A classic piece of retro British surplus that has been a staple for decades. Originally being general issue to the army, these shirts lasted until the late 2000's when a new design and colourway replaced the classic DPM pattern. The shirt is made of a cotton blend and is pretty durable. Great as a base layer or jacket.
The design has a few handy features, like a zipper and button closure for particularly windy days, as well as adjustable cuffs which really help to insulate even a jacket as lightweight as this one. There's also 2 chest pockets which can be buttoned shut.
For the camouflage it is the renowned Disruptive Pattern Material camouflage, better known as DPM. This is a camouflage that not only lasted decades, it went on to see use right across the globe in over 40 countries, many of which, still use DPM or a variant to this day.
