So it is quasi-real Crye Multicam, hence the price. Don't know how much difference the fabric itself makes, but there must be some.

Yes as I first stated, the Propper stuff is the 65/35 polyester/cotton ripstop mix as opposed to 50/50 nylon/cotton ripstop. (Note, that sounded crankier than I meant it to.) The 50/50 nylon/cotton ripstop mix will be stronger but don't think it matters that much for us. Also just the change in fabric won't affect the cost that much as the 50/50 nylon/cotton mix ACU that propper sells is only a bit more than there 65/35 polyester/cotton ripstop ACU. I still think that cyre is just pricing it that much because they can.
Edit, crap, people getting in replies while I type. Anyway, actual combat ACU is also in that 50/50 nylon/cotton ripstop mix, but most knock off bdus seem to use the 65/35 polyester/cotton ripstop mix.
