A classic piece of American surplus. The entire range of M81 woodland gear is always a renowned piece, made to excellent US Army standards. These coats saw use across all branches of the US army for a number of decades. Even now the basic combat uniform used stems from the design of these jackets and usually use a similar material.
The design of US BDU jackets is pretty handy, having 4 button pockets and adjustable cuffs for when you need to insulate or roll your sleeve up to cool down.
As for the camouflage, the jacket is made up completely of the US M81 Woodland colourway, an excellent pattern that saw use across the globe! It went onto inspire numerous patterns over the following decades, both within various militaries and the commercial market. Even today, you'll find a select few countries using a M81 variant thanks to its fantastic concealment capabilities and adaptability throughout most temperate climates.
