History
The commercial descendant of the WWII M1942 frogskin pattern, sold to American hunters from around the late 1940s and nicknamed for its popularity in duck blinds. Surplus and commercial spot camo in this style was worn by Cuban exile forces at the Bay of Pigs and by CIDG and other irregulars in Vietnam. It is still produced today as retro and heritage cloth.
In the field
