French Lizard F1 Camouflage Lightweight Hooded T-Shirt

Pattern: French Lizard F1 — a balanced olive, maroon and tan brushstroke

This is the balanced heart of the French lizard family. The base is a pale olive-sage, and over it flow brushstrokes in a muted maroon, a deeper olive and a soft tan. Every colour is present in proportion, so the pattern reads evenly — not too red, not too green, not too pale — and it has a calm, settled character that is very recognisable as lizard.

MegaCamo labels this the French Lizard F1. The family is the léopard, the Denison-derived brushstroke camouflage the French Army wore from 1947 into the late 1980s and known to collectors as TAP 47. The design was never a single fixed print: it was produced in numerous dye lots and cloths over roughly a decade, all issued side by side. The F1, with its even mix of olive, maroon and tan, captures the archetypal look of that heritage — the version most people picture when they think of French lizard camouflage.

On the garment the F1 reads as a comfortable, well-balanced camo. The brushstrokes wrap and flow across the whole surface without becoming busy, and the three-tone mix keeps it warm and classically military without feeling dated. It is the sort of pattern that works as both a collector’s piece and an everyday shirt, and it pairs easily with olive, khaki, denim, brown and most neutral layers.

Why own it

If you want one sheet that represents the French lizard pattern at its most characteristic, the F1 is it — an even, balanced brushstroke in the classic olive, maroon and tan. It is easy to wear because nothing is overpowering, and it is easy to collect because it sits right at the centre of the family. For anyone building a lizard set, this is a natural anchor piece alongside the warmer, paler and greener variants.

Fit, fabric and care

This is a long-sleeve lightweight hooded tee in a 94% polyester / 6% spandex blend — stretchy, smooth and light. It is available in S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL and weighs 0.374 kg. Because it is made to order, allow a small production tolerance of about ±5% and consult the size chart before choosing your option. Wash at or below 45 °C, do not bleach, and do not leave it soaking for long.

Made to order

This shirt is printed all-over and sewn only after you order it, so there is a production and fulfilment lead time of roughly 4–7 days before it ships, with final delivery depending on your location. The F1 pattern covers the entire garment in a continuous all-over print.

Part of the collection

This F1 is one of several French Lizard sheets in the catalogue, joining the A2, B1, C1, D, tropical and E1 variants. If this balanced, classic look suits you, keep exploring the wider French camouflage collection — the CCE woodland and Daguet desert sheets add more of the same national character.
