British DPM Field Shirt

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.
