BRAZILIAN PATTERNS

hi luis, the first shot is ww2 i think and it is portuguese - i had mistakenly a portuguese photo on my brazilian folder.. i meant to upload one form monte castello...

here is the correct image

found this nice picture...

older lizard pattern

and another spot uniform

Spot uniform from 1976

and here one of the earliest samples of brazilian spotted pattern.
A brazilian marines reversible shirt, note the green is really faint, colors are almost the same for inside and outside (colors are definitely washed and faded, but the originals always had more subdue colors). this shirt is from mid 60's

Hi Albano,

No, I don't remember that soap. Then again, it's possible I was no longer living there at the time. I left in the mid-80s.

brazilian "Sergipe State" police wearing a locally made woodland copy...

What pattern is that really long and lean guy they are holding wearing?

Lizard, salamander or some other reptilian pattern?

Great pics and great post as always Dr. Matz!

Nice work Drmatz ..............very nice information and images , you have a good eye for this stuff.
I just found a vintage Caalinga 4 pocket jacket cut like a US jungle jacket ........I do not see one here .so will that make it a rare jacket ?


owen

hi owen, you are talking about the caatinga camouflage pattern, or the "leather suit"?
either way both are rare, the US like cut is for the "combat" versions and the 2 pocket version is the garrison uniform.
Thanks for your comments

cheers

4 pocket cammo

some random pictures of army mountain, air force, navy commandos, caatinga troops a very unique sniper pattern i never seeing before... and a extremely rare urban lizard uniform.

That urban pattern is... nuts! It might be good enough to drive criminals into surrendering just so they don't have to look at it.

Steve

yes, looks like it came straight from some G.I. JOE movie - im almost 100% sure is a private purchase, i don't think they actually issue those uniforms

here is a sample of the brazilian 1st jungle pattern

Nice finding there Gilles, that one you have where made in Rio de Janeiro, by Magalhães Sucupira. They used to be a big company with stores all over Rio, currently the have only few stores. I believe this one is late 80's early 90's.This pattern was in use for a very short period of time. Those Ones we traded where made in Sao Paulo

Rio de Janeiro State wildlife police woodland and turquoise lizard

new COE camouflage, not sure for what state (special operations plice)
