Camouflage record

Mitchell

During WWII, the Marine Corps officially experimented with the M-42 Frog Skin battledress camouflage, while other U.S. troops, especially airborne pathfinders in Normandy, used hand-painted splotches, stripes, and foliage for camouflage. After the war, the US Military sought to develop a broader camouflage pattern. Between 1948 and 1953, field tests led to a trial in Panama of eight designs. Two complementary patterns emerged as effective: the green-hued Wine Leaf for spring and summer, and the brown Mitchell pattern for fall and winter, named after artist and former Marine Meldon Mitchell. This combination was implemented in the two-sided Pattern-53, with Mitchell becoming synonymous with both sides.

Mitchell Camo swim trunks in 91% recycled polyester and 9% spandex microfiber, cut with a drawcord waistband and oversized all-over leaf print. Associated with reversible U.S. shelter halves and helmet covers of the mid-20th century, Mitchell uses layered foliage silhouettes with vein-like marks and irregular open ground between forms.

The larger leaves extend across seam lines rather than resolving into a small repeat, keeping the archival scale visible on the trunk body. Four-way stretch provides mobility in and out of the water, and the water-repellent face dries quickly. A soft anti-chafe liner, draining side pockets, and a compact interior pocket complete the functional structure without interrupting the print.
