This camouflage pattern was developed by the United States in the mid-1960s as the large deployments to desert regions became a possible necessity. The first samples were produced and delivered in 1972/73. It began to be issued in large numbers in the early 1980s and served through the First Gulf War before being replaced by Three-Color Desert or "Coffee Stain."
Since Choccy Chip was phased out it has become an iconic US military camouflage, being well-known and widely copied in both civilian and military circles.
These shirts are a comfortable, utilitarian example of camouflage. They come with four chest pockets all secured by button closure and adjustable cuffs. The chest is also button-up.
Model is 5' 11" and 160 pounds wearing a size medium/regular.
