US Army Mechanics Coveralls, UCP

Description

These are USGI Mechanics Coveralls in the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). These Coverall were used within the US Army giving mechanics a working uniform that was separate from their duty uniform. Coveralls are a great have if you’re a mechanic, farm hand, miner or any other dirty job occupation where you don’t want to ruin your nice clothes. These Coveralls feature a full length zipper closer, zippered chest pockets, shoulder pockets, hand pockets, adjustable sleeve and pant cuffs and external loop fields for patches or other identifiers. Overall, these coveralls are a great choice have for any individual in a dirty job who wants to suit up for less.

Please note some Mechanics Coveralls have name, service, rank loop slots on the chest and others have a single loop field with webbing loops on the opposing side. At the time we CAN NOT accommodate requests for a specific version.

• Pants Back Pocket – Has pockets on the seat of the pants.

• Two Way Zipper – Zipper includes two pulls allowing the user to open and close the zipper at different areas.
• Adjustable Sleeve Cuffs – Sleeves have either a button or hook and loop adjustable cuff for fit and wear.
• Universal Camouflage Pattern, UCP – Following in the steps of the USMC and its adoption of a digital camo, the US Army adopted the Universal Camo Pattern in 2004. The pattern was designed to function suitably in any environment. The overall intention of a camo capable of that is to remove the need to issue a camo pattern for each potential combat zone and environment, thus making the production and issuing of camo easy to troops. The camo was adopted and saw use in both Iraq and Afghanistan, where it would perform at best adequately. As a result of the camo not performing as good as intended the US Army began looking for a replacement. By 2011 the US Army would test in a variation of UCP, UCP-D, against Multicam in Afghanistan in the search for a replacement. By 2012 all US Army Soldiers deploying as combat troops to Afghanistan would be issued uniforms and gear in Multicam and UCP would be phased out of service in 2019 as a service camo. UCP would commonly come to be referred to as ACU, based of the adoption of the ACU pattern uniform that was adopted at the same time, much the same as the woodland camo came to be called BDU.
