/fa/ - Fashion

In my opinion camo only looks good on field shirts, jackets and parkas.

Pic related is the first project that I've barely contributed to but is supposedly in the first print batch now or soon.
He'll make reproductions of the orignial Field jackets and shirts out of it along with some t-shirts out of the test batch of the print.

IMO, camo, as a current trend, is encroaching on played out, if not already. But of course it'll always be around.

>What items of clothing or accessories would these camos work on?
I personally only like camo outerwear: anything else is too much.
>What do causal non-/fa/ people want to buy with camo on?
Plebs will pleb. Anything.
>What would you guys throw all your money at?
I never throw all my money at anything. But I'd be interested in some outerwear.

>>7844086
>tfw I'm swedish and you post M90K
Good luck getting that though. Rare as fuck besides fuckexpensive hard use outdoors jackets.

How /fa/ is the guy to the left?

Example of someone ruining historical camo.
I would on the other hand not have anything against someone doing this with newly produced and printed fabric.

>What items of clothing or accessories would these camos work on?
Outerwear is always best for camo in my opinion, actual military cuts in particular. Field jackets, parka's, field shirts, you know. Perhaps a duffle bag or simple backpack might work as well.

>What do causal non-/fa/ people want to buy with camo on?
Now that it's still in style, they'll buy anything camo (like the other anon suggested). If you want to play it safe, camo cargo shorts will always have an audience.

>What would you guys throw all your money at?
I'd buy a decent m65 with rarely seen camo any day.

This pattern is currently being digitalized.
Think he (the other guy, milsurp collector and merchant on /k/) just wants to troll the serious collectors by taking one of the rarest camos in existance and making it available for cheap.
I think these shirts, which there are like 4 of still in existance, beats all of /fa/ in stupid money for clothes you won't wear anyway.

>>7844919
not trolling but what exactly makes camo rare?
i know that diff environments call for different patterns but why are patterns rare?
difficulty to reproduce? impracticality in the field? obsoletion/replacement?
or is it individual pieces that are rare? i.e. the shirt you posted

>>7844966
I'm not a collector myself, but I'm guessing mainly quantity, if it's from a rare country Zaire or Syria, if it's been issued or is just a trial / prototype pattern.
This shirt has the pattern hand-drawn and was only issued to like the top tier special forces too.
Think the guy he got the source pics from paid like 10000€ for it.

>>7844966
It means few were made, or survived to modern day.

The French one posted was issued to one unit for one year, in Africa. So not much was made and the swampy shit conditions it was used in degraded a lot of the articles made.

Wearing camo can be /fa/ if done right
take a look at this guy who posted on /k/'s collection it's fucking incredible

good info, thx
>10000€
holy fuck

>>7844985
as a french I'm interested to know during which operation/war those were used ?

>>7845019
I vaguely remember Algeria, could ask him for you as it's so rare I can't find much by googling.

Question for those of you who but military surplus jackets / field shirts that's been used: do you remove the patches and tags?

>>7845019
Here's two pictures, if you want you could translate some for us who's interested as well but don't know french.

This looks like pic related when full uniform.

Wouldn't mind some more opinions

these are dope OP.

>>7845053
I says that Ponchardier obtained the commando to hold a sector near the morrocan frontier called Nemours. He wanted to apply the same techniques he learned during the indochine war. He says after how they was equiped and approved by the french government. As he chose some high trained soldiers with him it was a very effective commando but eventually got dissolved. The author admires this commando saying it was really an elite commando, always ready, effective, etc. They killed 600 rebels, took 79 weapons,60 grenades, 30 radio posts, 15 mines, 400 hideouts which 18 were occupied. He says it was possible because of the decisive actions of commandant Delayen.

I skipped mainly of the first page because it is full of names of people who worked to create this commando (mainly administrative)

maybe it's because i wear camo for a living, but i don't know why people would WANT to wear camo...it's so tacky...

>>7849137
Thanks frenchbro

>>7849146
What country?
If you're 'merican I can fully understand why you'd have negative feelings about camo.
Doubt anyone here is meaning to wear full camo.
You guys do use the "only one item with camo" rule here on /fa/ too right?

>>7849174
the other website is coming ;)

>>7849174
One camo item rule applies. I really wish I could wear modern hunting camo, but I live in hicksville and people walk around in full camo unironically.

The commando YATAGAN was a counter-guerillla unit composed of algerian volunteers (harkis and regulars) for the search of information and its exploitation on the sector DBFM. Its official creation was the November 1956. It was administratevely named 80ème GMPR (mobile group of rural protection). It was placed under the command of captain Delayen, a «choc» marsouin (slang for marine infantry) who had already commanded localy recruted soldiers in Indochina.
This commando was under the order of the 2nd bureau of the DBFM, directed by LV bastard. The commando was deployed in the north of Beraoun (10Km of Nemours). He was near the 2/DBFM.
In January 1957, the captain Delayen had 51 volunteers supervised by 14 officers of the DBFM with captain Berthout of GMPR. Most of the officers were experienced fighters who had already fought in Indochina. The flag of the commando was made by Mrs Delayen. The commando was dissolved the 01/06/1959.

