Hay Raptor whats the current status of the irish desert dpm. I have herd its no longer issued? and you guy's might be goings a irish mutlicam?

No mate.No multicam.
They stopped purchasing the desert pattern in 2013 as at the time it was uncertain as to whether are contingent in Kabul would transition from ISAF to RSM. As a result the last few rotations to RSM have all worn temperate DPM. Our clothing contracts run in three year cycles so we are due to have a new tender published soon.Interesting to see if any new items are included this time.

Been looking for one of these for awhile..

Well done!!!! That looks to be a near unissued one. Just like the Belgian desert uniforms made by Seyntex, the colors of used items tend to be very faded. So the color difference between new and lightly used is pretty stark. I have one of the commercial sets (made from genuine cloth) and a used one, so I can see the color difference first hand. I also had two brand new jackets and one trousers stolen on the way from Germany (box was broken into)

Here is a spanking brand new one in XL..

Wrong colour Rank and nametape. Check this guy out he might be able to hook you up.

Thanks for the link.


Do need a proper nametape for this blouse .

I am fairly certain green insignia was used for a short time before desert type insignia became available.
