Packing to go to the Bahamas and my wife informs me that my favorite old tattered cammy shorts are a no go unless i want to go to 3rd world Bahamas jail. Is this legit? I'm tempted now, they are in the suit case.

Please send commissary credits and soap on a rope.

A very common rule in the third world.

Yes, it's true. Only military in a lot of places, to include the Caribbean, are allowed to wear camo.

Guess I'm strange I don't own anything camo that isn't used for hunting, and I refuse to wear it any other time.

Just not my thing, but to each their own.

Hell yeah, why would you not go someplace because of a fashion choice?

I would have never in a million years thought to check something like illegal clothing being born a raised free. It defiantly puts a new perspective on things.

I spend a lot of time in the Caribbean and Bahamas. I learned while I was scuba diving that they don’t like that.

Fuck ‘em, it’s not like they can see you when you’re wearing them.  Just find a matching shirt and some green and black face paint.

We went to the Bahamas in 2018. Just another third world shithole run by a certain demographic surrounded by beautiful turquoise water.

I can think of better places to spend my money.

Why is that a law?  Are they afraid you might be able to hide from tyranny in the jungle or something?

Certain countries you’ll want to avoid black or olive drab military looking backpacks as well. Black is fine some places where olive drab is not and Vice versa

Not unusual in former colonies, especially former British colonies. These were colonial laws that stayed in place in most cases. Some other countries adopted them due to issues with rebels or due to the governments being the product of revolution.

It's a law out here in madagascar as well.

But i see guys wearing fashion-y camo tshirts or pants they got from goodwill sometimes.

I can't imagine anyone stopping you for your clothes here. They don't even write speeding tickets.

I imagine it's more of a selectively enforced law. Like if you're doing something rebel-y and wearing camo they can tack that on to your other charges. Or of they just want to screw with you or get some extra cash at a checkpoint.

This. Camouflage clothing has a purpose. It's not a fashion statement.

This is a very legitimate question.  Green and brown patterned shirts with leaves or other plants printed might cross the line.  Does pink or orange camo count as camo?  

In the end it depends on whatever some corrupt official in a third world mud country decides when the opportunity to arises to extort money from a tourist.
