From the land of pasta comes some more ACU copypasta. Essentially a basil-pesto reskin of the UCP ACU uniform, this sturdy field shirt offers you all the practicality of the ACU cut in a camo pattern that is actually useful in multiple environments. The Italians also omitted the loud-as-a-banshee hook-and-loop flaps and jam-prone zipper closures in favor of silent and field-repairable buttons.
The Mimetico Vegetata fractal pattern, developed for Mediterranean environments, is also effective in semi-arid, desert, and mountain environments and is aesthetic as inferno. Constructed of hard-wearing poly/cotton ripstop, these field shirts are up to any trek, tough job, or STALKER Italiano LARP.

Italian Mimetico Vegetata Field Shirt
Been meaning to add some vegetata to my collection for quite some time and it's even better than I thought. My shirt came with a star on the collar, but was missing a button. Fits true to size and looks great, though. Features velcro on both arms and both sizes of the chest. Pattern looks especially effective for the grasslands of the rockies. Highly recommend.
Arrived almost brand new not alot of sighns of wear still has decent color
The shirt came in great condition. Mine has more green than I was hoping for, making it more of a desert-brush than what is in the product pictures, but the description mentioned that this could be the case. However, size up! Italians are apparently all manlets. I am 6'2", ~190lbs, and the largest size is still slightly shorter in the arms than I would like. At rest, like in my picture, it's not noticeable, but I can definitely tell as I sit and type this review. It's nothing that will stop me from wearing it, just something to be aware of.
As good as this shirt looks, it seems like the People of Pasta are perhaps just a bit smaller than people from BurgerLand. I ordered a large with the expectation that it would run a little bit small, and even then it's a little bit snug. The cuffs are also very wide, and the first button used to adjust them is far too tight. All in all, a weird fit.
The Italian camo really gives off it's own sense of style compared to a lot of the uninspired multicam variants of late. This really feels like it's quite well made and durable and fits quite perfectly as both a shirt with enough room to layer a hoodie or something underneath.
The color is more greenish than expected , only gripe is the pants I ordered clearly don't match
