I know there is a fairly large market out there for the so called "Combat Shirts". Similar to the ones made by Crye Precision and the Army ACU Combat shirt. The only problem is, is that they only colors offered are Multicam and ACU. After some searching I found a solution.

Tony offers all sorts of different customizing options for BDU tops. You can have any camo pattern you want modified to be either a RAID BDU or with an Under Armour shirt sewn in.
I opted for the hybrid combat shirt with the UA shirt sewn in. I got the Mandarin collar with velcro on the outside for patches, and velcro cuff closures in all black.
The stitching is absolutly immaculate. It truly looks as though it were done professionally and I could take it out into combat. Anywhere the UA shirt meets up with the Propper BDU shirt is double stitched. The zipper for the mandarin collar is well stitched as well.
I honestly cannot say enough about this shirt. It looks shit hot and is comfortable as well as pretty affordable. Considering I had to buy both the UA shirt as well as the BDU blouse, the final product shipped to my door was around $100.
The only downside is that if you catch Tony at the wrong time, you could end up waiting a while to get your shirt due to the fact that he is active army. Mind you once you get the shirt you will realize that it was well worth the wait. He is very professional, responded to my emails quickly even while on deployment, and was very apologetic that he couldn't get the shirt done on time and sent to me. Don't think that I was upset about it, I mean hey, when you get deployed how am I going to bitch about not getting a shirt to play airsoft in?
Anyhoo, here are my crappy cell phone pics:
I will replace these with better pictures once I put new batteries in my actual camera.
