Did you love the Palouse Camo pattern as much as I did? If so, then this announcement is for you!
This camo is based on the “ERDL” pattern with greens and black applied over a coyote substrate. Here is more information on this pattern:
In 1948, John Hopkins, chief designer of camouflage at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Laboratory (ERDL) in
Fort Belvoir, Virginia, designed a general purpose jungle camouflage consisting of mid-brown & grass green organic shapes
with black branches on a lime green background, this pattern eventually became known as the ‘ERDL’ or ‘leaf’ pattern,
although at the time it was quickly shelved. In 1953 eight camouflage uniforms (mostly hand-painted) were trialled in
Panama. One pattern, called ‘flock’, was found to be very effective but was never issued. The trials did produced two
additional camouflage patterns however that were immediately issued for use by military personnel. Both patterns saw
widespread distribution but only as a reversible shelter half (1953) and a reversible helmet cover (1959), with a
different pattern printed on each side. On one side the USMC “Standard” or “wine leaf” (sometimes called “vine leaf”)
pattern, consisting of large overlapping dark green, lime green & ochre leaf shapes with brown twigs on a pale green
background and on the other, the brown Mitchell ‘cloud’ pattern.
