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.

ERDL Camouflage
The ERDL (Engineer Research and Development Laboratory) camouflage pattern was created in 1948 by a U.S. research facility. Its widespread adoption occurred in the 1960s, particularly during the Vietnam War, where it was primarily used by special operations and reconnaissance units. Later camouflage models such as Woodland and M81, now globally recognized, were developed based on the original ERDL pattern. The green and brown color scheme is highly effective in areas with dense undergrowth, European deciduous forests, thickets, and mixed woodland environments.
