An Update On MilSpec Monkey – A Real Urban Grey

Tuesday, April 21st, 2015

Since we’ve last reported on MilSpec Monkey’s attempt at finding a true Urban Grey, he’s made some notable progress. Testing various greys from various manufacturers, Monkey eventually found a shirt and pant combination that seems to closely mirror what he’s looking for in an urban grey. Monkey’s next goal is to start producing fabric samples in Greys that mirror what he’s researched, as well as possibly involve some interested manufacturers. As before, we’re eager to see where his efforts lead.

MilSpec Monkey – A Real Urban Grey

Monday, April 6th, 2015

Grey is the new Black in the tactical industry, with practically every gear and clothing company producing their own grey kit. The argument for it is simple; grey makes for a great neutral color that works very well in urban environments. But which shade of grey is the best? That’s a question MilSpec Monkey is looking to answer.

Monkey starting seriously looking into what makes the best urban grey due to a number of complaints resulting from MSM’s use of a warm, almost brown grey for their patches. Monkey took a look at various shades of grey being used by industry manufacturers, and found that, generally, they’re too cool, too medium, too “charcoal” to work well in an urban environment. To quote Monkey’s own article: “Although concrete starts out some sort of grey, the outside is a dirty place and dirt tends to be brown.”

Through his research, Monkey is looking to find a warmer, more natural grey for clothing and gear, and we’re eager to see where these efforts lead.
