Same here old Army surplus gear plus I have a son in the Army, I recognise that regiment, if I member correct they served in NI and the Falklands ,I was stationed with the Kings own and the kings borders ,I had a great crack with the lads from Liverpool, just remembered one of the guys names ,Garry seddon it would be around 52 now as I joined in 1978or car boot I sold a few of my old army surplus on car boots
And for other countries if you turn up without combat fatigues you get issued them on arrival+1 for drab clothing...
if you take camo clothing with you on holiday there are certain countries that really don't like it whereas drab no-one takes offence..
I'm not really one for camo, so decided to try the Stealth Gear Extreme 2n trousers, drab colours, waterproof, silent removable knee pads, and pockets for lenses and things. According to the tracking info they will delivered Thursday, so I'll let you know

What are your thoughts?
Looking to buy a new coat and have wondered about the value of camouflage,i only do stalking for my bird photography so any further opinions would be appreciated.
I just use a Jack Pyke weatherproof fleece, fairly warm and convenient and pretty cheap from eBay.
Are you talking about something along these lines

Yes, full camo gear is ok in certain places but single colour drab is fine. Ive seen people wearing full camouflage gear on the Farne Islands where there are 200 people wandering about and the birds don't care a jot.
