You are bidding on a second model M86 "boscoso" or woodland camouflage used exclusively by the elite units of the La Legión or Tercio de Extranjeros. This camouflage was inspired by the leibermuster used by the Germans during the end of World War II, that an approach was also adopted by other nations after the war (such as Switzerland) and is characterized by amoeba-like brown and green shapes mixed on a tan background and disrupted with horizontal black "flecks". There is a other early variant of this camo and this one appears to be the second iteration, with some minor changes.

The camo suit consists of a cotton style fabric and is very well made. These are uniforms from a bygone era, with so many features and a high complexity, something that was surely time-consuming to manufacture and won't likely find today in the era of disposable synthetic uniforms and automated manufacturing.

The shirt is packed with pockets and features: on the front are the two horizontally chest pouches with flap closed by velcro. The epaulets have the full color embroidered emblem of the Foreign Legion logo (halberd, arquebus and crossbow crossed and on these weapons a royal crown). Its time frame is between the mid 80's to the early 90's. But very short usage.

The uniform is in excellent used condition with only signs of field use in trousers. There are no stains, all buttons are original. The colours are still strong. Shirt and trouser size is medium for both. Sterile, no manufacturer label or stamp mark. The dimensions are as follows:

Shirt

Armpit to armpit - 54 cm (21.2" inch.)

Shoulders (shoulder to shoulder) - 46 cm (18.1" inch.)

Arm sleeve - 62 cm (24.4" inch.)

Trousers
