i'm assuming they're personally modified because i've looked every where for these. (can you imagine how many sets i've looked thru when you keyword "DCU" on ebay?). i've seen PJ's and SF with them. those extra upper arm pockets matter. if anyone can give me a number or direct link it would be much appreciated.

Just buy regular DCU then take off lower pockets and put them on upper arm. It's going to be very quick mod.

Hit the 'Sale' link on the left hand margin.
Merc: i can't seem to find the time.
Pivot: thanks! thats exactly what i needed! :hyper
I know around Ft. Bragg the guys have them modified by local dry cleaners who also do alterations. A seamstress can mod them for you if she is competent.

Bravo, It looks like DCU has ACU's cut.
nah they are BDU cut. The lower pockets are on the chest and are velcro opening. Above the chest pocket it dose have ACU style velcro name tags. The pockets on the arms are what should be on the chest.The pockets to have the ACU black IR squares on them.

The elbows have MARPAT style internal inserts for foam or hard padding. The opening is on the inside and not the outside like ACU.

These BDU jackets are a direct replica of a PJ jacket. I have an Original PJ woodland modded jacket that was tailored by a PJ and it's the same style but dosn't have the pockets for elbow pads.

this is mine, it's an old photo with the rubbish camera that had bad focus quality.

very nice. i tried that ebay link but they're alll too big. good prices though. i'm afraid i'll have to go with Pivot's advice.
Glad to help.

What size are you looking for? I have tons of DCU's in my storage right now. I have a couple sets of my own modified that I wore and at least 5 sets that are stock, but you could use them to mod your own. They are all Med's.
BR: med short- i like 'em baggy. i'd be interested in picking up the modded one's if you see no further use of them.
