back in canada, we're hoping to see these mods become standard on the TW uniform, because they do make a lot of sense and they reflect the changing nature of war. However, some recent reports i've read have put a damper on that.. our uniforms are the same cut as the 1984 pattern OD. only the material and the print has changed.

It isn't identical to the old ODs actually, IIRC the breat pockets are slightly larger, along with other slight differences...
