Hi guys,
hey, the camouflage patterns is one of my favorite matters since I'm a kid
Talking about the German and Chinese Flecktarn (ok laughing_man, nobody said the brown Flectarn was Japanese

), I've got old BW German trousers in Flecktarn that looks very brown, I couldn't find another one like this. Could it be an early version or a prototype or just bad quality pigment that has faded?

Hey Stef check the excellent link that Housil gave to me up the thread.
I think it covers this period there.

I have found some interesting IDF camouflage patterns too, though they like their olive drab still
I will post some pics.

What does the lable inside says?
There are sometimes little differences in color from:
New "summer" Flecktarn, more bright and green colors:
Autum pattern of rain smock, more dark and brown colors, but same pattern
Very often washed, so brighter colors:
To me, your "brown Flecktarn" seems an older, autum, often washed pants.
That regular one is pretty new, right?

Hi,
yep, I know that excellent site and there was another one, not available anymore "Truppenversuche der Bundeswehr 1976–1994" but I couldn't find exactly my trousers camo (that's not the "brown" flecktarn).
This one is not bad either, more "general"

Ehh.. the "new" desert flecktarn isn't new

It's called Tropentarn..
They are very easy to get in German webstores, they also don't make a problem about international shipping..
