Flecktarn Date Range Guide

 

Flecktarn comes in two, slightly different color variants.

• Pre-2005: The classic five color pattern everyone thinks about when they hear Flecktarn: vibrant and robust.
• Pre-2005 variants: Sometime during the 90s, Germany was in high demand for BDUs. So it contracted a handful of different companies for manufacture. Because of this construction is identical, but color is not. With the amount of different batches being produced by different printing equipment, the tone of the five colors varies from company to company. 
• Post-2005: In 2005, the five colors of Flecktarn were altered into more muted tones. Since then, the colors have stayed free of variation. Every parka made since 2005 features this muted version of Flecktarn.
