Been thinking about making another set for AK since you can get the ucp so cheap so I'll have to remember. |

Aside from adding vinegar to solutions intended for nylon field gear, and salt to cotton/poly clothing, that is. Don't forget that essential, and important difference. With Nylon field gear, making a solution highly-saturated with dye is not usually a problem, as long as the dyer realizes that with nylon, what you see is a tinch darker than the dry result, and pulls the gear before it gets too dark. Fairly simple: Dye some gear, pull it when desired effect is achieved, add more dye, repeat process. Simple. With cotton/poly uniforms/clothing, the saturation of the dying solution must be controlled to a much finer degree. The material naturally darkens to a great degree by being wetted with water alone, and so this masks the effects of the dye. Too much dye, and the clothing, which takes the dye almost instantly, is too dark. With the case of cotton/poly material, the material takes the dye so fast that pulling it is not usually an option. So, and with the understanding that I am NO expert in dyeing cotton/poly material, I would suggest that the dyer start by using disposable items of identical material/camo pattern as test items, and dying them with rather light concentrations of dye. Remember that it is always possible to dye darker, but never possible to dye lighter than the original material. A number of subsequent dyeings, with small, but progressively higher concentrations of dye, should allow one to reach, in stages, the desired color with cotton/poly material. I'd dye a tinch darker, and reckon on some of the dye eventually washing-out, even if a dye-fixer compound (available from Rit) was used. Frankly, all the USMC Marpat is likely to be replaced by (USMC-LOGO-ed) Army Multicam clone camo patterns, including Desert Marpat. I'd leave the Marpat items alone because they will no doubt become collector's items in due course. Collectors love genuine USMC stuff. YMMV. |

OTOH, it's better that UCP for any green environment than the original, so there is that to consider. Some day, original UCP field gear is going to command stupid prices from collectors. My making dyeing threads is driving such future prices up. They should pay me for driving up the value of their collections. |

After some time has gone by, and after further experimentation, and much thought given to the topic of dyeing UCP nylon gear, I have come to the following conclusion.
First, some background. The original UCP gear has 3 different pixels. One light, usually very light tan or even white, a medium pixel always of the usual Foliage Green, and a dark pixel, always of a very dark version of Foliage Green. This camo pattern is an excellent one to use when viewed by an opponent using Night Vision Gear. Other than that, unless coated by dirt, it's a terrible pattern. When deliberately 'dirtied-up", it's passable, in some circumstances. The camo pattern relies on the disruptive pattern of the light/med/dark pixels to work. In short, the contrast between the different shaded pixels IS the camo pattern. If dyeing these nylon gear items, please keep in mind that the lighter pixels will "take" the dye much more readily than the darker pixels. Since it is necessary to maintain a distinction between the light/med/dark pixels, in order for the camo pattern to work, it is necessary to dye the item in such a manner to leave the lighter pixels with a trace of the desired tint (Green/Brown), but to NOT dye them too dark. Less is More. Dye the item to desired color, but I suggest that a lighter dyeing will maintain a better contrast and better camo effect than a darker dyeing. One can always re-dye to a darker shade, but NEVER to a lighter shade. The contrast is KEY with the UCP pattern., YMMV. |

Figured I’d add to this. Was going for something Ranger Greenish. LBT 6094, started off as ABU pattern.
Used about 3-4 gallons of water, 3 bottles of Rit Dye (liquid, synthetic mixture) Peacock Green, and 1/2 bottle Rit Dye (liquid) Dark Brown. Sat the pan on an outdoor turkey fryer base, got it boiling, and let soak for 8 minutes (with regular stirring/churning). I threw some pouches in for roughly 30 minutes first but they came out with a bluish tinge. ETA: The Velcro on the chest plate is a dark green, not black like the picture seems, but otherwise the colors are represented well, although a little bit more blue than they look in person..

