CAMO RESOURCES

Camopedia.org
Pattern-by-pattern encyclopedia of national camouflage designs, with issue dates, variants, and users.

Uniform History Channel
Long-form video breakdowns of military uniform history, construction, and issue changes.

CAMOUFLAGE AND MILITARY KNOWLEDGE ARCHIVES

Disruptive Pattern Material: An Encyclopedia of Camouflage
Hardy Blechman’s 944-page survey in three parts — nature, military, culture — illustrated with over 5,000 images and seven years of pattern research.

ePig Group
German-language tactical gear blog and shop; equipment reviews, preparedness series, and show coverage.

International Military Antiques
Original militaria for sale, from 17th-century muskets to WWII field gear; the photographed listings double as a dating and identification reference.

Kommandopost
Militaria archive documenting uniforms and camouflage from WWI onward, with colour data, blueprints, and pattern testing.

Abbott Thayer and the Art of Camouflage Documentary
The painter who worked out countershading in animals — the argument his son Gerald set down as Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom in 1909 — and who pushed it at the Admiralty through John Graham Kerr.

Military Wiki Fandom
Crowdsourced and uneven, but it fills gaps the specialist archives leave — unit histories, equipment stubs, and pattern pages worth chasing back to their sources.

Camouflage Postings
A camouflage pattern page on Facebook that went quiet; kept on the list in case it returns.

RISD Dazzle Print Collection
455 scanned WWI dazzle lithograph plans, port and starboard, from the Fleet Library’s Freedman gift.

The Camo Side of Dominic Hyde
A camouflage designer’s working notebook, 2008–2016: pattern trials, side-by-side comparisons, and a glossary of camouflage terms that is still the cleanest vocabulary reference online.

CONCEALMENT TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS

Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp.
Guy Cramer’s patent-heavy camouflage house — fractal pattern families issued on millions of uniforms, plus the Quantum Stealth light-bending work.

Crye Precision
The house that drew MultiCam, selling it on its own uniforms, plate carriers and headborne systems — the clearest place to see how one pattern is cut and fitted across a whole equipment line.

Realtree Camo Patterns
Bill Jordan's pattern house, begun in 1986 from a hand-drawn oak trunk with twigs and leaves layered over it and now licensed to some two thousand makers; the index gives every current pattern with the terrain and quarry it was drawn for, plus a legacy archive back to Original.

ADS Inc.
A procurement house rather than a maker: several thousand manufacturers routed to government buyers, useful mainly as a map of who actually supplies what.

TenCate Advanced Armour
Ballistic plates and vehicle composite armour, not camouflage — and the company is now Integris Composites; this domain has lapsed to a parking page. Kept for the record.

CamoLab, University of Bristol
Where much of the current camouflage science is actually produced: felid coat pattern mapped against habitat, optimal concealment colour under dichromatic vision, and machine-versus-human assessment of how well a pattern hides.
