For your consideration is a rare, original and unissued example of the US Army's new Multicam pattern ACU currently being worn by units in Afghanistan - Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). This uniform was originally tested by elements of the 4th Infantry Division in OEF, and is now currently being fielded by all units deployed to that theater. Although produced to US Department of Defence standards and issued by the US Army, the uniform will probably be short-lived and should probably be considered experimental as the Army is currently testing a series of camouflage designs that will replace the current pixelated Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). This uniform is genuine, US government issue and came straight from a source at Fort Lewis, Washington. Very few of these uniforms will ever be available to collectors, as US Army regulations state they can only be worn in the combat theater. A description of both pieces follows. JACKET: Size Medium/Regular (37" to 41" chest). Features a full zipper frontal closure, with Velcro patches to secure the flap over the zipper, a Mandarin-type collar secured with a Velcro tab, cuffs with 2" Velcro securing straps instead of buttons, two chest pockets (with Velcro closing flaps aligned at a vertical tilt), and diagonally-aligned upper sleeve bellows pockets (covered by "loop" Velcro in desert tan for affixing insignia). Reflective infared squares are sewn to short tabs that can be concealed under the shoulder pocket flaps, or exposed during field operations. The elbow region can be fitted with standard issue open-celled foam pads inserts, which are secured in Velcro-closing "pockets," although they were not supplied with the jacket. Fabric is a special flame resistant blend that is comfortable to wear and has been coated with Perimeter insect repellent. A packet of Multicam pattern camouflage field repair fabric (by Source One Tactical) sealed in plastic is furnished inside the sleeve pocket. The jacket is made by Readyone Industries for the US Army. TROUSERS: Size Medium/Regular (31" to 35" waist). These feature regular type belt loops plus a drawcord system at the waist, two slash waist pockets at the front, rear hip pockets and very large, bellowed cargo pockets with a diagonally aligned flap that secures with Velcro. The opening to this pocket can be "cinched" by means of an internal cord of black elastic with a cordura nylon push-button adjuster. Like the elbows on the jacket, the knee region can be fitted with open-celled foam pads inserts, but these are not included with the uniform. There are also smaller pockets at each calf that could probably hold a single magazine or equivalent sized object. The bottom cuffs are adjustable with ribbed nylon cords, and the seat of the trousers is reinforced in typical BDU-fashion. Fabric is the same flame resistant blend as the jacket, but has been coated by insect repellent by Bond It. A packet of Multicam patter camouflage field repair fabric (by Source One Tactical) sealed in plastic is furnished inside one of the rear hip pockets. The trousers are made by Propper International for the US Army. Jacket and trousers feature DOD tags with all appropriate markings.
