    It ended up going for quite a bit of cash...

    It was in a sort of M88 cut though. Had four front pockets and one each arm.

    I'm thinking some African nation, some sort of Presidential Guard maybe...

    I was following this jacket as well..

    Most likely Zaire but a few other countries have used this and similar patters.

    The background color is very distinct from the normal Zaire pattern. I was Korean school pattern because the colors are pretty similar, but the arm pockets is definitely not consistent with that theory. So yes, perhaps some limited special use, like guards, interior security forces, etc. of Zaire seems likely.

    I may have found it. No context other than "Zairean military"
