"real" Multicam

I have several bits of Multicam from a few sources..

Truspec-- is to my understanding using Crye produced fabric.. its 50-50 cotton nylon.. ripstop.. I have a pair of these.. and they are very nice.

Also have some Seals Action Gear Muticam stuff-- also Crye produced fabric..

Propper is to my understanding licensing the pattern and producing ( or having produced) their own fabric.. their standard BDU fabric is stiffer than what Crye produces.. but the pattern is the same.

What has to be understood is the Crye is the owner of the Pattern.. that is what is authentic..

Several other companies have licensed that pattern and are producing various things in the Crye Muticam pattern.. if it is tagged Crye Multicam.. it is "real" muticam even if the fabric is not from Crye.

Clearly a number of "clones" of the Crye pattern have been made... they differ from Crye in hue and detail.. but none the less they are Multicam.. as much as, say, Parklands Marpat is "real" marpat.. Which is to say... on its own it looks like it.. but side to side.. it's differences are apparent.
