British 1968 DPM Combat Uniform set
Smock and Trousers, Combat, 1968 Pattern
The first really major deviation from the first DPM combat uniform introduced during the Korean war, the 1968 pattern uniform sees quite a bit of simplification, the elbow patches are gone from the smock, as is the stitched collar, the back seam is gone and there are other small detail differences. The trousers have lost the knee pads which ran as a double-thick layer around the centre part of the leg in previous patterns but a second map pocket was added to the right leg.
