Afghan National Army Digital Camouflage Shirt: size medium – Dated 2009

Original Afghan National Army field shirt in the ANA’s distinctive pixelated camouflage pattern, dated 2009. Often referred to as Spec4ce Afghan Forest, this pattern began appearing around 2008–2009 and stands out for its mix of black, brown, and grass green over a light olive base.

The interior label details include:

• Size: Medium-Regular
• Type: ANA-Shirt
• Referenced specification: ANA-0001-25NOV2007
• Fabric content: 50% nylon / 50% cotton
• Textiles sourced from: Finishing Plant, South Carolina, USA
• Garment manufactured in: Kabul, Afghanistan
• Contract number: W91B4M-09-D-0045
• Date of manufacture: 2009

A very solid piece of Afghanistan-era military history, representing the period when the ANA began issuing its own distinctive digital camouflage uniforms. It also has that interesting mix of U.S.-sourced textiles and Afghan manufacture, which gives it a bit more story than the average surplus shirt.

Condition is reflected in the photos, including the fabric, hook-and-loop panels, labels, and overall presentation.

A good collectible piece for anyone interested in modern camouflage, Afghanistan-era uniforms, or less common post-2001 military surplus.
