Propper ACU Jackets, Pants, and Shirts

Our ACU fatigues are specially designed for active duty in arid climates. Propper ACU jackets are sewn to FQ/PD 14-04A specifications for dependable durability and offer multiple fabric options, such as 50/50 NYCO ripstop, Battle Rip® 65/35 poly/cotton ripstop, or Milliken ResQ™

FR Ripstop. Approved by the military for those on active duty, the ACU coat offers either the OCP or Multicam® pattern.

ACU pants are also approved for use in the U.S. military and are crafted to mil-spec PD 14-05A. With 8-pocket designs, high capacity ACU pants retain their streamlined look through felled inseams, outseams, and seat seams.

A variety of fabrics allows us to create ACU shirt and pants designs that are well-suited for sweltering weather. You’ll find our IHWCU (Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform) made with more breathable and quick-drying fabric than the standard ACU, while extra reinforcement around high-stress areas retains durability.

ACU Is the U.S. Military Standard

The ACU was released in 2004 as a successor to the BDU (Battle Dress Uniform). Ground crews in Iraq were issued a CCU or Close Combat Uniform, which improved upon the then-standard DCU (Desert Camouflage Uniform) and had new features like chest-worn rank insignia, velcro fasteners on the shoulder pockets, and an updated collar.

All of these changes were made permanent with the release of the ACU (Army Combat Uniform). First bearing the Universal Camouflage Pattern, this military uniform was eventually updated in 2015 to include the Operational Camouflage Pattern, which is the standard of the U.S. military today.
