US Military 6-Color Desert "Chocolate Chip" Camo BDU Cargo Pants - Genuine Issue - 1980s

Model Name: TROUSERS, DESERT CAMOUFLAGE PATTERN, COMBAT

* Dead stock, worn 3-4 times after purchase. Selling because I bought a LARGE size.

This is a genuine U.S. military surplus item, the desert camouflage pattern used during the Gulf War, commonly known as "chocolate chip" or "6-color desert camo." It was the first desert camouflage adopted by the U.S. military. Officially, it's called DBDU (Desert Battle Dress Uniform).

This item is from the 80s. The 6C desert (chocolate chip) pattern is rarely seen in the market. It was used by the U.S. Marine Corps (U.S.M.C.) during the Gulf War and is a cargo pant. It was developed based on the Mojave Desert in California, and later replaced by the 3-color desert camo type.

The material is a cotton and nylon blend twill. It features a button fly front, and the waist can be finely adjusted with adjusters on both sides (photo 7). It has a 6-pocket design with two side pockets, two back pockets, and two cargo pockets. The knees have tucks, making it easy to move without pulling when bending the knees. The hem has a drawcord (photo 8) for adjustable fit.

This is a hard-to-find item that is rarely seen in today's market.

The successor model, the 3C desert camo, is more common, but the 6C desert camo is a valuable item.

The golden size MEDIUM REGULAR is rare.

I will try to show any noticeable damage, but there may be unnoticed stains, etc. The information is based on my own research on the internet, so there may be errors.
