    As everyone knows, RM Commando worn the combination of green DPM top and desert DPM pants. Not sure if it is accurate because British is not my expertise. Here is my attempt of display.

    Correct me if I'm wrong... In this photo he is wearing a windproof jacket?

    Okay, apparently the top is incorrect. I'm supposed to have desert DPM then green DPM windproof jacket over it.

    Actually, in that specific photo, he's wearing a ripstop CS95 jacket...which is a lot cheaper than the windproof jackets.

    In fact, they're a dime-a-dozen at Sportsman's Guide! cheers http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=687044

    There are photos in existence of RM Commandos wearing the standard CS95 shirt like yours pictured with desert DPM trousers. I'll have to go on a search mission through my hard drive to find you one, however. Laughing

    The jacket in the pic,is a Field jacket,the sort with attachable Hood, the ripstop material is quite distinct in the look and feel department Wink

    Right.

    The reason for wearing desert trousers & a temperate DPM smock is to break up your outline.

    It was found if you wore one colour the tallibunnies could see you more quickly.

    Hence the introduction of the new MTP uniform.
