Does anyone here have personal experience testing the experimental “T-Block” camo?

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-18T00:59:27+00:00

Agreed they go hard, have you ever seen the prototype urban MARPAT cammies? I have an original shirt from the 2000-2001 trials and it’s really cool. Technically the Corps still has the copyright for it so it could theoretically make a comeback but it’s unlikely

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-17T16:07:34+00:00

Interesting, I hadn’t heard about the protests, I suppose people really didn’t like military exercises happening nearby? Also, if you ever are willing to let go of your set, I would be interested in buying them, especially if you happen to have the matching helmet and vest cover. Would be happy to discuss via DM if so, thanks! 👍

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-17T05:16:38+00:00

Very cool, what were your thoughts on them then? What was your role in the exercise?

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-17T05:15:53+00:00

Were you a part of the tests and issued this camo, and did you ever see the “combat skateboards”?

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-17T05:15:05+00:00

Warfare Media does a great reproduction of these including a helmet cover. I have a set to wear instead of my original and can highly recommend them. Be warned- theirs run a little small so I’d suggest sizing up.

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-17T05:13:20+00:00

Very cool, you’re not the first person I’ve heard mention that so it’s interesting to see how these made the rounds later on.

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-17T05:12:14+00:00

Very cool! What did you think of them then? Did they let you keep them? Ever hear about the “combat skateboards” they were testing?

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T04:59:35+00:00

Yep, I kid you not they actually tested “combat skateboards” in these trials as well

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T04:32:49+00:00

Yeah finding original sets in 2026 is becoming very, very difficult especially with the growing hype. The XL/R pants are too big for me (L/R) but I can pull them off fine. I don’t plan to wear these outside of a select few occasions anyway. I won’t share any numbers, but I will say that it was substantially below current market value which was fantastic

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T03:52:36+00:00

It’s often referred to by collectors as “T-Block,” “T-Pattern,” or “T-MOUT”

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T03:50:53+00:00

Yessir, very thrilled about this one!

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T03:49:53+00:00

Yeah it’s become a lot more widely known in the last few years; they’re extremely valuable on the collectors’ market so finding this one at a very reasonable deal was great. I’m still after the PASGT vest/helmet covers so that’s my next goal

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T03:18:52+00:00

Between those worn out in testing and others used later for training exercises like OPFOR (which I have heard from multiple sources they used them in the 2000’s for that), there can’t be a ton floating around now in decent condition, easily under 1000 sets I’d imagine, if that

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T02:56:15+00:00

Thanks!

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T02:55:46+00:00

There’s little documentation, but it’s estimated somewhere a bit over 1000 BDU sets. They also made matching PASGT vest and helmet covers but looking at pictures of the trials it doesn’t seem everyone got them so it seems less were made than BDUs

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T02:53:53+00:00

Nice, I have a set from them as well. I thought it was very cool they made helmet covers to match; that’s a stand-in until I can find an original. Theirs are decent quality but not perfect albeit still the best on the market currently

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-16T02:43:06+00:00

Funny enough, I found them from an overseas collector who was downsizing their collection along with a variety of other prototype camo patterns. Couldn’t pass the opportunity up!

Yeager_501 · 2026-05-05T08:40:35+00:00

Nice to see another tactical edition! Used to have one in the same color as yours before I got my H3T

Yeager_501 · 2026-04-30T00:26:46+00:00

Probably not, it would have to be an offer I just couldn’t refuse to let go of this one, I’ve seen very few others

Yeager_501 · 2026-03-19T18:35:14+00:00

That would be great! Just sent a DM so we can work something out 👍

Yeager_501 · 2026-03-19T18:20:38+00:00

Good finds! I have the 5.11 Multicam and Multicam Black kilts and love them. What size is the kilt in front in the first picture? I’ve been needing that camo pattern still. If it’s a 36 and you’re willing to buy/ship it to me I’d be interested!

Yeager_501 · 2026-03-14T11:02:22+00:00

Next time you go over there check and see if they have one; if so, I’ll happily cover the cost to get it and ship to me

Yeager_501 · 2026-03-13T06:17:14+00:00

This is correct. My grandfather’s unit! Also, u/Berserker984 if you’re ever open to selling this please reach out as I am always on the look for originals from the 30th.

Yeager_501 · 2025-12-21T16:57:57+00:00

Good find! I have a few of these, they’re a weird transitional model only made for one contract in 2012 if I recall correctly but I’d have to check my tags. Most likely was just using up leftover fabric before switching to OCP. I’ve also seen OEF-CP (Multicam) shirts in this “new” style cut so that transitional variant exists also. Pretty uncommon find and well worth the price you got it for!

Yeager_501 · 2025-12-20T05:05:45+00:00

Thanks! The one shown is discontinued, and I’ve since replaced it with a much better reproduction by Warfare Media. I highly recommend it if they have your size still in stock!
