    OD Green and Ranger Green is great if you don't want to run dedicated camo pattern for your AO. I prefer Mas Grey but barely anyone makes gear and field clothing in them.

    Their uniforms look like an ACU-type cut, as opposed the older BDU cut of my time. Any idea who supplies these? Is it a .gov contractor or a COTS supplier? I've never seen these before in service, so your photos are a great education for me (and thanks much!)

    Likewise, many birds see into ultraviolet. I've become convinced that Dove do and a comfortable camo shirt that I would hunt in they were flaring off in ways they didn't before. This was also one of the shirts that flashed white on infrared.
    I hadn't thought about that aspect at all, but it's a compelling point and I need to consider it. Thanks for the helpful reply and for sharing the pro experience, both are gratefully appreciated.

    How does MAS gray do in the forest/wooded areas, in your experience?

    They're Propper ACUs.

    If you're going to consider IR spectrum, make sure you wash these uniforms with detergent that don't have any optical brighteners in them.

    Is OD making a comeback? Not according to MidwayUSA, who are annoyingly discontinuing everything they make in it and seem to be dumping Coyote in favor of Henry Ford Black for most things. (Personally annoying because Green vs Tan is how my gal and I mark "His & Hers" to match our rifles.)

    I've got Propper and Tru-Spec ACU-style.

    I think my kid was issued Propper when he was at Polk in 2018.

    The two best uniforms we fielded were the jungle utes and the Vietnam-era ERDL camo. Woodland right behind. Then things went off the rails.

    I read that somewhere a few years ago, I think on Brent0331s channel in the comments. Been using Woolite Dark in cold water, ever since.
