TRIBAL CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT JACKET

The TRIBAL CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT JACKET is made from printed camouflage cotton twill fabric and finished with two lower flap closure pockets and a single chest pocket. Urea button hardware is used throughout. The pattern was initially designed in the United States for civilian use in hunting. Though it was never widely used by the military, it is said to have been considered by the US army and was notably adopted by the Peruvian Special forces group Peruvian Paracaidistas, who wore this camouflage in Lima 2007.

This all-season pattern, often referred to as a tribal pattern due to its resemblance to Bornean motifs, was first developed in the 1980s. Its bold, high-contrast design was created for versatility, allowing effective concealment across diverse terrains and throughout different seasons. Unlike traditional camouflage, which mimics specific environments, this unusual pattern uses larger, irregular shapes to fragment the human form, making it effective in diverse backgrounds without relying on colour matching. This shape-disrupting approach allowed it to perform well in wooded areas, grasslands, and deserts, and was particularly adaptable in changing light conditions, such as dawn and dusk.

This unique design also offered advantages at long distances, where detailed camouflage patterns often blur into a single colour. These large, contrasting shapes prevented the human outline from becoming easily recognisable, making it ideal for hunters or personnel needing concealment across open fields or plains.
