Description
This is the current issue garrison uniform top worn in the US Army. It is an updated version of the ACU style uniform. There are hook and loop flapped chest pockets and the top closes up with a two way zipper. The shoulder pockets have been changed to a single piece, no longer with a hook and loop flap. Items can be stored and accessed with a zipper on the shoulder pockets. There are hook and loop fields on each shoulder pocket for patches. The collar no longer has the hook and loop tab for keeping it upright and now lays flat. When new the tops come treated with Permethrin, a insect repellent, that fades in effectiveness with washes. These are a good general purpose outdoor top, when not being worn as a uniform top.
These are the current issue coats in the US Army and are made of a 50% Nylon 50% Cotton material.
DEFECT condition coats are missing fields for name and rank patches!

- Exterior Hook and Loop Fields – There is hook and loop on the outside of the pouch for attaching ID and other patches.
- Adjustable Sleeve Cuffs – Sleeves have either a button or hook and loop adjustable cuff for fit and wear.
- Zip Up Shirt – This shirt is a zip up, which means that the front is closed with a zipper.
- Scorpion Camouflage, OCP – When Multicam was adopted as the replacement for UCP during deployment operations it was also considered for Army wide adoption for uniforms and gear. Licensing fees for the Multicam pattern were deemed to high and the US Army took to the predecessor, Scorpion OCP. Scorpion OCP had been developed alongside Multicam and shares most of the same design. Side by side Multicam and Scorpion look much the same, with differences being subtle. The base color of Scorpion is green, compared to brown in Multicam and the shading of all colors was changed slightly. Scorpion also has no vertical elements in the camo. Scorpion is currently referred to as OCP, or Operational Camouflage Pattern and is used for US Army Uniforms and most Army gear.

Bought 2 of these “defective” tops. 1 looks like a soldier wore it for 2 hours and the other has sewn on name tapes but perfectly usable once they are replaced.
