Churr cuzzy it's the New Zealand DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material) shirts in ripstop! Retired in 2013 these are the final iterations before being replaced with the MCU cut and camo. RIP NZDPM.
Our latest batch of shirts are a snapshot of evolution into the ripstop realm. Some have the older cut with standard collar, zip & button front button down chest/shoulder pockets. In the mix are the later (around 2008), modernised cut featuring a mandarin collar that can be worn up or down, vertical zippered chest pockets and plenty of hook & loop surfaces for patches.
For a small country, we sure did love print and manufacturer variations. Like our other batches of NZ camo, these are a NZDPM rainbow - from the modern darker tones to brighter tropical. Some are a bit faded, full of character and still ready to roll. Increasingly harder to find, this is one for the collectors, kiwis or hunters because this camouflage just goes hard!
