History

Britain's Disruptive Pattern Material entered service in the late 1960s, refining the brushstroke tradition begun with the WWII Denison smock. Through numerous colorway revisions it clothed UK forces for four decades and was exported or copied across the Commonwealth and beyond. MTP replaced it from 2010.
