So sexy it'll make ya Crye!

[TarwarWarrior]

Well boys and girls, it's always nice to be the kid on the block who has something first. And as far as we know, Lynx and I are the first people in airsoftland to have new Crye Precision Multicam combats!

Our project started a while back when at 2 a.m. we were discussing airsoft and I mentioned the Multicam pattern. Lynx being the switched on girl she is, kicked my ass out of bed and forced me to turn on the computer and show her. About 5 minutes after she saw the pics, we knew our next 'project' was born.

The next day my Glock went on sale and thanks to Ibby, funding for the project was a go. A quick trip to the Crye website and a visa card later, 16 yards of the NYCO 50/50 was en route. Two weeks later, we were in business.

The bitch of all this though was finding someone to throw it together exactly the way we wanted at a reasonable price. It took a bloody long time to find the person we did and even then it was a total fluke. The lady who took all this from the drawing board to reality has her degree in textiles and design for fashion. She has the right tools, the right skills, and understands why things need to be done a certain way. The end result was 2 full sets of combats that are absolutley bombproof. The quality blows our issue CADPAT out of the water and puts some of the current camo manufacturers to shame.

So what did we get exactly? Well, the designs that Lynx and came up with were taken from the best features of Canadian, Australian, British, and American uniforms as well as things we wanted to see specifically for us. In short this is what we wanted to see:

-Full length chest zippers w/ a velcro covering
-Reinforced seat, elbows, knees
-Velcro closure on all the pockets
-Elasticized waist
-Internal shock cord draw cuffs and waist cord
-Custom glowstick pocket
-Sleeve mounted pockets
-Internal chest pockets w/ D-rings
-Custom internal kneepad pockets

And a whole lot more!

Anyhow, the boonie caps are being worked on as we speak and will be done shortly. All this work for damn near a song and a dance! Plus, we have more accessories coming online with the ample fabric left over.

Damn, I knew that was gonna happen, i just gazed over text for a few seconds i was instantly taken in by the pictures.

I feel stupid :lol:

Articles take too long to read! p-)

Is one of you left handed and the other right, hence the opposite sides the chest zippered pockets are on?

[TacoDelRio]

Cool beans, man! Cool beans.

Till then, I'll just use my CRYE(lon) spraypaint camo!!! Hehehe...

[Falco]

DOes the quality compare to what Drop Zone Tactical produces (Ops series pants and shirts)

[ZeroPositive]

that is very impressive if you guys made it urself, can't really compare it to issue stuff as Issue stuff is always made by the cheapest maker and the lowest bidder.

Nice work

[TarwarWarrior]

Hey all, sorry it took me a bit to get back to you but for some reason my work computer won't display the proper reply thread. Anyhow...

Xanthais-Final cost on both uniforms including material, labour, shipping, taxes, duty, etc was around $600.00 CDN. The labour for both sets and hats was $300 which is a very good price compared to a lot of the prices we sourced out.

Howitz - The reason the chest pockets are on opposite sides is due to the difference in cut between the men and women's shirt. My zipper flap folds over to the right (traditional man's cut) and and it would be too difficult to have the pocket opening be partially covered by the flap. Woman's shirt is vice versa. Also, the woman's zipper pocket is mounted slightly lower to compensate for the '**** factor'. :D

Falco - Quality wise, compared to the Ops shirts and pants its hard to say. I don't own either but many of the guys in my club do and they are a very solid product. I can say that we overbuilt our sets to make them last. Brian Kroon was really great to me when I phoned him and asked him for his input on materials and such. Very gracious man and not one to hoard any knowledge he may have.

This Sunday we will be conducting extensive field tests with the Multicam and comparing it against many other camo types in various environments. Stay tuned!

I wonder how they stack against the units being produced by Crye?

Just curious, why didn't you just decide to wait for Crye to release the BDUs. Is it just that you wanted them custom tailored for you? Only reason I ask is because of the price you paid to do it yourself

[TarwarWarrior]

Honestly, we didn't know how long we would have to wait and there is something to be said for doing it yourself. Also, we liked the challenge of creating something from the ground up and tailoring it to our needs.

Now with Crye's product line now at the pre-order stage, we can see the prices they have to offer. Going with the field pants and shirts, it's $380 US right there. Tack on a bit more for the boonie caps which have yet to have aprice attatched. Do a conversion to CDN bucks, add shipping, duty, etc. And it will end up being the same thing. Plus, they aren't even ready to ship it yet.

Part of it also has to do with the want to be 'first' as well. I can't deny that. :D

actualy, you werent first :P sorry bud, Militarymorons.com did a reveiw on the multicam a while back that crye sent to them. So militarymorons was infact the first in the airsoft world to get the new BDU's.

But great job!

He made the bdus out of nothing. He bought the material and custom tailored them. As for militarymorons they are not into airsoft but real steal and gear.

[TacoDelRio]

.... and airsoft too.

Where can I get a job like that.....

[Turkish]

its not their job, its a hobby/past time

[Umbrella1636]

my point stands, Militarymorons was the first to get the Multicam uniforms and they DO play airsoft. and yea great job that they made them by there selfs, i admire that. But my point is not about that. its about who got it first. And military morons did!!!

[Turkish]

true, they had it a WHILE ago, and before that nobody had really been introduced to this stuff, so they pretty much brought it into the light.

[TarwarWarrior]

Yeah that's right, MM DID get his TRIAL stuff from Crye and he is in the STATES. I read his excellent review the day it went up and compared a lot of the features Crye had implemented with things we already had in the works.

We are located in CANADA and are also the first people in the country to have a set. I posted here for interest sake for others. Originally this post was located over various CANADIAN websites. So we are the first ones in CANADA to have it. Although not worder that way in the post nor dies my location show under my avatar, it is what was meant.

WTF - which pictures have MM posing with an Airsoft gun? The only ones I know of are of those with the 3100 FPS, Magnafluxed chromelined barrel upgrade that everyone wants but cant have ;).....

Tarwarwarrior,

Lookin good! I to am infatuated with the multicam pattern and was pointed her by bolter9 who read my post on another board.

I play Milsim paintball and am currently making myself (much like you two did) a set of BDU's out of multicam. I also got COPS 911 to make me a paintball oriented tactical vest in MULTICAM. I get to see pictures of it on Monday!

Thanks for giving me inspiration!

BTW,, I just signed up here to tell you that !

[hammerlock]

Here's question for ya, where is the Canadian in your design? From your pics I see nothing that reminds me of Canadian combats, both the old OD's and new cadpat ones. And why so much velco? I find that buttoms work better and they look shaper.

But your kit look great, but I don;t see any British or Canadian in that design; just US BDU's.

[TarwarWarrior]

You should be able to see some CDN features from those pics, albeit they are subtle We adopted the sandtraps straight from our issue combats as well as on my shirt I retained the waist draw string. The dimensions and cut (pockets excluded here) are taken right from my issue shirt. The elastisized waist of the pants is also a feature we adopted from CDN issue CADPAT.

From the British we took the chest zipper pockets - a feature I like very much from my DPM jacket. Also, the velcro cuff closure was also borrowed from that same design.

The choice to use velcro over buttons came from a few reasons. First, we wanted cleaner lines and having a bunch of buttons all over the place wasn't as visually appealing to us. Second, we could have gone with covered buttons ( i.e. - the Gen III CADPAT) but why go through the extra fuss. Velcro is just as good and is faster. Lastly, buttons can get ripped off in the bush or on gear where velcro doesn't suffer that kind of fate. Follows the cleaner lines idea.

Thanks for the comments!