The other stuff is technical but I find this interesting.
Reasons for volunteers to join the commando:
60% vengeance against the fellaghas
20% loyalty to France
10% wanting to redeem themselves
10% because they were interested

>>7849190
Personally I find some of the rarely / un issued / prototype camos real interesting.
I'd like to do some stuff in pic related but I'm the /gd/ guy, not the one with the milsurp and printing contacts.

>>7849198
Thanks again frenchbro, you're a real hero.

anytime

>>7844006
This is fucking sick

>>7844006
>>7844086
omg these are hnng

>>7849212
Supreme is coming out with a parka that has that print but it has a patch on the back

>>7849269
Looks like they just stiched the patch onto the back of one of the parkas, since they only made this pattern as a parka and pants

Are there any patterns that would blend in with Georgia's red clay? It looks like the surface of mars.

>>7849174

yup 'murican army pog reporting for duty.

>>7849279
Again, I'm no camo collector nor expert.
Go to /k/ and find the thread where some tripfags talk about camo and ask there if you want something to actually conceal yourself.
Pic related might do, but I doubt you'll get your hands on it.

mat 49s.. the french made them so they are garage quality

>>7850716
Don't worry though, the (most correct to date) repros are soon to be released.
Check the milsurp cirklejerk in a few weeks /k/omrade.

>>7844006
w2c?

>>7850751
Nowhere.
It's one of Cramers patterns, and he only sells like 600 of his wildly useless stuff.

is black camo even a thing? i found pic related and i've always wanted one
also i would throw money to white camo, any rare white camo?

>>7851449

>>7851488
cool af

I like angular, blocky designs. Flecktarn is the most common camo but also the most iconoic (imo)

The jackets from Inception's winter scene were pretty nice. I'd definitely wear one if I found one for a good price.

Pic related.

>>7851628
flecktarn is far from the most iconic camo

>>7851628
>Flecktarn is the most common camo but also the most iconoic

its nowhere close to being either or do you live in germany or something

>>7851449
It's not, besides the new multiscam black and some old "police"/night camo which all suck at concealment and generally look awful.
You could however buy something common or a reproduction of something less common and dye it black.

White camo is snow camo. Scandinavian countries do that shit real good. Pic in next post related .

>>7851628
innaeurope / hipster milsurp scene Flecktarn is probably the most iconic. In total I'm pretty sure it's the US Woodland. ERDL / DPM are pretty huge too.

>>7851628
that looks like some 80s b-movie prop, what kind of autist would dress themselves in that

>>7845032
>do you remove the patches and tags?
nope

>>7844086
Unlike that one, you can get pic related (for ~230$)
It's made for operating operationally though so the The cut is purely functional and materials made to endure rather than look pretty at a catwalk.

That's shit hot. W2c?

I think you're lazy.

>>7853341
I plan on walking to the gym with it on. Does that count

I'm new to /fa/ and should be lurking but I wanna put my two cents in.

I used to be a massive camo freak, especially when I was a kid. What worked best for me was actually to wear plain green or desert coured clothes.

That being said, camo looks GREAT as an accessory; hats, messenger bags, laces, belts and scarfs all look amazing in camo, especially when paired with the traditional army-ish colors.

If I were you I'd be working on accessories because camo accessories actually work great with a lot of stuff, and people will feel like idiots buying massive camo jackets.

>>7854270
>What worked best for me was actually to wear plain green or desert coured clothes.
Seconded.

>>7854285

My aunties friend was in the USMC and was able to get me an authentic US cap and messenger bag. 14YO faggot me lost the bag (looking back, it was a god tier bag, it was beautiful) but I still have the cap, can maybe dig out this weekend.

>>7854270
>people will feel like idiots buying massive camo jackets
thats half the appeal

the only problem is the sleeves most of the time

>>7844134
It's not Rhodesia anymore
are you my grandparents?

make some dazzle camo shit

>>7854296

What's wrong with camo sleeves?

Also you're tacky and I hate you.
Maybe it's just me, but the only people I seem to meet who like wearing camo,especially camo jackets are obnoxious hipsters and military wannabe's. I take one look at them and think "man, they look fucking stupid".

Maybe I've got it wrong, i was going for a hip, military look; maybe you guys just want something spicy.

>>7854311
i was talking about the fit of the sleeves, i dont know what you're going on about and dont really give a shit to be honest

>>7854299
Oh god yes. This.
Make sure people can't tell where the fuck I am in the room.
Dazzle camo for people is genius.

Probably won't ever be printed but this pattern is my own.
