You can click on it to get a high res version. Unfortunately it is the only image I could find on the US Army website.

And now I know to look for it, Mexican Marines Digital Desert!

You can search for pictures of the 16 de septiembre military parade. There you can find the new digital pattern uniforms of the Mexican Army and Navy

Interestingly, I purchased 10 meters of genuine Mexican Marines Digital camouflage from a dealer in the US. How the material wound up where it did is a mystery, but the cloth is in my hands and I'm sure it's the real deal.

Cheers,

here is a taylor made jacket of the original material

Wow Drmatz, what a few yards of fabric can turn into... you're lucky, anything and everything is almost impossible to get out of Mexico... The only thing I got from that part of the world is an old PGR SIEDO polo, but that's not military. XD

Where did you get it anyway, I thought SEDNA (Mexican Naval Command) controlled every last bit of fabric.

I don't know about Danilo's custom made example, but I had 3 sets made from surplus fabric that showed up in surplus shop in the US. They don't have any more.

i got mine from an ex-US marine soldier who said he got 3 sets from a mexican officer who he trained with. I know another collector who got the second set and the marine kept the 3rd. He only got the fabric and he had them made here in the U.S.

I also have an old woodland shirt that my brother got from a soldier in fort bragg when he was a paratrooper there about a decade ago. 

cheers

Thanks for the information guys, since I don't live far from the US-Mexico Border, I had the opportunity to speak with a Mexican Soldier about his uniform one day, After sweeping the dust off my already crappy Spanish we joked around a bit and I asked if it was possible to get a set and he said the only legal way to get a uniform is to Enlist and the joke was if I really wanted one I had to  be a Cartel member or I'd have to shoot him right then and run off with it. 

He said in a manual, that all current items are to be turned in for incineration and you have a choice in turning in previous issue items. By the way if you guys wanna Repo the tags, it pretty much looks like US tags cept in Spanish with the Manufacturers being SEDNA (Navy/Marines) or the Mexican Dept of the Army from what I saw on a jacket.

If you guys find or have any seconds, I'm game for some. 

Great detail shots! Thanks!!

HOLY SHI-
Well have you guys seen the new US4ces now renamed Mexican Jungle camo they just adopted?

Yep looks good. I saw pictures when they caught that big drug dealer kingpin again. I have put the feelers out to my 2 mex contacts to see if they can get me a set.

I really like the Marines digital pattern. I just got this in. I'm sure you all know from who, it's not exactly a secret.

Nice those Mexican marines uniforms will be only more valuable soon. as they are changing to the US4ces only now. So with so few out other Mexican uniforms in collectors hand these will be super rare.

Curiously, only my garment set has a label
Gilles

No my marines uniforms all have the tags

Got a new set. Fully badged.

Nice uniform. well done
