Egyptian "Scrambled Eggs" Camouflage Uniforms

The Egyptian military introduced a unique camouflage pattern first in the mid 1980's, dubbed "scrambled eggs" due to its appearance. The first run sported very dense and larger shapes, but by 1990 they switched to a more spread out, smaller, and overlapping style shown below. This camo pattern is surprisingly still in use today and since they wear nearly the exact uniform style as from the 1990's, it is hard to determine when a specific example was made or used. 

Due to a variety of manufacturers, the background color can vary from a white, grey, and light tan color.

Standard Uniform

This style of uniform is the most commonly seen example worn by the Egyptian military, and the main one worn during Desert Storm by their forces. It is an extremely simple design with two small chest pockets, exposed buttons, and epaulets. 

The uniform above has a grey colored background instead of the more common white. 

Field Jacket

The Egyptian Army also issued a field jacket in the "scrambled eggs" pattern that is based off the US M65 jacket style from the Vietnam War. These jackets are made of the same material as the regular uniform, and as a result, feel very soft and cheap. Interestingly, the pocket flaps are not secured by a button, but instead hang loose over the pockets that are separately secured by a button. Additionally, a hood is zipped up into the collar, but not all of these jackets have this feature. Examples have been brought back from Desert Storm and seen in period photographs from the period, along with still being issued to the Egyptian military very recently.
