Ineffectiveness aside, it still looks freakin awesome
Best example I can think of, of a military item that served essentially no purpose, but was insanely beloved purely because it looked amazing
@@johnkonrad5040 John is that you?
When I was a teen (mid 90s) the local surplus store had mechanic's style coveralls in this pattern. They were claiming they were US sniper coveralls for making ghillie suits, but they were obviously commercial made.
During Desert Storm most called them snivel gear, or woobies because it was cold, windy and we had little else for warming layers. They got passed around or stolen on a daily basis!
We wore them sleeping on the ground in the Sinai while assigned MFO duty in 85' 3/502 101st. They kept you warm hahaha.
Brought a brand new issued set with liners home and was gonna use for Bow hunting but they vanished into a closet. Found them a couple years back and now too small hahaha
Just goes to show that most militarily useless garments are usually the most beloved pieces to soldiers.
Now, if folks could appreciate M65s as much as I do, I'd be really happy!
I like the m65 I just wish they were printed in some newer patterns, they are a bit heavy though when compared to today’s jackets
We didn't use the name "woobie" when I was in (85-97), but the poncho liner was THE most beloved piece of kit we had.
@@garrettblaster I agree, too heavy but the good side it lasts much longer than the Goretex parka.
I love both of my M65s
I went n found a M65 in Multicam last year. Love my M65.
FYI the Jordanian PSD ( Public Security directorate ) is the one under which falls the Police, Gendarmerie & Al-Badiye Forces ( Desert forces ) .
" The Rapid deployment forces " of the Gendarmerie was the one whom mainly wore the Navy/Blue camo with inner Dessert night.The Red camo used to be worn by the the Civil Defense forces which in Jordan are firemen & rescue men & such .
Like a "camo just for tradition"! Interesting!
Brazil also has those, sometimes you'll see firefighters (part of gendarmerie) wearing orange woodland camo
@@whoelsebutmeofcoursei If you want camo for tradition google " قوات البادية " & الحرس الملكي الاردني .
I wrote it in Arabic just copy & paste .
الحرس الملكي الاردني : Jordanian Royal Gaurds which falls under the command of the DOD /JAA & has two dresses Circassian & Beduin Arab
قوات البادية: Desert/Grazing land forces falls under the PDS
With Kabul's fall earlier this week, hard to believe that it's been 30 years to the year since the end of Gulf Wae ground operations
Can’t wait for Afghan national army digital camo uniforms to enter the surplus market tho.
When I was posting some GW stuff on Reddit, I was kinda astounded by that myself. Especially seeing some of the veterans - I was born on year after the war, and always looked at it as really modern looking.
Nowadays, more years have passed since the Gulf War, than the distance of years between the fall of Saigon and the Gulf War.
Now it is time for Uniform History to do a video about the Pakol. Its a Beret like headwear that is prety much only found in Afghanistan & some areas of Pakistan like Peshawar. It was popular among mujahideen back in the soviet invasion & afterward 2 famous people who wore it were Ahmed Shah Masood & Dr Tetsu Nakamura (not military, sinply a doctor who picked up engineering in order to irrigate the desert because his clinics were getting flodded & there was a serious droughy, as he said "access to clean water will contribute more than 100 doctors here".)
Always happy to see an upload. One of the most underrated channels on youtube.
Uniform History videos always make my day.😁
My cat looks very similar to your cat (I'm assuming the one in your pfp is yours)
@@Kai-ky6tf That is my cat. He is missing an eye unfortunately.
I just bought 3 sets of pants and jackets, 2 were unworn. Got them from an estate sale of a gulf war vet. Got a bunch of other great and usable period pieces as well. Very underrated and stylish camo.
And i used to see these for 10 to 20 bucks in surplus stores about 10 years ago. Maybe I will look tomorrow at my local surplus store to see if he has any.
I have a smaller block parka dated '01.
Also, the reason for the cost increase is that some airsoft team used them once, and now every new player to the game feels like they need to get one!
