Resurrecting an old thread.
1 Queens late 80s early 90s.
By late '80's alot of mix with DPM which was used in the field. As said earlier the lined combats had become a cherished item and the old sweats tried to keep hold of these especially for guard duties, 'Jungle' dpm trousers also in use by some of the more solvent amongst the troops again in the field.
As for patterns of DPM, we had plenty, I had a pair which had been made from a horrible material, lighter then other DPM and like a pair of drainpipes, but would hold a lovely crease, especially with some additives!
