  • If required, prototype inkjet fabric samples can be printed on 100% cotton twill or ripstop material. This process usually takes three to five weeks due to the difficulties involved in color matching.

  • If production quality sample fabric is required, the printing factory requires a minimum of 5000 yards of fabric to be printed. This also requires making roller print screens (two weeks) and a minimum of six to eight weeks to schedule to print. A normal production run for the print factory is 10,000 yards but they will do 5,000 yards for an additional per yard charge.

  • If prototype uniforms are required, it can be arranged to have them made from either the inkjet fabric or production quality fabric.

  • Any camouflage design ideas and/or camouflage pattern designed by us is copyrighted with appropriate the payment schedule and/or royalty compensation applying.

  • We would be happy to discuss how we can help to achieve your camouflage project needs.

The most commonly asked question...

Can you make me one uniform?
PLEASE READ!

    The quick answer is that we are not a tailor shop and do not have any sewing machines. In addition, we no longer have clothing made for us by sewing contractors as was done for many years. We now only license industrial size manufacturers to use our camouflage designs on fabric they choose for their own product lines.

    We often receive requests from individuals to make from one to fifty sets of a particular old or new camouflage pattern however making top quality uniforms is not nearly as easy as you might think.

    Custom making one, two, or even twenty uniforms at a time, like a tailor shop, is just not possible. Producing a top quality uniform is a very expensive undertaking that can cost upwards of $150,000, or more, to manufacture just one colorway because of the minimum requirements of both the sewing and print factories.

    Take our original "ADVISOR" style uniform for example. It can be Special Ordered ONLY by purchasing an entire production run of 2000 sets or 4000 individual pieces. These numbers are required because you are required to use the entire special order production run of fabric necessary to assemble these uniforms. The print factories require a minimum of 10,000 yards of fabric to be printed to make it worth their time to stop their machines to set up for your very small minimum 10,000-yard print run.

    (** New technology has allowed us to print "small" sample runs of our copyrighted patterns at a much more reasonable price than ever before. These fabric samples will be as close to production level printing as possible without having to meet the print factory's huge fabric print minimums. Printing can include IR rated dyes if your testing requires this feature. Please contact us with your camouflage design and sample needs.)

    All available styles of uniforms are assembled in large sewing factories using mass production techniques. If fabric printed with any of our camo patterns is already available, the sewing factory will make you a minimum of 500 sets with a minimum of 25 pieces per size. If fabric needs to be printed then you must purchase all of this fabric (min. 10,000 yards) and have a minimum of 500 sets with a minimum of 25 pieces per size assembled.

    This also assumes you have selected a uniform design already being made by the sewing factory. Any changes to current designs or a new design would have to be approved by the sewing factory. This would also add to your cost because new graded uniform patterns would need to be made, uniform sizing and layout  samples produced which would then have to be approved by you.

    Unfortunately, making a top quality uniform is not an easy nor inexpensive task otherwise we would make a few dozen of every new camouflage pattern we design. Sorry, but those are just the realities of manufacturing uniforms.

Basics of uniform manufacturing


    Production Uniforms
    Uniforms can be manufactured using any of our patterns. You are licensed to use the pattern for your products and a small royalty fee is attached to each fabric yard printed. Arrangements can be made to have a major manufacturer produce your order. (Minimums apply) Email us for details.

    (** New technology has allowed us to print "small" sample runs of our copyrighted patterns at a much more reasonable price than ever before. These fabric samples will be as close to production level printing as possible without having to meet the print factory's huge fabric print minimums. Printing can include IR rated dyes if your testing requires this feature. Please contact us with your camouflage design and sample needs.)

    Pre-production Samples
    Actual pre-production sample uniforms can be assembled however, there are substantial costs involved. Depending on how many colors are in the pattern, the fabric type, and the print type, costs could be $20,000 to $40,000 for one uniform of this type. The bulk of this cost is attributed to printing production fabric (example based upon printing a minimum 5,000 yards).

    To print fabric, you first need to make roller screens. More colors equals more screens. More screens equals more cost. Print factories require a regular minimum of 10,000 yards to be printed. A smaller order of 5,000 yards can be printed but you will be charged a per yard premium from the print factory. Sewing charges for samples are approximately $150 per set.

    Advantages:
    - You get the same printing, sewing, and fabric quality as you would get in regular production.
    - Fabric is exactly what you want.
    - Colorfast printing.
    - See uniform in person.
    - Good for catalog photos.

    Disadvantages:
    - Have to make screens.
    - Super high cost for fabric printing due to required print factory minimums.
    - 8 to 10 weeks to print fabric order.
    - Sewing patterns needed for style not normal to factory.


    Prototype Uniforms
    If just one prototype uniform is needed, it can be produced. This uniform will not be an actual production sample. This prototype uniform will be made from inkjet printed (colorfast) 100% cotton twill material.

    Costs average $600 to $1000 for one uniform of this type.

    Advantages:                                        Disadvantages:
    - No screen costs                                    - Choice of fabric limited to 100% cotton twill or ripstop
    - No print minimums                                 - Colors will be a little less saturated
    - Relatively inexpensive                          - High printing costs
    - Quick printing time, (1 or 2 weeks)       - Sewing style limited to what production line already makes
    - Colorfast ink
    - Quick sewing time
    - See uniform in person
    - Good for catalog photos
