Hey everyone, check out UFPRO. That have an excellent tutorial on the history of camo. They also have clothing that does not appear in box stores in the U.S. and on top of that they have a wide selection of camo styles. The ultimate guide to Camouflage Patterns | UF PRO

The original DEVO crew didn't use no stinking chinstraps...

East German rain pattern. Used by some other Warsaw Pact countries as well. Somewhere I have a Bulgarian boonie hat in rain pattern. These shirts have a hidden pistol pocket right over the heart. The DDR didn't have easy access to cotton for textiles, so these have some kind of synthetic content. They were short on oil, too, for making plastics. But they had a lot of coal and converted that to oil, then to plastics. These shirts wear like iron.

Add greenzone to the mix. I think it would do well around here.

Cool thread guys!

I know it's not on the list, but I love ASAT too. Sure looks like antlers though!



Also Realtree max-1 is known to conceal very well in most types of terrain.

Woodland gear fabrics with 30+year old BDU woodland fabric from my dad. 420D Nylon pack cloth Taiwan sourced woodland, same as used on my camping backpack in this thread , on far Left.

Made a backpack for camping/possibly patrol

I acquired 1 yard of Taiwan made Woodland 420D Nylon pack cloth off Ebay; and went about measuring, making pattern, and then sewn up this nifty 25L pack bag that attaches to an old Outdoors Products copy of the 1980s Coleman Peak 1 Small Frame; since MOLLE suspension attaches to this frame as if...

In middle, 500D Cordura US sourced Woodland from Rockywoods, pretty much identical to the MOLLE woodland gear. On far right is 30+ year old BDU woodland fabric. Its a cotton twill I think, ain't a ripstop.


Look in this other thread for Khaki/Ranger green fabrics that could work nicely in the woods

Ebay Tan 499/Khaki 500D fabric for gear

@Ura-Ki ; got the materials now... apparently its both Tan 499 and Khaki, being 2 yards continous... however I will not be taking orders or requests for at least two weeks as the wife and I are going to the hospital to induce labor tomorrow, and the next two weeks will be busy for us. Shown...

I have yet to get more Olive Drab greens and other greens to compare with the green gear I have

I like a lot of the Sitka patterns.

Well actually, I have some 500D Camo 483 fabric; that I used for a green Hi Point holster... here it is next to a scrap of 1000D tactical tailor green from a previous project, with various color buckles superimposed on it
With Tactical Tailor belt; note webbing is dead ringer for the blue tinted fabric, while the belt pad is identical to the scrap. Also shown is Blackhawk Industries H harness in 1990s olive drab


Same as above with London Bridge Trading Co H Harness from the 90s



ALICE gear and BHI H harness and London Bridge Trading co H harness, on 420D "Ranger green" and Camo 483 fabrics. One of the ALICE M16 pouches is a very close fit to the "Ranger Green" fabric.



Camo 483 and 420 "Ranger Green", with gear for comparison
Camo 483 under 2000s contract ALICE LC2 straps, which is a much closer match honestly, a mix of greens can be good for camoing without camo fabrics
