Rhodesian Brushstroke v2 Camouflage Fleece Hoodie

Pattern: Rhodesian Brushstroke v2

This is the Rhodesian Brushstroke in its classic green-over-brown palette – warm olive and tan, overlaid with the fine, grass-like strokes that give the pattern its paint-splashed edge. On a fleece-lined hoodie it reads as camouflage history you can actually wear: warm enough for a cold day, and distinctive enough to feel a long way from the digital pixel and woodland camo that fills most of streetwear.

About the Rhodesian Brushstroke

The Rhodesian Brushstroke is the pattern worn by Rhodesian (today Zimbabwean) security forces from the mid-1960s to 1980. Rather than soft shapes or pixels, it is built from short, brush-drawn horizontal strokes over a solid base, which gives it a rough, painterly look that is instantly recognisable to camouflage collectors. The 2nd Pattern of the 1970-80 period is described as green over brown: the green lamellae sit on top of the brown, on a khaki base. When the pattern was revived in Zimbabwe in the 1990s it was often printed brown over green instead, so the build order is not a rigid identifier across every single garment – but the dense, drawn-on strokes always are.

The v2 colorway: classic green over brown

v2 is the label MegaCamo uses for this rendition, and by eye it is the classic green-on-brown. A khaki-tan base is broken up by broad olive-green shapes and warm mid-brown blocks, then finished with fine olive and brown strokes that scatter across the surface like dried grass. Green is the top layer, brown beneath, on a light tan field – the reading most people picture when they hear the word brushstroke.

How the pattern reads on your hoodie

Because the brushstroke is made of large blobs plus fine lines rather than dense dots, it spreads cleanly across the chest, down the sleeves and over the kangaroo pocket without turning to noise. The fine strokes hold their detail even at a distance, and the soft printed face of this fleece-lined hoodie keeps the edges crisp instead of smudging. It is a pattern that looks at its best on a smooth garment like this, where the painterly texture can breathe.

Why own this fleece-lined hoodie?

The honest reason is that this is a real, traceable pattern with a specific history, and it is printed here on a surface that shows it off. A warm, comfortable hoodie whose exterior is genuinely interesting to look at is a different thing from a plain one, and a green-on-brown brushstroke is about as far from the generic army surplus look as you can get while still being authentic. If you collect camouflage or simply want something no one else is wearing, this is it.

Comfort, fit and build

This fleece-lined hoodie is made for everyday wear. It is 100% polyester with a soft brushed fleece interior, an adjustable drawstring hood, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs and a roomy front kangaroo pocket that holds a phone and keys. The fit is relaxed, so it layers easily over a T-shirt and still looks tidy under a heavier jacket.

Made to order, sizing and care

Like every MegaCamo piece, this hoodie is made to order. It is printed and sewn only after you place your order, then shipped once fulfilment from our supplier is complete – expect 4 to 7 days of production before it ships, on top of transport. Sizes run S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL, with a +/-5% tolerance in length from manual measurement and the print process. To keep it at its best, machine wash cold, do not bleach and do not tumble dry.
