Are these not the right colour? http://www.epicmilitaria.com/product.ph ... t-trousers

As ATF say on their website. I don't think anyone else sells their stuff.

You have me wondering now... I ordered some of those from epic and I thought they were the same colour. I'll have to have another look!

But surely different shades were common depending on the dye being used. So mix matched uniforms were common as muck.

Go the the At The Front US uniforms main page and click on the link under "To learn all about khaki".

I think the point is that mismatched stuff is fine... :)

And possibly more accurate.

The same applies to British Battledress.

Look at pics of Monty and he nearly always has mismatched top and bottom.

I remembered... then forgot again... lol

My airsoft room was a bit of a mess cos we had the plumber around checking the non-working radiator, then I broke and tried to fix a moscart (its buggered) and then did the barrel/hop fix to my MP40... by which time it was time to spend some quality time with my wife. :)

I'll remember tonight!

Ok but I still would like a pair in OD7.

Did you check yours Yith to see if they are the darker colour?

My point is, there are variations within the bracket of OD7 so you're going to find it very difficult, if not impossible, to find a perfectly matching jacket and trouser set, unless they were cut from immediately adjacent pieces of cloth.

Have a look at this:

http://www.ww2airsoft.org.uk/zoom/us-101.html

Would that much colour difference be acceptable? The jacket is a Dutch unissued jacket and the trousers are repro. Although I'm not sure where they're from, they're definitely not ATF. Possibly SOF. I bought them of a forum member.

Okay... I've checked and to be honest I'd have to say mine are not as dark as the ones in the pic.
