camo clothes questions

[shado]

Hey everybody, I'm new to this forum, but not to airsoft, and I have a couple of questions about Camo clothes. I was wondering if any of you guys had any good places to buy these clothes for a decent amount of money. I am also wondering... Are these things necessary for going to certain events? Like if they say "MARPAT only" does that mean I have to go out and buy that camo in order to participate?
Thanks in advance

Most events that you'll go to here in Michigan separate the teams by Green-based vs everythign else.
For green, anything woodland is fine. Things like traditional woodland BDU's, MARPAT, Flectarn, woodland Tigerstripes, and just plain OD green(Veitnam) is considered green. The everythign else category is usually things like civilian, desert colors, black, ACU, pretty much anythign that doesnt look like green, or has no green in it's pattern.

Camo is certainly not required for an event, but it sometimes make things a bit easier.

Now, some larger scale events, like the Breedland one Hado posted, or events like Northern Winds, Lion Claws, or Irene, they are very strict about camo req. So, in that case, when they say "MARPAT only, or "Woodland BDU v 3-color Desert" only, then in that case, you would have to go out and buy said camo for the event if you were to go.

Isn't there an Army Surplus place off of Woodward? Joe's or something in Royal Oak, that should be relatively close.

There is indeed a surplus store off of woodward.

Here's a listing of surplus and outdoor type stores in MI.

Hey! I live near birmingham! Anyways, try Joe's Army Navy on the east side of woodward between 13 mile and 14 mile. For guns/ammo/accessories, you'll have to hit up Spy Ops/King or check online. Good luck.

hey, I LIVE IN BIRMINGHAM!!! Ghast said everything you need to know though. welcome to MIAirsoft!

[shado]

Yeah, i know of Joe's Army Navy. Do they have good prices? never actually been in there.

[shado]

Thanks

dude, joes prices are decent. dont ever purchase a gun from them as they are WAY over priced. the camo selections they have is decent though, and for example, my Flecktarn was $8 for the coat and $8 for the pants. american camo's are more expensive.

I worked at Joe's for a while, but they pretty much said it, clothes, boots, gear, joe's is your place. But for god's sake if you pay 180$ for a We hi-capa you will be banned from this forum.

I was just at Joe's today actually.

Camo Selection: Woodland MARPAT, Desert MARPAT, ACU, Multi-Cam, Black, Woodland, Desert, and Urban. I think I saw some Flactarn in there somewhere to.

$30 Top
$30 Bottom

Thats for Proper Brand. (closest to the real thing IMO)

They also have used ones from the sandbox and such. They also sell Condor vest and Proper MOLLE pouches.

[Connors]

Their pouches are a steal, but for vests and the like, they have them way overpriced. Was Multicam also on that $30 pricetag?
