Desert Digital Camo BDU Shirt

Desert Digital BDU Shirt

The Rothco Desert Digital Camo BDU Shirt follows the US military's standard-issue Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) shirt, the long-sleeved, four-pocket field blouse worn over a T-shirt. Its pixelated pattern of sand, tan and brown suits dry, open terrain. Airsoft and paintball players, hunters, re-enactors and anyone who wants a rugged work shirt with plenty of pocket space will find it useful. It pairs with matching desert digital BDU pants for a full uniform.

Features

• 55/45 Cotton-Polyester Twill — The blend of 55% cotton and 45% polyester is woven as twill, a tight diagonal weave that resists abrasion and holds its shape after repeated washing.
• Desert Digital Camouflage — A pixel-style pattern in light sand, tan and brown breaks up your outline in arid and dusty surroundings.
• Four Bellowed Pockets — Two chest pockets and two lower pockets have bellows, pleated sides that expand so the pocket holds bulkier items without pulling the shirt out of shape.
• Button-Down Pocket Flaps — Every pocket closes under a buttoned flap, which keeps contents in place when you are moving, kneeling or crawling.
• Reinforced Elbows — An extra layer of fabric at each elbow guards against wear where the sleeve meets the ground or a rest.
• Adjustable Button-Tab Cuffs — A buttoned tab at each cuff lets you snug the sleeve around the wrist or loosen it for airflow.
• Button Front Closure — The shirt fastens down the front with buttons set behind a fabric placket, so they sit flat and stay protected from snags.
• Double-Stitched Seams — Two rows of stitching along the main seams spread the load and help the shirt survive hard field use.
• Military-Spec Pattern — The shirt follows the MIL-C-44048G military specification, the government's own published standard for this garment rather than a maker's loose interpretation.

Construction And Fit

Rothco builds this shirt to the cut and layout of the issue BDU, so it fits and wears the way a military field shirt does: a straight, roomy body meant to be worn untucked or over a T-shirt as a light jacket. The cotton-polyester twill is more durable and quicker drying than all-cotton cloth while still breathing reasonably well. It is a newly manufactured commercial garment, not military surplus.
