| Who did these guys spin off of? Are they pn par with LBT, TT, and the like? I like the looks of some of their stuff. |
|
Everything I've ever gotten from them (various modular pouches) was fairly obviously made by Tac Tailor. I've owned a lot of TT gear over the years and the construction, materials, and designs were identical, and I know TT does a good bit of other contract work using modifications or copies of their designs for other brands (like the MSM Adapt pack). |

It's not all TT any more.
I ordered a split front chest rig from them a while back after having bought some stuff that was clearly TT. Suffice it to say, the chest rig in question was not a TT Mav. They're a great source for pouches & the like but some of the bigger items are not of the same quality they were when everything was Tactical Tailor seconds & overruns. |

Just looked over their website and they definatly have some new pouches and such that seem like they might be made elsewhere than at TT. These might be the overseas items they've added, but a lot of their stuff still looks like the classic TT designs. I'd work of the concept of only buying the items that look like exact or very similar copies of items in TT's lineup as those are most likely still made by TT, and avoid the newer oddball items, unless their place of manufacture could be verified. For example: This double rifle mag pouch is an almost exact copy of one offered by TT, so I'd assume they are the OEM for this item: http://www.greyghostgear.com/pouches/ammo-pouches/double-mag-pouch-5-56 On the other hand, this mag pouch seems to be based off other designs, such as Eagle Industries, and uses sew on MOLLE straps over MALICE clips. I'd wager this might be one of the overseas products (or at the very least, not made by TT). The drastically lower price also seems to point to this: http://www.greyghostgear.com/pouches/ammo-pouches/double-mag-pouch-5-56-with-molle-strap |

Of course, it would be great if someone could confirm it, but I don't think the US Gov't contract stuff like this out overseas. |

Those Molle pouches were made in the states, occasionally we do contract work that requires us to use the strap and snap vs. Malice Clips.
Also as far as design wise the contract work is spec'd out to be exactly one design, whether it is something Eagle or Natick had already received an NSN number for. |
