Bright & Faded Trops

Nothing special, but tropical DPM is one of my favourites. I know in the photos they all seem kind of similar, but in person, they really all do look different. I just love all the fading variations of the trops.




This is the "newest" of the shirts, with the best colour fastness; run of the mill tropical DPM.


A nicely faded shirt, with the notorious dark green outline surrounding the faded green blotches.


Of all the trops I have, this one's probably my favourite in regard to its fading. (The wacky fading variations are why I love collecting them). The photo really doesn't do it justice -- the green is more of a lime colour, the brown has gone to a "Martian red", and most of the black has faded to a purple hue.

Hi Ben, after 23 views looks like it's just you and me ,that appreciate Trops mate!!!!!!

I'm with you on the fading etc , very cool mate, and i know what you mean in ref to the last jacket shown, the colours are cool mate

I guess we are the resident "trop freaks". We appreciate good old trop kit when we see it!

These are far superior to the CS95 stuff...both in camouflage ability and overall allyness factor. Trops with a P58 belt looks pretty sharp.

The concept of CS95 was good, but the final result... well, not so much. I like these better.

This stuff is butt ugly, thats why I picked my trop shirt up! Hideous...but in an endearing way

Yeah,looks that way Mate...trop freaks it is then

Agreed, the old school factor reigns supreme, the more faded and trippy the colours the better me thinks
