Chocolate Chip Camo US Army Gulf War Era 1990s Shirt/Jacket
The Chocolate Chip camouflage, officially known as the "Six-Color Desert Pattern," was developed by the U.S. military in the early 1980s for arid environments. Its design featured a tan background with brown and beige patches, along with small black and white speckles resembling rock formations, earning it the nickname "Chocolate Chip" camo. It was first issued to U.S. troops in the 1980s and saw widespread use during the Gulf War (1990–1991). However, due to its ineffectiveness against the more uniform desert landscapes of the Middle East, it was later replaced by the Three-Color Desert pattern in the mid-1990s. Despite its short service life, Chocolate Chip camo remains iconic, often seen in surplus gear, streetwear, and military-inspired fashion.
