Kiddie camouflage -- not just for war anymore....
:eyes:

TRENDSPOTTING

Camouflage: It's not just about war anymore

Nara Schoenberg, Tribune staff reporter
Published April 26, 2005

When is camouflage -- the fabric of duck hunting and military combat -- cute and cuddly?

This spring, apparently.

Target is selling glow-in-the-dark camouflage curtains to "make dark rooms less scary for young ones." Sears has a pink camouflage rocker for girls that's "cozier than any foxhole" and a pastel comforter for "your powder puff private."

Toddlers can wear the Gap's authentic-looking surplus hat and newborns have Babystyle camo in blue and pink.

2. it's all cyclical
camo was in for a couple of years when I was in high school (1983-1987).

3. why buy cheap surplus gear at the Gap?
you can buy perfectly good fatigues for all your paramilitary needs at a local surplus store! :P
