Dutch Army Woodland DPM Field Jacket

Dutch Army DPM Jacket

This field jacket was issued by the Dutch Army in woodland DPM camouflage, cut as an outer shirt-jacket you can wear over a T-shirt or under a heavier layer. Zippered chest pockets keep small kit from falling out when you crouch or climb, and hook-and-loop panels take name tapes and insignia. It suits collectors of NATO uniforms, reenactors building a Dutch impression, and anyone who wants a hardwearing camo jacket for the woods, the range or the workshop.

Features

• Woodland DPM Camouflage — DPM stands for Disruptive Pattern Material, a four-color brushstroke pattern of green, brown, tan and black that breaks up your outline in wooded country.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — The mixed fabric pairs the comfort of cotton with the abrasion resistance and quicker drying of polyester.
• Snap-Front Closure — Black press studs run the length of the placket, so you can open or close the jacket quickly, even with gloves on.
• Zippered Chest Pockets — Two large chest pockets close with zips rather than buttoned flaps, giving faster access while keeping the contents secure.
• Hook-And-Loop Patch Panels — Olive Velcro panels above the left chest pocket and high on the right chest accept name tapes, rank or unit patches.
• Upper Sleeve Pocket — A flapped pocket on the upper arm holds a pen, notebook or small item you want within easy reach.
• Shoulder Straps — Epaulettes on each shoulder carry rank slides and help hold a sling or strap in place.
• Adjustable Snap Cuffs — Snaps at the cuffs let you tighten the sleeves to keep out wind, brush and insects, or loosen them for airflow.
• Genuine Dutch Army Issue — This is original government-issue clothing from the Netherlands armed forces, made to military specification.

Issue And Construction

The jacket follows the Dutch Army's own field-uniform pattern: a pointed collar, a snap placket, zip chest pockets and a sleeve pocket, all in a cotton and polyester blend. Because it is genuine issue, the cut, hardware and camouflage print are what Dutch soldiers wore, which matters to collectors and reenactors who want provenance. The pocket layout and patch panels also make it a practical everyday field layer.
