"Above: To the left the US lime ERDL and to the right the Singapore ERDL copy. You can see some part of the pattern is a copy of the US pattern, but other parts of the pattern is not. ( "http://www.henrikc.dk/camouflage/comparison/copiesuserdl.asp" )

Interesting huh?

Btw, noticed RSAF No. 4 and Army No. 4 seem to be of a slightly different colour-anyone can confirm?

sir sickolot II SG

the taiwan No. 4 looks like our gortex jacket pattern

aiya all camo patterns look smiliar la... all copied to ensure the outline is broken when one hides in the jungle.

and i don't think rsaf and saf no. 4 are different.. you mean from different supplier meh?

chanjyj SG

No no. Pattern same, but colour looks more subdued on the army version? (I konwgot johnsen and hong sing)

Most uniforms copy each other-but if you look at the website... singapore copy until almost 100% exact match, cm for cm Laughing

whitenoise SG

The RSAF emarts sell the same no 4 as the army ones so why would it be different?

chanjyj SG

Go and look at the colour between what the FDS is wearing and what the commandos are wearing (easy-go to changi village and you will see CAB FDS and Hendon CDO)

The RSAF seems to be more saturated in colour (how else to describe I dunno)

whitenoise SG

OK... it seems more likely in this case that the commandos are wearing non-standard No. 4, cause I don't think FDS uniforms would be different from the Army ones?

I do duty on a regular basis with SBAB FDS, don't think their No. 4 is different from my BMT issues.

Maybe they're just newer. Razz

Gordonator SG

RSAF no.4 looks greener cos they seldom wear it. Laughing

relackjack SG

ey anyone has an idea what differences does the new no. 4 have?

will4 SG

I read somewhere SAF is going to issued a digi no 4 uniform like to US army.

LazerLordz SG

Still waiting... akan datang until spiderwebs have grown.. Laughing

KoolKool SG

There has been improvements in the No. 4.

In the past, whatever size shirts and pants you get, the pockets are the same sizes. Laughing

Now it look more proportionate.

bcoy SG

Anybody here used the early generation uniforms that faded to grey?
The uniforms up to the mid 90s were lighter greenish shade. From then on, it went on to a darker brownish shade. Plus there are minor differences with the pockets, etc........... Still copies of the old US ERDL patterns.

martin_lim85 SG

chanjyj dun think to much lah, wat RSAF no4 greener anot. all the same, just batch different only some look old some look new only lol

tarutaru SG

I think also maybe different batches of cloth there maybe slight different in the shade of green. During my time, those who wear S size no 4 shirt and M size no 4 pant, the shirt always appeared lighter in color.

chanjyj SG

eh mrtin, just did a check with some contacts in ST -they told me tht SAF want to remove BLACK in the unniforms and replace it with VERY dark grey becaue of fengshui?! Shocked

Gordonator SG

just something interesting which came to my mind.

it's good to pair your no.4 shirt and pants correctly. if not, u might end up wearing a faded shirt and a very green pants. Laughing

yes i have seen it. it looks funny.

relackjack SG

i think it's more of the colour pure black is not commonly found in nature

chanjyj SG

My one is the opposite.. I wore a new shirt and faded pants Embarassed

LazerLordz SG

Faded pants, not too bad.

I had this funny habit of picking out new no.4 sets with more khaki and brown in the uniform. Laughing
