Rubicon,
The shirt that Sergeant Colon is pictured wearing is called an Army Combat Shirt (ACS). I do not know if they are available for sale. These are a new clothing item that the Army issued us here in Iraq. Actually, the ones that we have were the first attempt. The stage two shirts should be coming out soon. The stage one shirts rip easily, but as long as you are careful, they are quality shirts and much cooler to wear under body armor.
