Desert Camo Trousers and Camouflage (Part 1)
I enjoyed this v. much, thank you. There are so many contested opinions when one takes a 'deep dive' into even relatively modern military kit but this was a nicely balanced overview. My own area of interest is the post-war para smock. My 1970's service coincided with the withdrawal of the Denison and the issue of the DPM. There are some interesting tales about that process. 🙂 Possibly, I might have been one of the 'final few' regular recruits issued a Denison at Depot although I believe that TA units used up the surplus for a few years after 1977. I own several post-war Denisons, including the one I was originally issued with. I swapped out a totally knackered army surplus one for the 'new' DPM when the change occurred and kept my own Denison although wearing them at work was forbidden. Back in those days Denisons were as cheap as chips and worn by just about everyone on building sites!
Is there a list of contract numbers and their corresponding dates?
I love the denison smock its icon.
Wikipedia tells me that the camouflage pattern was developed by a Major Denison.
That's an error. No one with the name Denison was involved with the development of the smock. The name is probably a corruption of denim.
That's what I thought too via Wikipedia.
@@militaryjunkwell I live and learn.
@@jamesross1799 Wikipedia is unreliable to say the least, it's always worth verifying via other sources too. It can put you on the right tracks and help you go down rabbitholes via links in the text which is great fun, but I use that to find out more from other sources. Knowing other languages too helps as wiki in other countries often has very different entries, they aren't just translated from English.
I bought a smock as a teenager in the '60 from a deposal store in Woking, Surrey. I mostly wore it for fishing. It has the wool collar, four patch pockets with buttons and the beaver tail with pop studs. The camo has a brush stroke look. I'm not sure it's WW2 origin. It might be later than that. What's more, I still have it.
label not intact?
I've a replica ww2 one I wear for fishing. You certainly made an investment there mate.
@@militaryjunkNo, it tore out years ago.
@@payres48 hello sir can i buy your smock?
I'd have a look online to compare with Rhodesian brushstroke - although I don't think it's that because they didn't have beaver tails afaik. Or perhaps it's a Belgian Denison, those had small beaver tails. Otherwise I think Portuguese troops in the wars in Angola / Mozambique used brushstroke camo. Whichever it is it's probably worth a fair bit and I am talking hundreds, depending on it's condition.
Good effort. I don't want to disparage you but I'd lose the completely era inappropriate music and try to record the sound with something other than a gramophone.
thanks for the feedback.
Get the book "Denison", it calls out many of the errors you have made. Eg Windak was an officers smock. Zero evidence it was an early version. Only Brigadiers & above were seen wearing them. Early camo versions were hand painted but later "1st patterns" were roller printed. And had wool cuffs. And tail did not press stud onto the back. 2nd pattern (buttoned cuff" were only printed. Any with full zips were tailored usually using sleeveless oversmock zippers.
thanks
You repeatedly state that they are not well made, you obviously never had an '85 pattern Para smock issued to you lol. Nice video.
The 85 pattern gear was abysmal. The 50s smocks and the 70s version were great kit. Not sure what the MTP versions were like.
@@samb2052 I joined in 1985 and was issued a '68 pattern (have been told it was probably a '72 pattern!?) and an '85 later on (87 I think). The '85 was bloody awful, although not as bad as the trousers with the big elephants ears pockets flapping around.
@@samb2052From what ive seen the actual MTP Para Smock and other pieces of gear is made in China or India, fabric is nice and soft, from what ive had in MTP its not bad but i think it could be improved in fabrics since it doesnt use something like ripstop and i cant tell you how it works in winter or rainy weathers since in my country theres no snow and rains are heavy but most often its hot afterwards.
yeap :D
I still have my Denison smock as issued to me in the sixties a bit worn but still hanging in there.
nice :)
Jolly good show old chap.
Thanks.
Winston Churchill was so ahead of things.
yeap
Fall Schirm Jäger
den svenska denisonen?
@@militaryjunk No he wrote ''paratrooper'' in German, but it's one word so only capital on the first letter. In WW2 they were part of the Luftwaffe though and were initially issued something called a Fliegerbluse (flying jacket/shirt) , the same as other Luftwaffe personnel.
