Do you know what year the F1 and F2 jackets were introduced each?

Hello,

Early F2 sets appeared circa 1987, at the beginning worn as parade BDU. There is an other model, "F2 allegé", F2 cut but made with lightweight F1 material, designed for overseas deployments. They were worn in the early 90's but issued in small number.

Hi,

1980: The First year of F1 production.
around 1986: the end of F1 production.

I wonder when the cut off for this F1 jacket was made ?
After the introduction of the F2 ?

Regards

Mellon

Resurrecting this one ..

Found an interesting F1 variant recently.

Probably a late issue, it has no elastic back, or anywhere else and  pebbled snap covers as opposed to the smooth type common with this uniform..
