Why won’t camouflage die? Three reasons: 1. Camouflage has a sponsor with very deep pockets who pays millions of soldiers to wear nothing but it during every hour of every day. 2. Fashion will always follow bloodthirsty gangs of working-class hooligans to the ends of the earth–just look at the Burberry plaid! 3. A certain number of the decadent and the unclothed will always manage to stumble, shivering, into the Army/Navy store, and often turn a few heads on their way back to the clinic. This is why the annual urban camouflage cycle tends to start in the dead of winter and peak by the end of spring. We’re in the middle of it right now.
