I saw this on ebay. He is saying that it is the new flecktarn colors. It looks the same. Has there been a change?

By newest he probably means the version that came out in the 90's...

And if not, he's full of crap.

He does sell good gear, he's the designer of the Tacgear-stuff.

There has been a slight change in colors for the Flecktarn print. The change is hard to describe, but overall it results in more matt colors and lowers contrasts.

Schumacher is a good guy and his stuff is good too.

I don't know why he advertises everything with that long string of every "sexy" key word he can think of - probably in order to ensure as many hits on the eBay searches.

It's hard to tell if he means the official Flecktarn colours have been adjusted, or if he just means that he's improved the colours on his gear (which have been a bit off at times in the past).

He is actually right: There has been a slight change to Flecktarn colors, however, the actual pattern has not changed. Brown and green are now dull, making it more of a disruptive pattern. Of course, items in the "old" pattern are issued until stocks are depleted. Right now one can see a mix of both old and new pattern items and clothing.

I do have one of his hats. It's very well made. He is on my favorite EBay sellers and this hat came up. I just thought it odd that he said that it was in the NEW Flecktarn. This is the 1st I have heard about it.

Does anyone have any links or better pictures that the ebay one?

On that picture, the boonie looks actually usable, not like the cheap chinese flecktarn knock-off I've seen from TacGear. Does anyone know if they changed the fabric used or is it just the lighting of that pic?

He's not trying to represent a hat as an "acu multicam ksk smock".

He's listed it that way so that his auctions appear whenever someone searches for any of those terms. It's a fairly common convention in ebay auction listings.

That ad on Ebay seemed a bit unprofessional, but i guess he have all those "sexy" words to get as many searchs as possible as Maple said.
Didn't know that the colors had been changed, it seems exactly the same as my old 1996 fleck parka. Probabily much easier to see in reality.

Their gear did look really good, loved their swedish camo stuff. To bad i live in Norway.
