The end of British Desert DPM uniform

[Junglie Scout]

Guys,

 

Tis a sad day, it was announced this week that the desert DPM uniform that we love oh so much, is to be withdrawn from service as of July this year (I work quite closely with this sort of stuff so its first hand info!!)

 

This does open up two avenues of discussion:

 

1) It should see the surplus market flooded with excess brand new, still in the packet stock .

2) The eventual dissapearence of a great piece of clothing .

 

I very much doubt it will fade away that quickly but, the UK Armed Forces will destroy anything that has been worn so only the remaining new stock will find its way onto the market. I hope there will be ample supply around for a year or two but it will dissapear eventually.

 

So guys and girls its time to buy as much as you can get before the desert DPM's are no more. It would be a crying shame to have to find an alternative in the near future.

 

Just thought you'd appreciate the heads up.

 

JS.

We should probably start looking, slowly, but still start.
