Hi, my name is Eric and I’m an addict; a tigerstripe addict.
This is the Tony The Tiger Chukka from Mark McNairy.
These don’t come cheap so I’ll just have to round up some of that shill money the government crony commandos keep claim I’m taking, so I can afford a pair.

Thanks Jason D!
Here are some photos of pre-production samples. The covers will be offered in Lupus as well as MultiCam and will have printed loop. Preorders will be up in a week and will ship around September 15th.
As I meandered through the maze-like halls of Outdoor Retailer I looked up to see a manikin decked out in Orion Design Group’s Lupus camouflage pattern. Turns out, I had run into the MMI Textiles booth. They print this pattern as well as several others including the PenCott family.
Aside from Kryptek brand being featured in several booths, they are here with the Idaho Commerce Office. Looks like there are a couple of new colorways as well.
SJK tactical and hunting gear has been working on a prototype Hunting Vest but looking at it, I can see a lot of utility here. Especially if they meet their price point goal of under $100. Naturally, it will be offered in Kryptek Highlander.
This photo isn’t from the 90s. It was taken just this year at the 25th Infantry Division Tropic Lightning Academy’s Jungle Operations Training Center.

Just in case you thought your camouflage was bad, there’s always this.

This sample of Valdyr camouflage was digitally printed on Durastretch 520V by MMI Textiles. You may recognize the pattern from Revision Military’s Kinetic Operations Suit built for USSOCOM’s TALOS program.
The Durastretch 520V is actually a lighterwight fabric than you’d think. It’s a Berry compliant, 5.3 oz, 90% Nylon/10% Spandex ripstop, stretch fabric. I’m hoping to see someone make something out of it soon (hint, hint Trey and Tom!).
MMI Textiles offers a variety of fabric printing capabilities including the digital print option seen above. Be sure to visit them at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, August 5th-8th in Salt Lake City, Utah – Booth # 355-304.
