I have a pair of tru-spec MARPAT pants, and they're faded, as you all despise, but I just recently bought a new pair of cargo's (granted, they're not MARPAT), but it seems they've changed materials for most of their lineup, and these have been through several cycles, and they're just as crisp and colourful as they were when I bought them.

Just something to consider.

Also, are you sure Dave's doesn't have Propper Marpat? I KNOW they have Propper clothes...
Good to hear Tru-spec upped their QC. Unfortunately, Propper does not sell issue MARPAT BDU's directly to the civilian market, only to the Marines. That's why eBay was suggested here. Different story for ACU as that is supposedly the issued stuff.
