The Final Release of the Firefly Collection?
Yep, that’s the official plan. We’ll still do more patches, of course. But the Firefly Collection will now be complete with these final four designs. The “Firefly” designation is determined by a laser-cut nylon upper and a lower made from orange 3M Diamond Grade DG3 Reflective.
Because of these being the last pieces to complete the Firefly puzzle, we wanted these last 4 to be very special. For the first 4 patches in the Firefly Collection, we went all 500D Cordura nylon; an iconic black colorway (P01) and then 3 patterns from the incredible MultiCam®️ camouflage family (P02, P03, and P04). Of course, there’s an entire world of camo patterns out there… from different times in history and from different countries/regions across the globe. We compiled a dream list of our 4 favorite patterns, regardless of their era, location, or difficulty to find them.
Well, that’s easier said than done. You’ll notice it’s been 2 months since our last patch release. That’s because we’ve been busy digitally searching warehouses around the world for NOS (new old stock) rolls or scrap yardage of these rare fabric patterns that have been hiding away or that time has forgotten. Thanks to some great friends and a whole lot of digging, we were able to find some of these tucked away. Special shoutout to a great friend of Carryology, Spencer McDonald, who secured us some genuine Auscam (his own!) from Australia. Long story short, as simple as this may seem… this was no small task.
P08 Firefly DPCU Auscam
DPCU Auscam (or “jellybean camo” or “hearts and bunnies”) is a special one for us. Auscam is short for “Australian camouflage” as it’s used by, you guessed it… Australian Defence Force. Carryology was founded in Australia, after all. Think, if M81 is the iconic camo pattern for the US, this is the Australian equivalent. The Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform was developed in the 1970s and has since been replaced by the modern MultiCam pattern, leaving this one longingly loved and remembered.
