DPM (I think) and ........?

[sonofsammo]

I got some nice ex army kit from @Lozart which is DPM (nor sure which, 95, possibly?).
And it works really well. However, all my other kit is tan coyote. Which undoes any benefit of the DPM.
For belts, pouches etc, what goes best with DPM, if DPM is not an option for them?
TIA.
?

What 'goes best' is whatever the hell you fancy the look of.

Actual coyote brown is great in most woodland sites, especially for most of the year from the heat of summer when everything dies through to early spring before it all starts growing again, because through that period most woodland is brown - mud, plants with no leaves, dead leaves on the ground, tree trunks etc.  Obviously some places are just covered grass or plants that don't drop leaves and stay green but if your site isn't one of those then stick to brown/tan kit; if it is one of those get some Ranger Green or Multicam (can be very good in lightly coloured grassed areas), or some other green/woodland camo you fancy, simple.  Don't overthink being matching because 100% matching loadouts where every single thing is the same pattern tend to look kinda cheesy a lot of the time, each to their own though.

There's 3 options here, temperate DPM, MTP and desert DPM - MTP blends best because it's all grass and light green:

This guy would do better in coyote brown gear/clothing than the woodland camo he's wearing:

None of this is to say woodland patterns don't ever work in woods because obviously they do, but as I've said here many times before, look through pics of your local sites throughout the year and analyse accordingly.  Or just remember it's airsoft and wear bright pink if you fancy it, none of it matters.

From a purely cosmetic stance, I like either OD or black with DPM.

Green.

 

[Ongemakje]

my kit is DPM + Olive drab, i feel it works best for me

As you say it's ex army dpm, then in army it would be od belts and black boots/gloves everything else is dpm

I wear a DPM PLCE when I wear DPM, so it matches.  I'd say next best would be OD.

Green or Black, it's the only way. Multicam reminds me of this fancy praline ice-cream you could get in Dubai.

Pretty sure we had this convo before but here's a picture of some MARSOC Raiders in US WOodland (which is pretty close to DPM) running CT gear 

If you don't like it that's absolutely fine, you do you but as @CKinnerley said above don't get too hung up on having everything matching. Unless you're trying to build an actual impression kit it really doesn't matter.

Smoke green - as made by Paraclete - could look good with it. 

 

[Tackle]

OD, works with almost everything ?

Quite a few turned up at Gunman today wearing US Wooodland, with different colour vests, black, tan ect.  All looked fine tbh,

I have DPM pants with a black long sleeve tee and coyote tan plate carrier. Its what I have at the moment but i am wanting OD green or multi cam sooner or later. Will be using my current PC with it too. 

But it is all about what you think looks good. I am happy with this at the moment but im sure people think i look awful.

Glad that picture shows you in DPM trousers over your DPM pants
