Uniform blouse crafted from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane), offering exceptional resistance to abrasion and tearing, while being lighter and drying more quickly than fabric made from 100% cotton. The Raid version utilizes a raglan sleeve design, where the sleeves are directly attached to the collar, eliminating shoulder seams.
Secured with buttons concealed by a flap, the blouse ensures high functionality thanks to its 8 ergonomic pockets:
- Two chest pockets fastened with buttons,
- One pocket on each shoulder, closed with either velcro or button,
- Two slim open pockets sewn onto the shoulder pockets,
- Two internal mesh pockets—one with a zipper closure, one open.
Each pocket includes loop handles for attaching equipment, reducing the risk of losing gear during operations. Elbow areas are reinforced with a double layer of fabric, forming pockets designed to accommodate foam protective pads. Cuff width can be precisely adjusted using velcro.
Above the chest pockets, as well as on the shoulder pockets and their flaps, velcro (hook and loop) sections are sewn on, allowing for attachment of various emblems such as a national flag, unit insignia, or Morale Patches, providing a personalized touch to the blouse.

Rhodesian Camo stands as an iconic camouflage design developed in the 1960s specifically for the Rhodesian Armed Forces, known today as Zimbabwe. Engineered for combat scenarios occurring throughout regional conflicts—most notably the Bush War (1964-1979)—the pattern was tailored for the terrain and environment of southern Africa, including arid bushveld, grassy plains, and sparse vegetation. Recognizable by a distinctive, hand-painted effect that mimics the look of brushstrokes, the camouflage features irregular, horizontal forms in green and brown tones set against a light green or sandy backdrop. Thanks to its three-color, high-contrast palette and an arrangement inspired by natural features such as leaves, twigs, and grasses, the camouflage expertly breaks up the wearer’s outline, offering effective concealment within thickly vegetated settings.
