The tiger stripe pattern evolved from the French lizard pattern, worn during the First Indochina War and in Algeria. Interestingly, the French lizard pattern was popular with the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.

The Rhodesian Brushstroke pattern is legendary, from its inception during the Rhodesian Bush War, to later service throughout Africa, a variant to this day remains the standard camouflage pattern of the Zimbabwe National Army. The pattern itself originates from the need of the Southern Rhodesian military to replace it’s aging supply of olive and khaki drill uniforms in the early 1960s. Development began with the David Whitehead Textiles production facility in Salisbury, with designer Diana Cameron creating what would become the 1st and 2nd patterns of what would become known as “Rhodesian Brushstroke”. Taking huge inspiration from earlier British Denison colors and styles, the 1st pattern was somewhat muted with an overall tan hue and relatively little contrast. Further utilizing the greens of the contemporary Portuguese and French Lizard patterns, a finalized 2nd pattern was developed.
