I took an old set of "Cook's Whites" (old faded woodland BDU's) and a seam ripper and made my own pattern. Took some time, but it worked when we needed some OPFOR uniform and grew tired of the old "chocolate chip" desert BDU's.

I don't know what the new Army ACU is like, but it looks darn functional.

If using the old BDU pattern, sew the velcro to the "Button Flap" under the pocket flap so the stitching doesn't show.

But then on my inspection uniforms, I also had the pockets cut and the bellows reversed into the uniform instead of bellowing out.

I should say that these uniforms were only for guard mount inspections and street MP duty. In the field, I had regular issue BDU's.
