US ACU Jacket, UCP, Surplus

US ACU jackets in an unissued condition. Limited availability!

The US Army Combat Uniform is soon 20 years old and still a benchmark of combat fatigues. It's very comfortable to wear (the genuine ones have lighter fabrics than most copies), there's nothing superfluous and all details are designed and made rather well. Slanted pockets and a mobile cut are just two examples of the practical worth of this garment.

Made of lightweight 50/50 NyCo ripstop.

Universal Camouflage Pattern

The ACU uniform was the first uniform to use the UCP. The pattern consists of pixel-like shapes and is meant to be a jack-of-all-trades in all terrains and environments. Whether or not it works is another matter entirely, it should be noted that the pattern has a nickname ICU or "I see you".

The pattern is suitable for casual wear, unless of course you wear the whole uniform.
