Interesting story about the camouflage undershirt this Iraqi soldier is wearing. About 5 years ago, I was at one of my favorite surplus shops around one of the US Army bases here in Kentucky. I knew the shop owner very well and he would always save odd items back for whenever I would show up.
This particular day, I bought a huge bag of DCUs and pouches for my collection. As I was leaving, he handed me four woodland camouflage t-shirts and said that some soldier had brought them in and claimed that they came back from Iraq. The shop owner said the soldier also claimed that the t-shirts were given to the Iraqi troops by US soldiers to help supplement the Iraqis uniforms.
To be honest, I thought it was another story someone had made up to sell their items. I really had no use for the shirts and had contemplated throwing them out or donating them to our local thrift shop. However, I kept them in the bag of DCUs and eventually forgot about them.
A few years later, I was doing some research on Iraqi camouflage uniforms and saw several pictures that made do a double take. Sure enough, there were pictures of Iraqi soldiers wearing the exact same woodland pattern t-shirts. The Iraqi in the picture I posted is also wearing the exact same woodland pattern shirt I was given.
This is just an example of why you never throw anything away until you find out the full story.

Iraqi used Chinese copy of the USMC Woodland MARPAT uniform. These were used by the Iraqi Army, some SF personnel, and the Iraqi Tactical Support Unit (TSU).

Iraqi used Chinese made desert tiger stripe uniform. This uniform was imported by Karnas Company in Erbil, Iraq. I was told by an Iraqi gentleman that these were used post 2003 by the Iraqi Special Guards of the President (Presidential Guards). I think some of the Iraqi SF types used them as well.
