A printed textile pattern consisting of disruptive, irregular shapes in earth tones, greens, or greys. Originally engineered for military uniforms to provide visual concealment against natural backgrounds, it has been widely adopted into civilian streetwear and outdoor gear. The fabric itself is typically a durable cotton or synthetic twill, printed using rotary screens to achieve the multi-colored, overlapping blotches.
