TacHacker – DIY Combat Shirts

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Unfortunately, the Naval Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) doesn’t have an official combat uniform. Rather, units and oftentimes individuals have to provide their own combat fashions. The custom is to take a DCU blouse and have it modified by a tailor (if you’re lucky) by cutting out the torso and inserting a t-shirt or other material. Believe it or not, the first examples that showed up at Natick in the Objective Force Warrior office, years ago were just that. BDU-style sleeves sewn to Under Armour shirts so that the torso, which remains covered by body armor, will remain relatively cooler and dryer thanks to the wicking fabric.

Recently, we were on a CONUS range and observed several Navy personnel. As you can see, three men are visible and the are three different examples of combat-style shirts. There was another guy in the prone, shooting. While you can’t see him, indeed, he is wearing yet a fourth variant. However, out of all of the DIY combat shirts we have ever seen, the example with the hunting camo is by FAR the best.

I Spy Something That Begins With the Letter “V”

If you guessed Tactical Night Vision Company’s Victor DiCosola, then you are right. Now notice, Vic is wearing an FR racing suit. When we asked him about his attire all he would say was, “As for the racing pics, what we can say at this time is TNVC will be seen in some large scale events in the major motorsports arena very soon. More details are forthcomingâ€¦.”

Sounds intriguing. Can’t wait to find out more.
