Dyeing ACUs revisited: Revenge of the Tan




  The Research Team was hard at work again, trying to find solutions to life's big problems.
  Last night's research revealed some fascinating data.
1. Tan ain't so hot for this project. The first set in the dye sucked up all the color and, while it definitely appears to be an improvement over the original color, we are going to deem it a waste of time.
2. That time could have been spent answering the phone when the head researcher's girlfriend called to ask if he wanted In N Out.

The product. About $2.50 at your favorite retail outlet.

The first set into the dye really sucked out all of the color, so subsequent sets were almost unaffected. If you insist on doing tan, expect one bottle to yield one set of dyed ACUs.

                     Final results.
From Left: Green dyed ACUs, undyed control ACUs, best case tan dyed ACUs, MarPat desert.

          The picture of failure.

Conclusions: Just about anything you do to ACUs is an improvement to their camoflauge capabilities, including shit them or spill In N Out Burger special sauce on the leg. Tan might work if left in for an extended period and only on one set, so you'll lose a little of the frugality factor. Just remember to monitor your phone or you'll have to share a drink and she will forget to bring you peppers. How the fuck am I supposed to enjoy a Double Double without the peppers?!
