I am in need of a woodland BDU. Can anyone point me out to a good website to buy one? Thanks.

A word of advice about buying BDUs: I would recommend you buy only ripstop fabrics. Non-ripstop fabrics will fray and lose their color after just a few washes. I made the mistake of not buying ripstop, and my BDUs didn't last long. It's worth the few extra bucks.

Polycotton/Twill is also a good bet. They do fade, but are damn near impossible to damage.

I would go with the NYCO blend(Nylon/Cotton) which is a ripstop fabric, color fast and very durable.

In my experience, the quality of the fabric and the dye chosen make more difference than the composition. I have polycotton twill Rothco BDU pants in woodland that began to fade right away. The Tru-spec blouse that I bought on the same day, at the same store, in the same fabric, looks fine still. I treat them as a set, so they've been worn together, washed together, dried together, and stored together, but the Rothco looks like ass and I could still wear the Tru-spec. These days I wear mostly Proper and none of them have faded, regardless of the fabric I chose.

It always helps if you follow the proper washing directions on the labels as far as fading. Propper has faded the least of any brand I've bought. Everyone else seems to fade quickly no matter what I've done.
