Early DPCU Shirt
DPCU Shirt: Genuine Australian Army issue and built tough. These are the early version of DPCU shirt issued from the 1980s to 2005 and are pre Land 125. There is two main types of these early shirts, straight pocket and pixie (angled). Given the date range there is some variation between colours. If you are chasing a specific date or pocket style let me know and I will do my best to help out, otherwise they are all a very similar pattern.
Australian sizes are in centimeters. for example size 95 fits a 95cm waist or chest. The sizes can be converted from cm to inches.
These shirts aren’t just for show – they’re practical and rugged. You’ll get two chest pockets plus a pen pocket, perfect for carrying gear whether you’re out bush, working, or just after that authentic military look.
We’ve got them available in different condition grades, so you can choose the one that suits you best:
-
New/Unworn: Never issued and brand new – the best you’ll find.
-
Grade A: Excellent used condition with only light wear. Still sharp and ready to go.
-
Grade B: Solid used condition. May show a bit of wear or the odd blemish, but nothing that affects use.
-
Grade C: Could be faded or need a simple fix (like a button or minor repair), but with a little TLC these still have plenty of life.
Whether you’re a collector, outdoor enthusiast, or just after a durable work shirt with a bit of history, the land 125 DPCU shirt is a great pick. They’re tough, practical, and authentic – you won’t find better value if you want real issued gear.
These shirts are starting to get a bit harder to find now in big sizes.
