I might as well be the first smartass to say
"It can be obtained at your local recruiter for free" |

nope you arent being a smartass CavVet.
be the first in your block to own a pair, stubbs. sign up for 4 ! the US Marines have a patent on the camo design so dont expect it to be in the market anytime soon. unless the Marines are selling it themselves. |

no you can't get it at cloth world.
try e-bay. or get some of your old camo and spray paint it with some cans that have their nozzles about half plugged up. it looks a lot like German WWII "dot camo" hum? German helmets,German camo,what next? |

Quoted: "It can be obtained at your local recruiter for free" Almost... I've seen a total of TWO Marines wearing the new uniform. My squadron regularly flies into Cherry Pt, Oki, Quantico, Pendleton/Miramar, and many other points North, East, South or West. Not one of our aircrew has been able to find any part of them, in any of the cash sales (uniform shops). The uniform shop website says that the new cammies will be available for ordering (by authorized users) in October '02. |

This place sells a reproduction. It's a very good copy, but expensive.

Quoted: They are talking about camouflage on the History Channel right now including this new pattern. Saw it earlier. Good show. I liked how the Indians covered themselves in wolf skins while hunting Buffalo. Apparantly, Buffalo didn't give any regard to wolves. |

Yeah, from what I hear the Marines patented MARPAT, even though the government, being public, isn't supposed to be able to do that. But who's gonna stop 'em, right?
Canada has a ripoff called CANPAT, and from what I hear is either available or is still in development, I can't remember which. Either that, or the "Made in Taiwan" cheap copies is what people will be able to get, I suppose. Oops, Graffiti already mentioned CANPAT... |

I saw that History Channel show on Camoflage last night. Very interesting. The new camoflage patterns look very cool... I liked the bits about the Marine and Army snipers and the ghillie suits. I WISH I could be a sniper like that... :)

Caught the show last night myself.
Doubt you'll be able to get the real thing for a long time, after some Marine get's out of the service and pawns his uniform or sells them to an Army Navy surplus store. Why? Because this new uniform has tiny little "USMC" with the eagle, globe and anchor printed into it every 15 inches or so. So, will be stuck with the immitation stuff. |

i dont know why anyone would pay good money for it. its hard to beat comercial camo for hunting unless you just want them to think of yourself as a cool guy "look at me i got the new Marine camo before you, im almost a Marine". screw that. im holding out till 2004. im not getting that stuff till they MAKE me.

The pattern is genuine MARPAT, but it isn't made to mil-specs. I bought the trousers that seem decent, but I'm told the blouse is a POS. It is a neat, effective pattern. |
