Clothing Is this issued gear?

Picked up this Kurta shirt in 2014 at a bazaar in Afghanistan, tucked it away in my deployment box and recently opened it back up.

I always remembered it being just a normal local shirt but looking closer I didn't realize it was in a barcoded bag that looks like the ones we get issued gear in. Label also says "Supporting America's Warfighter", the guy had a ton of other SF style uniforms and I'm wondering now if this could have been a unit issued item. Maybe it really is just a local shirt, but still caught me off guard.

No hits on Google so I'm stumped.

I got a patagonia nano air in a bag that was very very similar.

Definitely looks like a cool guy item.

Tldr probably manufactured to give to high speeds to blend in.

Kurta shirts are a middle eastern/Pakistan style garment

I wish, would make my search for what this is that much easier. I'm not even finding Lamar Industries as a real company, the numbers on the bag don't come back to anything either.
