Yeah, nah, these fullas are a bit munted aye.
For a non kiwi, that basically means these are a bit worse for wear. These shirts are in their twilight years, though a lot of them have light damage as far as our Grade 2 system goes. You might end up with a total score [good one] but these will have some battle damage that limits their function.
The most tu meke and primo of NZ camouflage, New Zealand DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material)! Though introduced earlier, this round of NZDPM spans from the 90's onwards. And man, they are rowdy - some are like British tropical DPM with bright froggy greens, some are more subdued like Dutch with rich earthy tones. Some are straight up like banana yellow from age and manufacture. Glorious. These shirts are precursor or alternatives to the ripstop versions. With the adoption of MCU in 2013, NZDPM was set to retire, so these are becoming fairly collectable for niche camouflage connoisseurs and people that love a bit of Aotearoa history
This shirt features a YKK zip and button front with two chest pockets on either side. There are also buttoned pockets on both sleeve shoulders and the cuffs are button adjustable. These shirts were manufactured in New Zealand which is becoming harder to find and for a small country, we sure did love print and manufacturer variations. Like our other batches of NZ camo, these are a NZDPM rainbow - from the modern darker tones to brighter tropical. Some are a bit faded and loaded with character. Pick one up and show this old boy some TLC.
