I've often thought a red bath robe, boxers, black socks, white Chuck Taylors, and one of those fake captains hats they wear at the country clubs.


How about this?

Oddly enough that's one of my favorite movies, but I really think it would be better with the captain's hat like the judge had in Caddyshack.

i've got woodland and some OD green canadian stuff. the canadian stuff is pretty comfortable, so i might wear that.

or, i have dark blue coveralls, and a big leather welders apron. with the coveralls tucked into my boots and the apron it's look scary.

ACUs are worthless. If I wasn't made to wear them, i wouldn't. I have about 20 sets of pressed BDUs still sitting in my basement, so if I needed to wear something that might get trashed, i'd go with those.

Yup.

And now that's Multicam has gone in price to $30 per piece (less for hats, of course), just about everyone can afford at least one full set.

Where does one buy multi cam for $30/ piece?


U.S. Cavalry has them BDU-style for $30 each (jacket, pants) and ACU-style for about twice that. Boonie hat is $15. Don't remember the price for helmet covers, but they finally have them back in stock.

ETA: Price went up on the BDU-style Multicam. It's $35 a piece now. Made by Propper.

Helmet covers are about $15, MICH and PASGT styles.

I ran an "Op" against some serial doorbell ditchers two weeks ago.



I wore a black T-Shirt,  blue jeans,  Bates desert boots and a fuzzy,  brown blanket I stole off my sleeping 3 year old on the couch.

I fired nearly 400 rounds of airsoft at them from distances of 15-50 yards. Even when they knew my general area,  they still couldn't find me.  I was laying prone in some bushes under the fuzzy brown blanket.


I might have well been invisible.  Only after I jumped up and initiated a fixed bayonet charge did they find out exactly where i was.

that was about the time they commenced the girlie-scream retreat maneuver.

Tactically speaking, it really depends on your surrounding. Our neighborhood team squad wears this and will never think about fashion before function. One must be prepared for daylight and the cover of darkness, but you can go a little footloose.

I'd wear normal civilian clothes like I already do: cargo pants and a loose, plain solid-color T-shirt, with a pair of civilian work boots.  

Most of my civilian clothes are colors that would be found in nature, like OD green, brown/tan/dark khaki, dark blue, gray, etc.

While I really like the look of Multicam, I think I would feel like a total geek wearing a set of it.  My "urban camo" is Carharts.  I do have some BDU pants, in Navy, Khaki, and one pair in OD, but I only typically wear those camping or to the shooting range..

+87

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. I intend to blend in.

All my casual clothes are just subdued sporting clothes in colors from nature. I'm not going to dress any different.


I tend to agree. Best not to wear something that is just going to be a big "shoot me" sing. Go with a "uniform" that lets you blend in with the people , rather than the forest.

Best to not stick out.  Cargo pants some boots and a top that could conceal a handgun and some body armor if possible.

I wear my Night Desert jacket all the time. It's like a trench coat with a hood. Eventually, I'm going to spray it with scotch-guard to make it water resistant.

As a camo pattern, it's only good in VERY low-light conditions. It'd be pretty decent camo lying prone on the edge of the forest. Then again, in those conditions, just about anything would work.

There's a reason it was only issued during Gulf War 1, and then subsequently surplused. It's cool, but not all that useful. Kinda like east-bloc "rain" camo.

This makes perfect sense.

and if i HAD to pick an in-use camo pattern, it would be ABUs, just out of brand loyalty.  Pattern is a non-factor here anyway.


I'm right there, only because I got four sets for 100% less than N_T paid for his.
I've also got about six sets of woodland BDUs for the same price.

Shit, I could mix-n-match!

But when it comes down to it, I'd rather wear something comfortable and functional.  It may be cargo pants, it may be jeans.  Either way, my "neighborhood" is a small subdivision (~30 houses) and can be secured quite easily & well.  I've given it some thought.

For all of you saying Multi-Cam is the Official Camo Pattern of ARFCOM. . .


Everyone who's been here longer than ten minutes knows the correct answer is MARPAT.
