This shirt describes what it means to be a hidden artist.
It's perfect and I wear it everywhere.
And when's the last time you've seen someone wear dpm? Pretty long time huh?
An icon in surplus-wear, this is the British DPM Field Shirt. Like the US Military's M85 Woodland camo, British DPM had a very long service history in many military organizations around the world, particularly in countries that were formerly British colonies.
DPM can be traced all the way back to the Denison smock used by British commandos in the 1940s. Early patterns continued to be used for some field uniforms until it was more widely adopted in 1968. Until 2016, DPM was the standard camo pattern used by the British Armed Forces, and is still used today in some countries.
The field shirts mechanical design also has a long history with only minor changes being applied over its service, but the phrase "If it aint broke, don't fix it" certainly comes to mind. If that isn't "trad" we aren't sure what is.
Specs
Sizing
These field shirts are measured in cm using height and chest circumference. The sizing intervals are decently far apart, so you may want to round up or down depending on how you want the shirt to fit (tight like a shirt, or looser like a jacket).
Condition
Field shirts are in great condition, with only minor signs of use and no holes, cuts, or tears.

You might not get your exact height but it’ll still fit.
Ordered this one as the one i had before had sleeves that were slightly too short. Didn't even smell like surp when it arrived, smelled clean. Fits great, feels great, looks great.
Great condition and fits as described, though I did have some trouble measuring my arms and ended up getting one with shorter sleeves than I had wanted. No biggie, just ordered another, will be rolling the sleeves on this one.
If shirts were bowls, others would be pretty to look at, but be full of holes and terrible to use for a while. This shirt, however; is sealed like an oil drum. It's practical, light, and drippy as all hell. Get some PLCE and now you're ready to face any of the Troubles that might come your way. You might not able to get 'er done like 'ol girl Thatcher, and you might find couple pounds of serious putty under your car, but at least you'll up your stroke game with this drip!