@raf What are your thoughts on taking multicam and adding black for "multicam black" or green for "multicam tropic"? Also, have you tried getting ACU dyed to wolf grey? As always, the lighter pixels always take more dye than the darker pixels. In some cases, such as with Apple Green, the lighter pixels are still light, and the medium and dark UCP pixels also take the dye to varying degrees. This maintains the contrast, which is an essential part of the camouflage pattern. In many cases, over-dyeing can yield a decent overall color, but the breakup pixilation of the original pattern will be lost. Your call. Remember one IMPORTANT point: It is always possible to dye darker, if the initial result is not what one desires. It is impossible to go lighter than what one has initially. So go easy at first, and re-dye to suit your desires. Take notes, and soon you will be an expert. There are still batches/lots of UCP grenade pouches for sale cheap, and such make great experimental items. Another IMPORTANT point: Most of the tips on the Rit Dye website are concerned with dyeing cotton fabric, not nylon field gear. A Brown dye, perfectly acceptable for cotton clothing, comes out Martian RED on nylon field gear. I use Taupe for dyeing brown, instead of Red, or Tan. The point is to experiment on discardable items before dyeing something valuable. 1) Black Multicam. I think I'd experiment with some light grey dyes, suitable for nylon. That will give the lighter pixels a slightly darker cast, and darken the medium and dark pixels a bit. I don't know how the webbing will take the dye. 2) Wolf Grey. Find a Dye that gives a light/medium gray cast. Experiment. I think that with the right dye, the lighter pixels in UCP will take the dye, and come close to matching the medium and darker ones. Done right, probably a better camo pattern than UCP or Wolf Grey, although pixelation will still be present, and IMHO, this is desirable. If you don't want this, then re-dye, and accept that a darker grey than Wolf Grey will likely be the result. Multicam Tropic. Straight Apple Green will probably give the best results in "greening-up" UCP while maintaining/accentuating contrast. Some examples of dyeing UCP with straight Apple Green can be seen near the beginning of this thread. It's worth mentioning that someday, Excellent condition UCP gear will command collector's prices, because it was not long issued. Perhaps hanging on to Excellent condition UCP gear, and selling it to a collector in a few years might be the smart move. Even now, 3-color and 6-color USGI Desert camo pattern stuff is rising in price, and such items were also issued in limited numbers/amounts. Condition is everything, but the amount issued (scarcity) is right up there, too. Your call. As a former collector of USGI field gear, I say that collectors will pay remarkable prices for good to excellent condition gear. Just depends on waiting till the right time, and putting up the gear for sale on Ebay or similar. Trust me on this. |

| @raf - I skimmed through the thread, excellent work! My question is what is the point of diminishing returns dying something black. Specifically ACU patterned gear - if I don't care about maintaining a camouflauge pattern at all and instead just want to get close to all black, what's the longest leaving it submerged will help? I saw the backpack above by another member (which looks pretty good to me) but didn't know if you had any experience in it, perhaps with dye fail jobs. (edit: tracking on potential resale value, I think the ugliest camo pattern ever will have a great resale value one day lol!) |

This may sound dumb but has anyone dyed multicam?
I just ordered a British MTP? (Basically multicam) and I'm worried it might not be green enough for the summer woods of the north east. The idea of greening it cost my mind. Keep in mind I need it to blend well for surveillance. |

Below are 2ea $20 TAG ACU chest rigs. I boiled about 4 Gal of water in my propane turkey fryer. I transferred that to a plastic 5 Gal bucket and mixed in the full bottles pictured below of vinegar and Rit Dark Green. I stirred them with a big ass 1 3/4" wrench and threw in the chest rig. The padding from the chest rig straps wanted to float, so the wrench was used to keep everything sunk in the dye bath. My intent was to keep some of the pixilation of the original pattern, so the chest rig only stayed in the dye bath for about 15 mins. I pulled it out an rinsed it in another 5 Gal bucket of fresh water. The end result is pictured below.

Has anyone tried this color - Moss Green 3/4 cup Apple Green 10 Tbs Dark Green 1/2 Cup Dark Brown I looked it up on Rit's website. Also when you guys are talking about 4 parts to 1 parts. Are you saying Tbs or Tsp? I don't have a bottle in front of me to look at. I'm waiting for some dye to show up. |

In my posts, saying "4:1"means just that. It's a proportion, Use identical measure for both dyes, as long as they are of the same type--that being liquid or powder. However, powdered Rit dyes are of a different concentration than Rit liquid dyes. Not teasing you, but all this is contained in my original thread. Many Congrats on trying to learn. Re-read the original thread, and you will discover the difference between liquid and powdered Rit dyes. No, I'm NOT trying to be a jackass. Just suggesting you re-read, carefully. It's all there. If I dump something in your lap, you have learned nothing. If you have to do some digging/learning, than such will stick with you; You have learned something. Go do some learning, and become the current-day guru. The pathway is open to you. |
