Picked up a ton of modified DCUs and BDUs this weekend. I am just posting a few of the more exotic ones I was able to bring home. Any comments are welcome.
1. This is a modified DCU combat shirt.

2. This DCU was part of LARGE uniform grouping that belonged to a Major in the US Special Forces. This is the only modified DCU that I own that has a sewn blood type tape on the chest. This is a known 3rd Special Forces Group modification.

4. Picked up two weird modified DCUs. Not only does it have sleeve pockets, but it also has a pocket on the chest that is modified with velcro. In a nut shell, it has two chest pockets on the left side. Anyone else seen this modification before?
Odd chest pocket mod

Here is another modified DCU I picked up recently. SEAL modified DCU with velcro square underneath the collar. This one has been used and has various stains.

Picked up a some new modified DCU's last weekend and wanted to share a few of them with you.
The first modified DCU I want to show you is a fairly standard modified. It has velcro above the chest pockets for name and BOS tape.
Right sleeve pocket has a desert subdued US flag attached to it. Left hand pocket has an area for a US flag and a strip of velcro that I believe may have been for a blood type tape.

This next modified DCU is believed to be a 3rd SFG modified as it is set up along the same lines as other known examples.
The right pocket has a piece of glint tape attached to the pocket flap and a strip of velcro for a blood type tape. The left sleeve pocket has a piece of glint tape attached to the pocket flap via velcro.

This next DCU was identified by Lance (kriegsmodell) as being a very early SF modified DCU and the large velcro square on the left arm is for the velcroed ""Triple Canopy" or "Tower of Power" SSI (SF/Airborne/Ranger/SF long tab)". Thanks for the information, Lance.
