I bought the UTS 6'', 8.5'' and the long version in Rhodesian bushstroke camouflage and have already had the chance to try them out. They are extremely comfortable, very well made, and the camouflage pattern looks fantastic. I would be very pleased if a field shirt in the original cut, preferably with a high cotton content, appeared in the offer – that would be great. I have also used Texar products and am fully satisfied with them. Shipping and the whole process went smoothly. The sizes also match, and since I don't have model-like measurements, I appreciate that even more.

Tiger Stripe camouflage
Tiger Stripe is a family of camouflage patterns originating in Southeast Asia, the most popular variant of which is the pattern developed in the Republic of Vietnam. Its design is based on the French Lizard pattern, adapted for tropical conditions. Tiger Stripe consists of irregular, brushstroke-like stripes in shades of green and brown and wider, grayish lines, placed on an olive or khaki background. Such an arrangement works particularly well in dense jungles and tropical forests, where it effectively camouflages the silhouette among low and medium vegetation. The camouflage makes it difficult to detect at close range and allows one to blend into the dynamic, shaded vegetation background. The name "Tiger Stripe" alludes to the coat of tigers - the pattern imitates the natural striped color pattern, which works well in conditions that require effective contour breakdown in dense greenery.
