I have had both of these for awhile. The desert Marpat is unique because the solider has placed glint tape on the left sleeve pocket and the cuffs of the sleeves have been cut off for ease in rolling up the sleeves in hot conditions.
The Coyote IBA has seen better days for sure. However, they both have the same fade pattern and felt they made a cool display.
True story.....the IBA cover came to me and was DIRTY and SMELLY. I had soaked it for over a week in a combination of laundry detergent,DAWN detergent, and baking soda. It smells better but still is covered in sand and dirt. The inside armor pockets have handfuls of sand and when I was putting this display together....my floor became covered in fine sand.
I will admit, these two are my favorite USMC pieces. Whoever used them was in some deep stuff. My hat goes off to these guys!!!!
