Frog, duck, and leopard – what do they have in common?
After WWII, these uniforms were sold to the civilian market. That's when the camouflage pattern caught the attention of hunters, and small companies began releasing their own variations of the Frog Skin pattern. Since the name was trademarked, a new one emerged – Duck Hunter. The pattern worked perfectly for duck hunting, which was very popular then.
During the Vietnam War, civilian uniforms featuring different versions of the Duck Hunter camouflage appeared. The Vietnamese named them Beo Gam, meaning leopard. The pattern was widely used until Tiger Stripe and ERDL camouflages were developed. It's worth noting that Duck Hunter uniforms were used by SOG, Navy SEALs, and Green Berets.
