I see on here different receipes for the rothco suits for the dark gray, but never for the Tru-Spec suits. A lot of people I suppose are affraid because the Tru-Spec suit is 65% poly and 35% cotton. Well I managed to pull it off, here are some pictures of how it came out.
And in different lighting.
Here is how I did it:
I color stripped a black suit with two boxes of color remover for 1 1/2 hours in the small load in the washer (hot water).
Then in a small load again (about 11 gallons in my washer) I mixed one powdered package of black and one package of royal blue and a cup of salt. (hot water)
I wet down the suit and put it in the wash for about 5-7 minutes.
Then I took it out, rinsed the extra color out in the bath tub, and that is the color I ended up with.
The next day I did wash it in cold water with no soap, and the color didnt change.
The color in the pictures are accurate to the color in real life.
Good luck everyone!!!