A bit of constructive criticism. Next time you do a video, please improve the lighting. Could hardly see the features you were talking about !
thanks for the feedback.
Is there an English language PDF version of the Swedish Army manual available ? If so , do you have a link for it ?
Nope, there isn't. Sorry.
I hope you can help me out. Years ago I bought a British Army Style Aluminum mess kit at Surplus store. It came with a two snap pouch. On the larger pan, it has the markings FMI over M\54 which during my research I discovered that it was Swedish Markings. I subsequently saw one for sale on E-bay. During all my research, I cannot find any history about these mess kits and the Swedish Armed forces. Do you have any knowledge about them?
멋진 영상 최고 훌륭합니다. 좋은 푸드 컨테이너입니다.
ah, the fabled LK70! i wonder how many wishlists around the world feature that beautiful thing? nice overview, thank you. 👍🏼✌🏼🖖🏼
This is a great video with some mess kit information thanks for sharing
No external pockets = no good.
Everything is made in China now in the Swedish Army!
i can also add that the frame can be used as platform for carrying ammo. We converted the wooden box for 7.62mm ammo to contain belts for maschinegun, thus turing it into a one man weapon
Try it on, why don't ya! More informative if you huff a couple of miles fully loaded before passing judgement ;-)
Yep, load it up and go for walk. Looks like a good pack, just a big sack with lots of places to add things.
It is no longer used as a backpack. Now it is used to carry ammunition to Carl Gustaf. There is room for four fastened to the frame if it is used.
The strap on the back that you didnt know what is was for, - we used it for securing an axe with the axehead secure under thetop lid and the shaft through the "handle" as you called it.
Or a foldable combat shovel (thats what we used it for)
I have a Slovakian jacket. The magazine pockets are good for a plastic water bottle and the large one holds a field book.
Later pattern without the dots
yeap.
Great video .. I'm still wearing my DPM underpants ! 😜😜💪💪
Very good explained and compared! Thank you sir 👍
I've just finished lining an Mtp smock with Dpm, reversible as needed.🤘🙂
nice
I still need to pack/repack and figure what's going where but it's got a proper oldschool mentality behind it.

I was issued this piece of kit in the Royal Guards in April 2008. Quite good stuff! I recall that as a recruit in those late spring and early summer months, I had a hard time seeing the point in such a large pack, as I never used any cold weather or rain clothing. I suppose the guys who started in December had a different experience though!
thanks. I like these types of bergens.
For a long time in the 70's & 80's Danish kit was like hen's teeth - they destroyed all surplus/returned kit to prevent it being used by eastern bloc infiltrators.
Oh!
I like the design of the Bergen. it's a bit like the Alice packs the US army used to carry. I have 2 of the medium size and one large size. they are old but still work very well. thank you for showing the Danish one. very nice. Dwayne
Thanks, I like them too.
Lindo,beautifu

After the Falklands tactics and training changed, and a new uniform was needed to reflect those changes. Troops were already wearing jungles and windproofs in Sennybridge training areas because they dried faster. The 68 pattern was expensive, so finding something cheaper was also sought. A colourway was dropped as the MOD found out they didn't own the rights to the print method or possibly even the actual design when they changed manufacturer. Sizing changed to metric. Ten years off rubbish design and manufacture followed until "95 came out. All sorts of cloth and material tried, including rip stop, and the DPM got darker and darker with fewer colour ways and more simple patterns. No "dots" nor edge highlights. Some was dreadful. Where as the early DPM was often thought too light coloured, the later patterns were too dark turning almost black when wet. For the UK and Europe the 1970's DPM works very well in the woods and fields. Later DPM never worked as well, and a radical change to MTP was welcomed.
thanks
AWESOME VIDEO!
Thanks!
Why don’t the wives understand how great all these jackets are. Not to mention valuable and extremely well made and awesome. I guess they naturally have that flaw not being able to see quality
If you ever find an answer to that, let us know.
