If you could only choose surplus clothing and gear, what would you pick and why? Would you go with something like M81 Woodland, British DPM, Flecktarn, Alpenflage, or another pattern? And which piece of surplus gear would you consider essential?

Dutch DPM field jacket 🇳🇱 Recently added this Dutch DPM field jacket to my surplus collection. I’ve always liked the Dutch version of DPM because of its distinctive pattern and colors. What do you guys think of Dutch DPM compared with British DPM?
