Commonly known as **“Chocolate Chip Camo,”** this U.S. military desert camouflage pattern stands out with its overwhelming presence. It is a 6-color desert camouflage jacket from the 1990 contract, featuring the DEFENSE PERSONNEL SUPPORT CENTER (DPSC) logo.
Designed for use in desert environments, this unique six-color camouflage features a pattern of beige, brown, and light green tones overlaid with small, rock-like black and white patterns. Because these fine black patterns resemble chocolate chips, the pattern is widely known by the nickname “Chocolate Chip Camouflage.”
Used by the U.S. military since the 1980s, this pattern left a strong impression, particularly as a symbol of U.S. forces during the Gulf War. Its service life was limited due to the transition to the successor 3-color desert camouflage, making it a piece now worthy of renewed appreciation as vintage military gear.
This item is a 1990 contract item, as clearly indicated on the inner label: **“CONTRACT NO. 8055-90” and “DEFENSE PERSONNEL SUPPORT CENTER”**.At the time, the DPSC was a Department of Defense supply organization responsible for procuring and supplying clothing, equipment, and daily necessities for U.S. military personnel; this notation evokes the history of the U.S. military’s vast logistics system, which evolved into the current Defense Logistics Agency.
The front features four large flap pockets. Combined with the 50% cotton/50% nylon fabric, this design embodies the practicality of military apparel—it is far more than just a camouflage jacket.
This particular piece is a SMALL-SHORT. The label indicates HEIGHT 63–67, CHEST 33–37, and NATO SIZE 6070/8494. Among 6C Desert jackets, it has a clean silhouette that’s easy to wear, and the balance unique to the short length is particularly appealing.
Although it is used, it is in good condition. While there are some signs of wear and natural aging, it maintains a clean overall appearance, and you can fully appreciate the distinctive 6C camouflage pattern. This is a piece we recommend not only for your collection but also for wearing regularly.
Like the SMALL-REGULAR mentioned earlier, this is a DPSC item from the 1990 contract. It’s fun to compare it with the other size, and I highly recommend this piece to anyone who’s been searching for a 6C Desert in a specific size.
Condition: Used / Shows some signs of wear and aging. Overall, this is a piece in good condition.
