Does anyone know of a specific place where I can purchase a set of Air Force BDUs in the BLUE tiger stripe?
Wear-tested in 2003, this particular pattern of camo was rejected as unusable (and it's no wonder) and the ABU was developed instead. This lovely blue uniform wouldn't even blend in with WWII era file cabinets, but it is... well, interesting. I've browsed online stores and checked eBay, but can't seem to find this pattern of BDU anywhere. Does anyone have a surplus store in their area that has a set? Does anyone who wear-tested these still have theirs which I could purchase from them?
This pattern is NOT the Midnite Tiger camo, however similar they may seem.
I wear med. short shirt and trousers.
No, you can NOT get it from any main-stream retailers (I work for U.S. Cavalry, believe me on this one) or just "any" surplus store. It is a pattern that was wear-tested for a VERY select number of airmen before being rejected and a new pattern conceived. It is no longer in production by any manufacturer.
Geez, what the heck would you want those awful things for? Are you some sort of masochist? You want to wear them so you can feel bad about yourself? 
Thank god that idea died! Of course, the new ones aren't that much better.
Honestly, I'm not sure what to tell you. I run a mobility/combat readiness school and I wanted to get them for some of our role players. We could never get our hands on any, and I actually saw people at my base wear-testing them.
Why can't the various branches just work together and adopt one or two working uniforms instead of wasting all our money to come up with their own? It's like we've time-warped 40 years into the past! The Marines had it nailed early--the MARPAT greens and tans are perfect. No further development needed! I must say though, the Army ACU is pretty comfortable. I hear bad things about durability, but it was more comfortable than BDUs the instant I put it on. Not sure if I like having to spend another $20 for a set though. Grrr!
