US BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) Shirt - MILITARY SURPLUS

The cotton BDU shirts are perfect for all your bush adventures.

Intended for use during "battles", as opposed to "garrison" dress unifroms, the Battle Dress Uniform was used by the U.S Armed Forces as their standard unifrom for warfare situations from the early 1980s to the mid-2000s. Reminiscent of the Vietnam-era jungle fatigues, the BDU shirt and combat trousers first appeaered in September 1981 in now classic Woodland camouflage pattern, and soon replaced all earlier camouflage pattern uniforms for all wooded, jungle and tropical environments.

Although since then it has been replaced in ever branch of the U.S Armed Forces, the BDU shirts and trousers remain popular thanks to their construction and features and are still used by some U.S federal, state and local law enforcement agencies or Special Forces teams, as well as in other countries world wide. The coat is made longer than normal so that the load carrying equipment does not cover the pockets.
