A 1990 contract, authentic U.S. military 6-Color Desert Camouflage combat jacket. The 6C Desert Camouflage is commonly known as “Chocolate Chip.” Featuring a tan base combined with a large-scale brown pattern and a fine black-and-white rock-like pattern, this is a striking design that epitomizes U.S. military desert camouflage.
According to the label, this item is DLA100-90-C-0584, from the 1990 contract. The contractor is AMERICAN APPAREL, INC., and the fabric is 50% COTTON / 50% NYLON. The size is a very versatile MEDIUM-REGULAR.
The fact that it dates back to 1990 adds to its appeal.6C Desert has been used by the U.S. military since the 1980s and left a strong impression as the iconic camouflage for U.S. military desert gear during the Gulf Crisis and Gulf War of 1990–91. Even from today’s perspective, its unique color scheme and bold pattern are truly one-of-a-kind.
The front features four large pockets with flaps. The streamlined silhouette typical of a combat jacket pairs exceptionally well with the presence of the 6C Desert pattern, making this a piece that stands out as the centerpiece even when worn on its own.
Above all, this particular piece is in excellent condition—virtually unused. Considering its age, the fabric and the vibrancy of the camouflage pattern remain remarkably well-preserved. Among 6C Desert jackets on the used market—many of which show significant wear and fading—this condition is a major selling point.
It’s perfect not only for collecting as Gulf War-era gear but also for actually wearing as vintage military apparel. With a 1990 contract, a MEDIUM-REGULAR fit, and near-new condition, this 6C Desert jacket is a highly recommended find that checks all the boxes.
Please note that, as this is a vintage item that has been in long-term storage, it may exhibit slight wear or signs of aging due to storage conditions.
As this is a used item, returns are not accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
