Not for cheap :(

I looked around for a long time, and the only digital sets I found were in the normal BDU patterns, just digital fabric.
If anyone wants a set of ACUs, I can give them the website.  I dont recall off the top of my head right now is all.

Also, SF are green berets, they've been called green berets ever since, you guessed it...They wore a green beret, to jump on someone for using that term as opposed to "Special Forces" is quite quite silly.

Go surplussing...

I dont know if you'll find digital, but if you get the actual used stuff its like $6 a piece.

... I bought the digital i originally started this thread for, then i sold it. This thread is long dead and ressurecting it wont make me think any more highly of after market bdus, seeing as the ones i got from true spec were twill material and started fading and fraying after one wash. If its not issue i wont wear it...thats just my preference though.

I don't have one pair of BDUs from PROPPER.  I had 8 sets, 2 temperate and 6 EHW.  I haven't seen any issue BDUs come out of a CIF in AZ, Ft. Jackson, SC or Ft. Eustis, VA. . . ever.

That said, I know very well that PROPPER makes BDUs, DCUs, and even MCCUUs for the Corps.  I just don't have any myself.

Surplus Man, the TruSpec garments I have owned showed the same early signs of wear as you described.  Incidentally, they sell uniforms to the gov't under the name "Atlantco."  I have some of that stuff, and it is fantastic.

This isn't an issue of what brand and what kind of quality as much as it has to do with who get's what.  The gov't will always get the best of the products, while the stuff for public sale might be SI or have other minor imperfections as well as lower QC stds.

Overall, Propper is GTG.  Thier 100% cotton shit is all I wear in the summer months.

Faded digitals look better and work better as camo anyway- and you probably won't ever wear the real digitals long enough to fade them.
