set from the late '80s that worked great in north Texas red dirt playing paintball, but it might be pretty faded. Fireforce also had some operator caps in Rhodie, they are awesome. Totally replaced my usual Multicam hat, nice and unique but modern style. Edit: my personal grail item of clothing would be the British PCS MTP smock, but in a good Rhodie pattern. |
