    These people have quite a selection. http://www.tridentmilitary.com/index.html

    I see they even have the old Rhodesian pattern, which we found to be more than adequate back in the '80's.

    some of the patterns just do not look right or ring true some of the German stuff is way off and the supposed Vietnam era tiger strip is all wrong. I had a set of real issue Tiger Stripe back in the 80's playing paintball as semi pro and it had lot more white to it and no brown it was marked 1967 issue so it was the real deal. I was tall skinny racing and playing foll back then with a 30" waist so it was easy to get the real stuff for me.

    back then a lot of teams use Tiger Stripe and a lot of German and Russian camo anything that worked better in the 7 acre fields of the US better then woodland.

    I am familiar with the original Tiger Stripes and their effectiveness. The Woodland pattern was an offshoot of the Vietnam leaf pattern. Where I worked, Rhodesian blended in more effectively than the tigers.

    If you want the original tigers, then go to Tiger Stripe Products they've been making the original tigers since the '70's. http://www.tigerstripeproducts.com/
    BTW, if you look farther down the page, you'll see they carry Tiger Stripe Products.

    I know TS well I still use a harness from when they were heavily into paintball back in the day. One of the teams i played for was sponsored I got the gear then and that is all that is left. these days I wear a camo kilt and what ever shirt I find useful for the weather it could be anything from camo pattern to neon it matters not these days as when you start you see your opponents blending is not of much use any more.

    I've never played paintball. My oldest son plays. The other two sons and two of the daughters are talking about getting into it.

    Rockywoods.com has that. They claim 12 oz per yard. It's item number 6511-DN. Haven't seen it in person, but have ordered fabrics they label 12oz and it seemed a bit heftier that that when I got it. Here's a link
