Just a heads up, varusteleka has a stock of surplus Benin Pendjari Park Rangers uniform and ballcaps. They are the cool woodland type ones with the black parts shaped like buffalo horns, Lion heads and antelope hooves.
Don't know about the quality, but like many african uniforms they are cut like old french Airborne uniforms, so a very practical cut (think eotac field or Woolrich Algerian). Not terribly expensive at 70€ for the whole set.

I am swamped with orders right now and have customers that have been waiting a long time so I'm focused pretty feverishly on that which doesn't leave a lot of spare time... |

Bump.
Also, just found a brick and mortar surplus store near me that's still in business which is rare these days. They have a lot of Tru Spec stuff. Are people still finding them to be a decent brand for the money or have they pulled the ubiquitous move of trading rep for momentary profit by tanking their quality? |

Is it just me or does ATACs look like the camo worn by the Rebels on Endor in the movie "Return of the Jedi"?

0241 tactical, that makes a living by reprinting weird and obscure camouflages and making into clothing for the civilian market is shipping preordered uniforms in what they call "marpat tigerstripe", a tiger pattern in marpat colors trying to mimick one of the experimental patterns tested for the adoption of the then new marpat camouflage.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CxEMcp0OS3V/ this is the original trial pattern on the right  i don't know how it will work. i know that in my area (italy, mediterranean hills/low mountains) the desert tiger stripe pattern (as well the desert DPM) works very well year round, due to the abundance of yellowish browns in both seasons Also i discovered this austrian airsofter called Novritch, because i bought a mesh multicam boonie with his brand from a car boot sale (honest item BTW, well made). apparently he made his own camouflage whcih is a tiger stripe variant with black exchanged for brown, which makes it look faded, with extra bits of color added in. i think there are 12 colors, that is a lot, like many other commercial makers are doing.  https://us.novritsch.com/kreuzotter-is-here/ |

I also like Marpat but same problem. Currently I have a mix of MC, Ranger green and Marpat gear |

 Another duck hunter? As i said, they do that for a living. However Burkina Faso presidential guard has One with a Better colorway, chinese made, a sort of modernized F1 french cut. To be honest i think Burkina Faso army uniform May be a working Camo for some southwest US areas.  |

I also like Marpat but same problem. Currently I have a mix of MC, Ranger green and Marpat gear I had a helluva time finding it too. The two pieces I got were disappointing. Not the pattern, the fit. The hats are GTG, though. The combat shirt I got is way too short in the torso - so short, I can't tuck it in. And the pants are so fucking baggy, it's not even funny. Summer, here in PA, the pattern is perfect, though - if you can find any (and it fits!). ETA: Looks like there's a lot more available than when I tried to find it in Jan2023. That's good! |
