Belgian Army Jacket - Jigsaw Camouflage

This army camo jacket is a genuine Belgian army surplus combat jacket in 'Jigsaw' camouflage.

Did you know? The white parts in the jigsaw camo pattern were originally a misprint! Despite this the Belgian armed forces decided to keep the pattern. It has since gone through three additional tweaks in the design, with the white parts only being removed in 2005. Originally introduced in 1956 the pattern continues in use today.
