The History of: Rhodesian Brushstroke and its other Camouflage Patterns | Uniform History
Edit: At 3:00 the picture is actually of SADF soldiers rather than Rhodesian.
In this episode of The History of we, for the first time, dive into a nation's entire camouflage history. That nation? Rhodesia. In this video we cover all the patterns from the World War II Denison smocks up through the various Rhodesian Brushstroke patterns.
A very special thanks to Rhodesian Brushstroke for helping out with this video using information gained doing research for KommandoStore's reproduction project (kommandostore.com/). You can check out his collection on his website at: kommandopost.com/.

When I was a kid, some of my relatives emigrated to South Africa (late 70's), and one Christmas I was given a full Rhodesian camouflage suit (trousers, shorts, tunic, cap) and I distinctly remember hiding in the bushes at the bottom of my grandma and grandads garden one Christmas day night, with my two uncles looking from the bedroom window with a powerful torch/spotlight, trying to spot me in between the shrubs and bushes.. Even though Northern England on Christmas Day night, close to the North Sea coast, the temperatures and the foliage is 'slightly' different to Central/Southern Africa in the bush, my uncles couldn't find me and I wasn't found until I voluntarily surrendered around midnight when it was time for us all to leave my grandparents and for us to go home.. (or maybe it was a cunning plan to occupy the noisy and boisterous kids while the adults got down to drinking and eating..😂😂) Either way, it was a pretty good camouflage pattern, and it is so effective that I didn't even realise that there was a matching cap in the top pocket until 6 months later. 😂

It was probably a couple of years before Rhodesia was renamed Zimbabwe so it was probably based on the genuine Rhodesian Army combat uniform.

After about eighty metres distant I could no longer see their upper bodies covered in camouflage but could clearly see their white legs, as they wore shorts. It looked like legs walking without torsos it was really weird. Also, during a refresher training exercise I had a platoon of men looking for me in broad daylight from twenty metres away but they could not spot me. It was superb camo.

Very interesting. Thank you for a really informative video. I see your footnote, regarding SADF troops around #300 on the counter. Certainly circa early nineteen eighties. National Servicemen and their PT instructor. (Crossed swords = Physical Training) Definitely old style SADF Nutria-Browns, 'Bos hoed' (Bush Hat) and canvas web belts. Difficult to place where these recruits are being put through their paces? One man's dry Savanna is another man's Ovamboland. They're certainly being given some tips on military etiquette. Those were the 'daze'
It's interesting that old camouflage are still very useful today even if they are not used by the military or by sometimes by its S.O.F and PMC's are used. And I gotta say....Tigerstripes, Brushstrokes, and U.S Woodland are just awesome camouflages. Sure today's camo have some uses. But used in jungles, temperate forests and swamps can literally be useful. But hot damn nothing beats old camo.

I was a kid in South Africa in the 70s. I had a childs overall in Rhodesian camo that I wore as often as possible. My parents destroyed it when they found out camo was illegal in civilian hands... was I upset! I had many ex-Rhodesian friends in the 80s and 90s. Most of them burned their camo before fleeing over the border to South Africa because they were told the new Zimbabwe border guards acted harshly with known white Rhodesian ex soldiers. Many of the troops experimented with their camo by dying it themselves. An ex-C Squadron SAS mate had the 1970 standard pattern dyed black for night operations. As the black washed out over time and the underlying pattern re-emerged, the more effective it became for night ops. He had different patterns for different times of the year from heavily faded to new to dyed camo.
Thank you for this video. This is a wonderfull patern and very effective.
Nice. I didn't even know that the dry version of this pattern existed.
Great video!
Keep up the good work!
09:12 I see you never served in a conscript army. As our Chief Sergeant Major put it after handing out various patterns in all kinda states of fading: "Camo is camo, if you want everything to be the same colour, go roll in the mud."

I inherited of an old vintage camo jacket. For years I was persuaded it was a rhodesian pattern but a few months ago, someone corrected me and I found out it was Belgian Brushstroke... kind of logical since I'm belgian myself. But the two really look alike.
My favorite by far!
There were all in one jumpsuits too. Got issued various versions at different times. But I preferred the long sleeved shirt, combat jacket and trousers. I wore plain shorts and ex Nam (USA) plain T-shirts. My objective was to have a change of clothes, plus warmer options for night time and avoiding getting eaten by bugs. They liked me rather too much.
Loving the camo history vids very entertaining. What military job do you need to be in to study camouflage for the military? Lol.
I had a cap with the rear flap that was of the 1st pattern.My father got it from a guy that served in the war and came to the US from Rhodesia in the mid/late 70's to live.It had all buttons,not snaps.Yeah it was pretty faded. Might still have it somewhere.
I am wondering why it took so long for the USA to to issue camo pattern utility uniforms to all troops. When I first arrived in Vietnam (1966) we were wearing the standard olive green jungle utilities. Camo patterns were worn only by special units. And other than in Vietnam, the army and the Marines wore he cotton O.D. uniform. However, by the time I left Vietnam for the last time (early 1972), camo utilities were pretty well issued to all the troops... Was price the issue or was it that the armchair leaders didn't like the look of camo pattern uniforms. Or was it a ploy to keep "special" units "special" by having them wear "special" uniforms... The pattern that I liked the most was the green "Tiger Stripe" variety... I was a combat cameraman with the Pacific Fleet Combat Camera Group and spent an aggregate of 26-months in-country filming the Brown Water Navy, the Seabees, the Vietnamese Navy River Assault Groups and various other activities. My unit went the "el cheapo" way in providing us uniforms. They issued us olive drab shirts that had been refused by the SeaBees because they were woven so tightly that they couldn't breath. My unit got these shirts free from salvage. I did my first amphibious landing (Deckhouse Three Phase Two) wearing one of these shirts. That ws in IV Corps area, just north of Vung Tau in heavy jungle. I almost died from the heat and the shirts were terrible.
Hope to find or get a repro for my collection, used to have a SADF reversible camo T- shirt, unique pattern.
One of the best developed camos of them all and it signal freedom,stubborness ,resourcefullness and ingenuity .
In the mid 80s I stumbled upon a Rhodesian jacket. It was either the second or fourth version. It was in a surplus store in Canada and I don't remember which city that it was in. Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa or maybe Winnipeg. Anyway, I was shocked to see it and if I remember correctly, it had a hefty price tag. I don't remember the exact amount but I think it was $400 or more. Far beyond what I could spend at the time. That's probably about $1200 in today's dollars. That was back when the Swiss pattern was about $1500 for a complete set. Now you can get it for $10.

Malayan Emergency or Darurat was also caused by Chinese Civil War, it all started by the Chinese Nationalist and Chinese Communist rivalry in China 1927, later the KMT-CPC rivalry spread to the overseas Chinese communities including the ones in Malaya and Borneo. On the other hand, racial tension between Malay and Chinese caused by economic upheaval also a key catalyst to this conflict.
