  • Process for designing camouflage clothing
    Patent number: 5924131
    Abstract: A realistic appearing camouflage system for personal wearing attire in which both the appearance and scale of a natural scene from an environment where the camouflage system is intended to be used is mimicked or enhanced. The camouflage system includes a first article of clothing imprinted with a portion of a photographic image of the natural scene in substantially the same scale as the natural scene. The camouflage system also includes a second article of clothing designed to be worn with the first article of clothing. The second article of clothing is imprinted with a second portion of the photographic image in substantially the same scale as the natural scene. The imprints of the first and second articles are located so that when the first and second articles are worn, the respective imprinted portions of the scene appear substantially continuous and the scene is reproduced both vertically and horizontally.
