Uniform shirt crafted from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane), offering excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing. The material is lighter and dries more quickly compared to 100% cotton. The Raid model utilizes a raglan sleeve design, with sleeves integrated into the collar, eliminating shoulder seams.
Front closure uses buttons concealed by a flap. Functionality is enhanced by the presence of 8 ergonomically placed pockets:
- two chest pockets secured with buttons,
- one pocket on each shoulder, closed with Velcro or a button,
- two flat, open compartments located on the shoulder pockets,
- two internal mesh pockets, including one with a zipper and one open compartment.
All pockets are equipped with loop holders for attaching gear to prevent loss during movement. Additional reinforcements are provided by a double fabric layer at the elbows, which also serves as a compartment for foam padding inserts. Cuff width adjusts easily using Velcro fasteners.
Velcro (hook and loop) panels are placed above the chest pockets as well as on the shoulder pockets and flaps, enabling the attachment of patches such as national flags, unit insignia, or Morale Patches, allowing customization of the shirt’s appearance.

Woodland, often referred to as U.S. Woodland or M81, represents a timeless camouflage design first adopted by the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s and derived from the earlier ERDL pattern. For more than twenty years, it served as the standard camouflage utilized by American military forces until the close of the first decade of the 2000s. Defined by its large, asymmetrical patches in varying tones of green, brown, beige, and black, the pattern ensures effective concealment and disruption of shapes, particularly in forested environments. Due to its proven performance and worldwide recognition, numerous adaptations have emerged, featured in over 60 military uniform variants globally. Its influence extends beyond military use, leaving a lasting mark on popular culture as it transitioned into mainstream fashion.
