Camo coats

I noticed something recently during some of our school runs: a lot of the mothers wear camouflage coats. Not stuff taken from army surplus shop, at least I don't think so. The fabric looks a bit too... smooth or delicate to be proper army stuff. But I wonder why. When I was a kid, some children had camouflage coats and jackets, or pseudo army vests of some kind. While I always loved green coloured, I never liked the camo look all that much. Now women wear them, and mothers more specifically. I wonder why or how it became fashionable all of a sudden.And I also wonder if it will last or if it will just be a fad.
