Thanks to all the following members for previous trades: Tony (White bear), jimmyh, DanDan The man called Dan, waddcal, kawasemi, sensi5446, Rancid badger, launditch1 and Mesquie.

If what you want to swap is worth more than the item you want, I'm sure we can come to some agreement.

And I guess I could always use some WHS / M&S / Amazon vouchers if you have any laying around. PM me with offers

Hi just for your info the desert kit is commonly known as:

either "6 colour Desert camo" or "chocolate chip camo" this style clothing is known as BDU (Battle Dress Uniform).

both items are US army issue and were issued before and during Gulf war one, untill the US realized that the camo didn't work!!

This camo was designed for rocky deserts found in the US but the Gulf was more sandy.
which is why they designed the "3 colour" camo (if you google the camo remember the US spelling "color" rather than "colour")

apparently if dyed the underlying colours still stand out so a dye of green or brown would make a really good camo for the UK! :) (the buttons will remain a sandy colour though)

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info RAPPLEBY2000.
I wondered where I got this from! I bet this is came from my uncle during the 1st golf war. He gave me several bits of good kit during that time.
(I'm a kit monster!!)
