Ok, I'm a little biased, but the Canadian Forces combat shirt of that era was really good. One of the best features was those spacious cargo pockets at hip/waistline.
Years ago, there was a surplus store in the Walden Galleria mall (Buffalo), and they had racks of those Canadian jackets. Wish I would have picked one up then.
There's a secret pen pocket in the chest pockets that sits them pens real nice by your notepads. That and the personal effects pocket on the interior of the left chest panel are the best features. Notes and smokes keep an NCO runnin.
that whole era of 80s-90s Canadian gear fascinates me, I've collected almost the whole suite of cold weather gear, and a got a few of those field shirts as well and I honestly really like the feel of them, they wear really well and are a pretty practical garment.
Have you considered doing a video on Scandinavian camouflage? It’s really quite an unexplored area, and their contributions to military camouflage quite impressive.
I would be VERY happy if guys could make episode about history of Finnish M62 uniform. Pattern is still in military use in some aplications in Finnish military.

When it comes to PLA stuff it can get tricky since the old style of interior red stamping is oft copied and on later legitimate pieces the factories rarely filled out all of the info i.e. dates of production left as 20__年 making them look a bit off. The white/grey lot numbers are a good way to be certain of a piece's authenticity but those too are faked and occasionally not where they should be on issued uniforms.