I’ve still got 2 brand new jackets and 2 trousers, brand new size 9, good gear as long as it’s dry!
yeap, there were good stuff. Thanks.
I think DPM is the most attractive camouflage ever created- I wore the US woodland camo when I served, but the DPM is a much more softer natural looking camo the blends well in the correct environment. They even have it in desert shades as well. great video.
Thanks. It was also more effective than woodland.
I never served. I was an army Cadet late 80 into early 90 and remembered the variation. I thought it was just because we got old worn hand me downs in various states of wear ie washed, ironed, faded, it was really obvious at twilight with some kit almost glowing in the dull light.
I don't thing the British army really sorted out the variations until C95.
Pants?
only have the C95 and DDPM trousers.
Beautifu
thanks
I really preferred the 68 pattern which was a better quality jacket but the trousers took forever to dry. The 84 pattern was poorly designed and manufactured and required a lot of modifications to even make it useful. That said the windproofs were great especially private purchase ones which there were several companies making in the 80s . I personally much prefer DPM over MTP .
I tend to prefer the 68 pattern and I think MTP doesn't work as well as DPM in a woodland environment.
I always think the original 68 pattern is the most effective DPM, even now.
Visually, I would agree. I think they colours were changed in the 84 pattern to make it more effective in IR.
Was issued 2 smocks and 2 pairs of combat trousers 1982.Non of them matched ,some were lighter shades or much greener.The style was to wear the jackets short and tight by fastening the bottom drawstring and tucking the skirt inside,prefered wear with it, was a pair of narrowed lightweight trousers ,the camo ones were very heavy to wear and slow to dry out,the lightweights dried much quicker.Finally a pair of german para boots were highly prized as opposed to the leaky dpm boots and archaic puttees,if you could get them. Hoods were never issued and even if issued would never have been allowed to wear them as they inhibit visibility.
Thanks. I did see a unit photo one. There was about 30-ish lads in the picture and there DPM jackets varied. I think there was about seven different variations in the DPM colouring.
I remember the 85 issue, and it was terrible, was only fit for guard duty, in the field we all preferred a sas windproof and tropical trousers instead, at least they didnt stay wet, the quality and fit was not as good as the pervious issue, just like the previous issue there were a lot of variations in the pattern, some were smaller and crisper, like the smock I was issued in basic, the pattern was noticeably smaller and darker than anyone else's, so much so the brown was almost purple, back in '85 it must have been towards the end of the previous issue as some blokes got the previos kit, and one bloke with huge feet ended up with DMS boots and puttees instead of the O-11 boots, his boots didnt fall apart like mine.. but thats another story, it wasnt uncommon to see some DPM had the black part of the pattern shifted, this appeared to be variation by the different manufacturers, it came without any lining for the smock but the trousers were still lined during my time, but in truth blokes used to cut the lining out of the older smocks anyway as they dried quicker and were easier iron without it, the seams were awful and the trousers used to always split under the crotch, the only thing good about it was it was easy to iron and the internal front pockets were easy to dump mags down, but the front chest pockets seemed to be deliberately designed for things to fall out of them if you bent over to pick something up... but saying that smokers used to take advantage of the FFD pouch on the back of the right arm.
Thanks. Yeap, I had heard the 85 pattern had a bad reputation. Things were meant to have improved with the 95 pattern.
Thanks, very informative and well done video. I am a collector of british militaria of the cold war era, and found your explanation while browsing around. Very detailed and useful. Thanks again.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
very good camo pattern, familiar to the US woodland BDU pattern. I have a few items that have DPM and they also come in the lighter tan desert variation.
Some times wonder if they have a common origin but haven't seen anything to say so. But then the US woodland did come out many years after DPM, so perhaps M81 takes some inspiration from DPM? I did do a little video on the desert DPM studio.ruclips.net/user/videowwTCii4R1nQ/edit
I think I must have been half asleep last night. Woke up this morning and realised M81 was just a modification to ERDL which came out in 1948, predating DPM. Still wonder if they all derive or were influenced by German Leibermuster.
