Refined from Vietnam-era geometry, recolored in the same Coyote palette that would define the Corps’ camouflage for decades. It passed every test. The digital pattern won anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other side carries Urban T-Block — purpose-built rather than adapted, its medium grey, dark grey, and black rectangular blocks designed as a pattern-breaker against concrete and shadow. The experimental T-Block BDU appeared during the 1999 Urban Warrior exercises in Oakland and Alameda — and was never officially adopted. Roughly 800 sets were produced. Originals now fetch four figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear either.
