The American military had just began issuing Six-Color Desert (\"Choccy Chip\") to troops in the Sinai and other arid environments. And so the British MOD to began work on Desert DPM. They recolored Woodland DPM using four shades of brown and tan. This version became widely used by Saddam's Iraq, among other smaller nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four-color pattern wasn't immediately issued to British troops as there were none deployed to desert environments at the time. Potential problems with friendly fire and enemy misidentification during deployments to the Middle East and Asia due to the wide use of four-color DDPM created the need for a three-color variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tricolor DDPM became the pattern issued to British troops throughout the Gulf and Afghanistan Wars until its replacement by the MultiCam variant MTP (Multi-Terrain Pattern).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTricolor DDPM was issued in several different phases as the general-issue British military uniform changed. While there are minute differences between DDPM of different time frames, we have not sorted this listing by date of manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis listing contains all types of British Desert DPM and there is not an option to select them individually. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Short \u0026amp; Sweet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine \u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eBritish military surplus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIssued; Good condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixed branches of service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight 65% cotton, 35% polyester blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo chest pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButton-up front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesert DPM colorway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-position button-adjustable cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay or not come with unit patches or name tags\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eButton style and shirt cut may vary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBritish sizes are generally true to American sizes, we recommend buying whatever size you usually wear!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","offers":[{"title":"Small (88)","offer_id":43053877264625,"sku":"43053877264625","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium (96)","offer_id":43053877690609,"sku":"43053877690609","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large (104)","offer_id":43053877723377,"sku":"43053877723377","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Extra Large (112)","offer_id":43053877756145,"sku":"43053877756145","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXL (120)","offer_id":43180299682033,"sku":"43180299682033","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXXL (Short Sleeve)","offer_id":43180306825457,"sku":"43180306825457","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/17_154ef252-870a-4d91-93c8-2424e252b98a.png?v=1727899236","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/british-desert-dpm-field-shirt","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
