This seller modify DCUs for customers. Thumbs down. It's bad for us in future because nobody would be able to tell the difference.

One of way to catch fake modified DCUs are by reading the description carefully.

You are looking at a med reg desert modified DCU jacket otherwise known as a RAID jacket. This is a 'in great shape' surplus USGI DCU shirt. These are favorites of the special forces and SOCOM units. There is velcro closures on side/shoulder pockets, velcro strip for branch / name stripes, and velcro on the collar for tabs. This is a professionally modified jacket and is in great condition.
If any one needs a certain size or any custom features on this type of jacket, please contact me via the contact seller link. I can modify these however you want them in whatever size. This is a rare item. Free US shipping with buy it now. Dont pay until I adjust your invoice accordingly.

This guy don't sound real smart! They're so rare, he'll make you one? I'm confused now.

hey guy, there's no secret about that. It's like helmet and some other personalized modified items ! TAKE CARE !! It's why I never collect any special forces items because there's too many fakes !! And finaly it's not interesting to collect I think unless you are 100% sure of authenticity ! Here's my opinion about these modified items.

Where will it end ?, if I was very lucky I might see one of these Modded DCU's here in the Uk.....I would be gutted if it turned out to be a dodgy piece of kit.......Darn you to heck,shifty ebay sellers...

had to log in to say this.

RAID modifications, the South, LibertyTactical761, the fact he's got a couple ghillie suits made on the site for sale, and "machine sewn" all made me think of a certain forum member from a couple years ago.... looking at his feedback, I don't think its the same guy but....I can't be certain, because I remember some references to having other people asking him to make the same stuff...*shrugs* I mean, this person sells sewing machine tools and art supplies in addition to the RAID modified uniforms (not just DCUs, but Woodlands apparently as well) buys quite an amount of gear/uniform pieces from sellers though.

Here is another.

This seller sell a lot of SEAL patches (possibly commercials or novelties). It led me to the suspicious that it is a put together piece. I read along this seller's description. He mentioned "NICE TRIBUTE BLOUSE NEW UNUSED . COMPLETE WITH PATCHES SEEN." Now, I don't think he is trying to con anybody but it could easily fool anybody who didn't read the description.

It is IMPORTANT to read descriptions if you feel something is "off".

You did right. It's well a copy (as some other !)

I saw that one too. I think he has a few other put together SEAL uniforms.
