Heatshock Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 nice one mate soz for later reply - pm returned looks like you are well on your way on the BDU I would suggest dying it at this moment including all the bits of removed pockets, so that you get nice dyed pieces of cloth to make you thigh pouches and the colour mandarin collar!
