ACU Combat Uniform Shirt

The Tru Spec ACU Digital Army Combat Uniform Shirt is a field blouse built to the Army Combat Uniform pattern, printed in the gray, tan and green digital camouflage the ACU is known for. It suits airsoft and milsim players, reenactors, collectors completing a uniform set, and anyone who wants a hard-wearing work shirt with plenty of pockets. Hook-and-loop panels on the chest and sleeves take name tapes, rank and patches without sewing.

Features

Built To GL/PD 07-13A Class 8 — The shirt follows the government purchase description for the ACU coat, so its cut and features match the military's own published standard rather than a maker's take on it.
50/50 NYCO Ripstop — The fabric is equal parts nylon and cotton, woven with a reinforcing grid so a small tear cannot run, and vat dyed for lasting color.
Permanent Press Finish — A wrinkle-resistant treatment keeps the shirt presentable straight out of a pack or the dryer.
Slanted Chest Pockets — Two angled chest pockets close with hook-and-loop flaps and are easier to reach into than straight-cut pockets.
Hook-And-Loop Shoulder Pockets — Each upper sleeve has a pocket faced with hook-and-loop for unit patches, flags or ID panels.
Name Tape And Rank Fields — Hook-and-loop strips above the chest pockets and a tab at center chest accept name tapes, service tapes and rank insignia.
Mandarin Collar — The zigzag-stitched stand-up collar can be worn up to protect the neck from chafing under body armor.
Reinforced Elbow Pad Pouches — Pouches at the elbows accept internal pads and add a second layer of fabric where sleeves wear fastest.
Sleeve Pen Slot — A slot on the forearm keeps a pen within reach without opening a pocket.

Fabric And Construction

Tru Spec makes this shirt in a 50/50 nylon/cotton blend, often shortened to NYCO: the nylon adds abrasion resistance and the cotton keeps it breathable and comfortable against the skin. High-wear areas are reinforced throughout. Because it is cut to the issue specification, it pairs with matching ACU trousers and takes standard hook-backed name tapes and patches.
