Pattern 83 Battle Jacket Reproduction. A remnant of a South African newspaper ad was found in a plast

A remnant of a South African newspaper ad was found in a plastic bag located inside The Pattern 83 Battle Jacket. Manufactured by National Tents & Sails in South Africa (see label). One buckle + strap is worn down Apr 13, 2025 ยท Used SADF P83 battle Jacket. What makes this reproduction so interesting is the pattern. Outsourced to the private camping and outdoor industry for design, as a result the M83 webbing was immensely popular due to its advanced design. Since then, supplies of PAT 83 equipment have decreased exponentially due to heavy domestic and foreign demand (and a couple Mad Max movies). Has one small tear on one of the rear pouches, various light/moderate wear throughout the rest of the vest, one half broken strap adjuster on the shoulder straps (doesn’t affect function). High-quality reproductions. Used but has very small signs of genuine wear. The Pattern 83 was designed for mobility and efficiency in the bush environment Not looking to LARP (okay, looking to LARP a little otherwise I wouldn’t be on this sub) and I’m a big chest rig & vest/battle jacket fan and after factoring in the price of quality pouches for my carrier I’m thinking of running a slick vest with a Pattern 83 Battle Jacket.