I started getting DNC stuff in 2014, I thought the pattern was cool as hell and all of the pieces were dirt cheap. Shortly after I found someone selling a size M like-new Adventure Tech 3 color desert/DNC reversible jacket, and I got it for $80, I love it so much and I'd wear it a lot. Then DNC blew up on Instagram with all the hypebeast guys and when I went to purchase a second one on ebay for a family member they'd already reached $250+ prices. Since then I've acquired a few more commercial pieces like the WRMFZY DNC reversible woobie pullover and a few others. My most recent purchases were both of those Jordanian jackets. I wasn't even aware of the blue tinted one until this video, and I actually just scored one of those after watching, hahaha. Thanks for the content, sir, it was a nice surprise to find a new video up and on my favorite pattern!
If you wanna sell the adventuretech Reversible, let me know!
The Disco pattern returns!!!! Mhuricaaaa!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have the emerson combat shirt and the camo is very useful in woodland environment, and looks really cool!. I've got the parka and reversible goretex too.
We were issued them for Sinai MFO duty in 85' and they came in handy at night in the desert sleeping in vehicles or on the ground hahaha.
The fabric got surplused off as well. I have a comforter (a "duvet" for you Britishers) that's plain green on one side, and Night Desert on the other. It's roughly twin bed size. I picked that up at a flea in...gee, probably 1995 or so. Kept it because it's a neat pattern, and it's also stupid warm, as it's majorly stuffed with polyester fill like a jacket. No tags when I got it, but whateva, it's still very cool. And warm. You know what I mean.
I believe what you have is a USGI casualty blanket. I worked at a surplus store in the 1990’s. After the Gulf War we acquired many of the pants and parkas along with the casualty blankets. I have one that I love and use daily.
Technically a comforter and a duvet are different things, a comforter is a single piece while a duvet is a cover and then an insert. The british probably just use duvets more than we do here
@@BlackHawkBallistic Oh, I did not know that. Huh.
@@cammobunker yep, I learned from my mom I don't know how many years ago and I doubt I'll ever forget lol
Can’t wait to buy my Desert Night camo parka at H&M
Can confirm first-hand as useless against late 80s NVG.
The smocks did come in handy when things cooled off at night, though. The slits for pocket access were useless if wearing a flak vest or LBE.
Fascinating, as always! The night camo is eye-catching, kind of the opposite of what you want from camouflage! 😂😁
M65 liners fit the night parka as well, it is just shorter.
I appear to have the parka with the stock number 1 before the one in the video, what a coincidence
Recently found a rain camo german assault pack in a goodwill. It was in the purses section, it had an cheap canvas shoulder strap cliperd onto it.
Would love to see a video on the new Badri 313 camo, there are plenty of pictures of them out now. It will take some time to get the research done but it will give you a ton of views because of the current times, love the channel, keep it up!
I’ve got a 1981 unissued one , they feature the white tags as found in the 1981 BDU uniforms.
The dream would be Blue DPM with Green Desert Night Camo 😍
Totaly beside the Point: Desert Night Camo looks a bit like the romulan Uniforms on Star Trek TNG. Can't help to wonder if there was a Influence 🖖
Love the blue.
I still have a pair of Vans with the Korean black pattern
Wow and third 🥉! Wish for Ops-Core FAST helmet soon
I Remember seeing all kinds of it at a local Surplus store years ago, not knowing what it was at the time. I regret not having gotten any.
These are good kit to have in your ruck for cold nights (or days). I have an insulated liner for the pants. I also have a casualty blanket that I've only seen once. I picked it up in a surplus store for $20 25 years ago. I wish that I had bought two. I also have a boonie and I used to have BDU trousers, but I'm not sure what became of them.
The blue Jordanian one looks kind of cool.
I bought a orignal parka with liner a few years ago for 60 bucks.
The only modification i did was to wash it in like Gore-tex detergent.
Should add some pockets to it! I know a few fellas who customed up their issued rain suits by sewing in M65 liners, and adding pockets
I remember my brother in law giving his desert night camo jacket and pants back in the early 90’s and wore the hell outta the jacket just cause none of my other friends had them at the time. I remember him explaining to me what it was and asking him if it actually worked and remember him laughing so hard when he told me that it didn’t work well at all and in some circumstances wearing it actually made you more visible. I still thought it was cool and of course lied to all my friends about how hi tech and effective this night camo was like any kid my age would lol.
Keep up the good work!
