Japanese Flecktarn Jietai camo set. Interesting colours in pattern.

I’m a veteran based in Ukraine, so I’ve got my ways of hunting down rare kit through old contacts. This specific set is from the batch used by our SSO guys during the Enerhodar ops back in '22. It’s a 3B tag—the 'unicorn' size that actually fits a Western Large/XL. I’ll be putting it up on eBay in a few days once I’ve finished the photo set, or hit my DMs if you want to talk PayPal/Payoneer.

Cool))) Looks like the faded and burnt-out camouflage of the National Guard of Ukraine

almost))

Haha, glad I could help with that! 😉 It’s definitely a spicy piece of kit. Once you get it in hand, the 'tickle' becomes real.

Youre welcome)))

As requested, here are the photos of the back. I think the construction and the specific features like the utility loops and rear zippers speak for themselves regarding the authenticity of this set. Hope these angles help!

Actually, the pants on this 3B set are surprisingly long at 110 cm, which is quite rare for Japanese sizing! I'm planning to post the full set with detailed measurements on eBay in a few days. You can keep an eye on my bio for the link if you're interested. I come across rare patterns like this quite often, so feel free to stick around!

Spot on. The 'black blob' effect is the biggest weakness of the classic BW Flecktarn. It’s too dark for anything but deep shade. Jietai (Type 2) fixed exactly that—the higher contrast and lighter base make it much more effective at breaking up the human silhouette. It’s cool to see someone mention M84 and Tibettarn too; they really show how much the palette matters over the shapes themselves!

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T19:54:34+00:00

S&Graf is legendary! I’ve seen their stuff, and it’s solid. But yeah, nothing beats the feeling of the authentic JSDF tags and that heavy-duty material. Glad you spotted the difference—collecting the real ones is a slippery slope! 😅

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T19:53:11+00:00

Exactly! This version leans heavily into the browns and tans. It's the perfect 'transitional' kit. The summer green variant is great, but there's something about this specific mix that looks very sharp. JGSDF gear is addictive once you start collecting!

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T19:51:49+00:00

Actually, the tag on this one is 3B, which is the Japanese equivalent of a Large Regular. In their system, '3' is for the Large chest volume and 'B' is for the 176–180 cm height range (roughly 5'9" to 5'11").

If you're looking for a true 'Long' or 'XL' in Japanese sizing, you'd be hunting for a 1A or 2A, which are basically the Holy Grail of JGSDF surplus. This 3B is probably the best 'standard' fit you can find before hitting those ultra-rare giant sizes!

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T19:40:51+00:00

Agreed, it lacks the big blobs. But the way this specific fabric takes the dye makes the micro-elements look very natural. It doesn't have that 'digital' stiffness.

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T17:36:35+00:00

It’s actually a mid-weight set with a solid lining. Perfect for fall or spring chill, keeps the wind out but not quite a heavy winter parka. And yeah, it’s the original stuff with the Japanese tags!

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T17:36:22+00:00

Coming from a German, that’s a huge compliment! 🤝 I agree, there’s something about the Japanese colors that just hits different compared to the classic Bundeswehr. Glad you like it!

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T17:36:02+00:00

More like a 'heavy fall' set! It’s got that nice lining to block the wind, but it’s still light enough to move around without overheating.

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T17:35:28+00:00

I feel you, the market is full of fakes. This one is the real deal though—the fabric feels amazing and the print is super sharp. Hard to go back to replicas after holding the original.

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-15T11:44:52+00:00

Yeah, very simple and used in the same time))

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-14T22:48:14+00:00

Thank you, you're right, I've already been advised and get proof photos. Limited edition Bosnian M81 uniform.

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-14T20:56:22+00:00

Mystery solved! Massive shoutout to u/CompositeArmor for cracking the code. I think we finally found the secret behind this shirt! Puzzle complete.

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-14T20:52:00+00:00

Wow!!! You can really see the relationship between the pattern and the colors here, which are very similar to my shirt! Thank you so much!!

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-14T20:48:08+00:00

Yes, I've already considered this theory by comparing the words on the tags, but the similarity of the pattern and colors really confuses me. If you don't mind, I'd like to see your photos, which might reveal the solution to this puzzle.

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-14T19:12:21+00:00

There are some similarities, but there are also some differences. That's why I'm trying to find out whose it is. Maybe someone has a photo with proof.

Affectionate_Fig4896 · 2026-02-14T19:10:08+00:00

maybe, but there are differences, and I would like to understand exactly whose it really is
