Munin got the fabric directly from Crye, and a...friend...was kind enough to sew the pants.

My ex-wife sewed the pants. They are essentially Crye-pattern knockoffs, with all the same pockets and gewgaws. The only thing they're missing is the pocket in the reinforced knee, in which you can stash an internal kneepad. I despise internal kneepads, so I had her close up the reinforced knee all the way around. I gave frostee a yard of raw MultiCAM cloth and he was kind enough to make the helmet cover for me.

Do you have plans to make a Jaket? And how much fabric did you need?

That does look very nice Munin, how much was it for it all, did you just order it off of SKD?
Also on the ACU note there were some National Guardsmen at our school today who had it on. It actually looks very nice upclose but it looked a bit worn to me and I wonder how well it would work.

No, I didn't order the fatigues, I ordered the fabric. It was sewn right in my own living room. The prices for the fabric are listed on the Crye website. It's something like $7.50 per yard. A pair of pants takes between two and three yards.

Since the thread got bumped anyways, I should have my BDU's from SKD by the end of the week.

I will be interested to see how it does in winter... when we have snow...
I saw the pics on Multicams site of it in the snow, but I wasn't very impressed. Perhaps the pics dont do Multicam justice. I am still skeptical of its in snow performance however.

And in many ways that is my point. While Multicam does afford superb concealment in most environments I feel it is simply unable to effectively work in snow environments. But, I suppose that is a mere detail compared to its obvious advance in camouflage technology.

I agree with you Toothbrush, but then I'm not a believer in any supposedly 'universal' patterns. I don't believe any normal fabric can make a universal camouflage scheme. However, I do believe Multicam is going to work well for most of the year.

The Army picked the ACU because they want a rediculous amount for Multicam. ACUs are expensive enough at almost a 100 bucks a set...Joe doesn't want to spend over 200 on a uniform. That and multicam wasn't finished when the Army put out its contract.
And the ACU does work, its damn ugly but i've seen it in the desert...when its dirty it works well. Key point there is "dirty".
But alas I do agree, Multicam is the sheeznit I wish they would have picked it up. But if you look at all the Army research, all future prototypes are in multicam. Hopefully someday....