Have an original set, plus the WRMFZY Reversible woobie hoodie in DNC, love the pattern and the cut of all the uniforms I have in it lmao
I also have that WRMFZY reversible, comfy as hell
Lol, it's a comfy woobie, but you definitely overpaid by a factor of three if you bought straight from WRMFZY.
That prick repackages Alibaba chinesium and calls it a day
These Jordanian patterns are quite bizzare but in a good way!
Exquisite, then it is !
Usefulness: 2
Aesthetic: 10
Can you do a military history of Buttons, Boots, Undershirts, and the difference between dress and war uniforms.
Good for me, never been fascinated by this pattern unlike its contemporary mate Chocolate Chips.
Its pretty affective in dense green foliage
Really wanted a set back when I was still in, now I would just piss off tehy hipsters if I were to wear it
Palace Skateboards uses this pattern this season for their collection too
I just looked at their site, only a cool $160 for the hoody :-L Pretty cool though.
Didn't know that reversible Goretex parka (DCU/DNCU) was civilian produced. Always thought it was some military limited test release.
I have a question about jsdf camouflage ? You add in your video
Any more info about the image at 9:09? I want to try to find out more about that weird vest with horizontal pouches.
I typically find them for about $5 at flea markets and surplus stores. Their everywhere
Buy them and sell to hipsters on eBay
Hello, i would really love if you could cover usmc urban marpat in a video, ive been really interested in learning more about it, and I figured that if anyone could do it and find an example, it would be you guys
any chance you could do a video on the uniform/ gear the atf used at waco?
Stars go on the left. Your profile picture is wrong.
ATF largely used black uniforms. FBI used issued US Army M81 for it's sniper/observer teams, and gave out ECWCS jackets to most other personnel
@UniformHistory Where can we find the clip at 1:20 ? I swear UA-cam's searching thingy just flat-out doesn't work
If I’d have known this video was on the cards I would have shot some footage of my cropped parka (home diy cut, inspired by Hannleitasa’s work) and my TRC outdoors cierzo shirt and Timmy cap
Gotta get that drip
Does anyone know anything about the liner for the Jordanian parka? I have one and I want to add a liner to it, I have a spare US DNC liner but I haven't gotten around to trying it in the Jordanian parka.
1:36 Dude wearing a branch tape on the wrong side. Some of these testing photos are hilarious, especially the ones from the late 70s and early 80s.
My uncle gave me 2 small parkas as a kid that he was issued. Him being 6'4 wasn't going to be doing him any good. I was using it 10 years later to keep the sun off my 249.
at some military surplus store I saw the full parka for $30
What's funny is that it's mostly written off mainly because it's ineffectiveness against night vision, but there have been a lot of tests that show that more grey-ish colored uniforms hide better at night than black ones. So as an actual night camo, it's probably not that bad
Also, wasn't Iraq's night vision really bad?
@@Seth9809 if they did have night vision, it would definitely be first generation soviet
BDU Woodland wouldn't be bad against night vision if they simply swapped out the black with a medium to dark gray.
@@news_internationale2035 very true. I've seen it said that the best camo for night vision is the same one you are using for day use. As long as the material you're using doesn't glow under IR, then it's a good camo
@@Nikolai393 A certain amount to it has to do with getting the contrast right. Black against the other colours stands out too much in night vision.
Like the common blue version of the Woodland BDU, that one doesn't stand out in night vision.
Cool
Do Vietnam tiger stripe pattern next pleeeeeasssse 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Cheers 🍻
Can you do what rink can have a pistol in n the us army
I own a parka with a dedicated liner
I partially blame GarandThumb and EFT for its come back
i thought it did okay against gen one nv?
El patrón que tiene atrás lo tengo en un pantalón de la RDA
Neo fashion leader southkorea uncles.
republic of China 🇹🇼 camouflage,please
So hot right now
That one damn Garand Thumb video, and half the gun community is out Good Will Hunting for this silly parka.
Can’t believe there’s still no Brit (and others) DPM video!
i got a pair of the trousers in small medium if anyone wants to pay the shipping
What about the taliban?
I like eggs
i like eggs
Based
Likely story.
I prefer them over easy or scrambled
User name checks out
So basically Russian masking suits without a useful camo...
bro, why are you wearing jewelers gloves lol
