Hey guys, Any idea which units are issued out Jungle hat aka boonies. I heard now only scout and Commandos are issued. The hat sure looks good.

Gordonator SG

snake inside your your pants. Laughing

acwire_2125 SG

hha! Nice one.

Speaking about uniform, I heard that the new uniform has the word SINGAPORE in olive drab sewed on the left side. Can any one take a pic of the new uniform and a pic of the old uniform and post it up? thanks!

Hellraiza SG

currently the commandos, scouts, NDU and 1 ADF are given the jungle hat.

as for the name tag u can check http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=180128&page=4

what are these rip-stop and CADPAT? any pix?

acwire_2125 SG

Rip stop is the method they sew their cloth. When a rip stop tear, it will only tear unitl the small square and will not cost the whole material to tear!

herre is the pic:

CADPAT is a type of camouflage developed by the Canadians

The guy on the left is wearing the CADPAT, The guy on the right is wearing the desert CADPAT.

For your information...

If your number 4 tag is "Hong Seng" brand, it's made in China. The pre-2003 issue have a "made in china" tag which has since been removed.

THe "Johsen" brand i suspect is Locally made but i can't confirm.

I prefer the Johsen brand No 4 over the Hong Seng one.

Hong Seng one gets "furry" after some time.

acwire_2125 SG

So the uniforms really do have brands? Hey, then I think those made in Beach Road are the best quality?

elitefella SG

Haha!! Yah agree that it gets furry, especially the velcro parts....Isn't it Hong Sing? http://www.hongsing.com.sg/main2.html

Gordonator SG

i was issued the 'Hong Seng' brand, all 5 of them. but i bought myself 1 set of Johsen for parade use.

actually i find it easier to fold smart 4 with the 'Hong Seng' brand. Laughing

I went to the hong sing website and found this:
http://www.hongsing.com.sg/camouniform3.html

I take it that the above is what we will be issued with if we were to be sent to the desert?

It looks like the designer accidentally spilt popcorn all over the shirt. Smile

acwire_2125 SG

The shirt you see it is actually a US old six colour desert camo. I think it is not very good camo i the desert. The best so far is the UK type DPM desert camo.

LazerLordz SG

There was a photo of our SAF soldiers in desert camo, it was part of the RSAF group photo before their deployment to Iraq, let me try to find it.

acwire_2125 SG

Oh! You mean SAF has issued Desert uniform before? Is it in the above pattern? NEat! I also want to see the pics!

gnoik SG

So did u manage to find it? Rolling Eyes

acwire_2125 SG

Yeah! so did you? I am eager to see it. Haven heard of such thigs yet. You are the first to tell me. I may go and send in the desert uniffrom to my friend in Iraq to test the camoflauge! Hope it does a good job! Laughing

Hellraiza SG

are u for real friend!? Laughing

LazerLordz SG

It was in the Mindef archives. Can't seem to find it now.. Shocked

acwire_2125 SG

Yeah, not joking. My friends have sent me from GErmany the Flektarn camo pattern. We often do exchange programme of uniforms. But most of the time, I get lots of them! Laughing

gd4u SG

I heard our No.4 going to be in Digital print liao (i think similar to USMC MARPAT like tt), when will they implement this ??
