you know those tuxedo print t-shirts? I was on vacation in a really shitty part of Florida and saw one in a dead mall where the bowtie and vest were camo printed. it has become one of my favorite shirts and always gets comments/reactions, which allows me to retort, deadpan, "well it seemed like a formal thing so I figured I should dress nice."

generally im with you and I think camo is aesthetically kinda busted looking, especially the modern hunting commercial camp and the US military multicam patterns. I kinda like the old school 80s style more, as a throwback to those action flicks and I could totally see wearing a camo pattern from a nation hostile to NATO.

I have a DDR strichtarn field jacket that's p cool. My partner thinks it's super ugly so I mostly wear it to do yard work lol

Just looked up strichtarn out of curiosity. Is it an effective pattern irl?

It doesn’t look like it would break up form or outline very well at all from photos.

I'm going to guess not really. Most of the people who used it after Czechoslovakia and the DDR are forces in Africa and former Yugoslav conflicts that just used what they could get for cheap.
