Why CAMO HQ Items May Not Match Other Brands

Last updated on Jul 23, 2025

CAMO HQ offers one of the most diverse collections of camouflage patterns available anywhere. Every design is carefully chosen or recreated based on historical references, field-use inspiration, or original artistic direction. That said, we understand how important consistency is—and you may notice differences when comparing our products to other items you already own.


🎨 Why Color and Scale May Differ

If your item does not color match or appears scaled differently than another piece of camo gear you have, please know this is normal. Here’s why:

  • Different manufacturers use different fabrics, inks, and printing methods

  • Dye lots and print settings vary, even between runs from the same supplier

  • Our apparel is printed using modern all-over print (AOP) sublimation, which can result in lighter tones and softer contrast than screen-printed or dyed military fabrics.

  • Pattern scaling may be adjusted to suit the product type (e.g., hoodies vs. caps vs. tees) to ensure best appearance and alignment.

🔍 Even original military camo patterns often varied in shade, tone, and layout across production runs and countries of origin.


🚫 Returns Not Accepted for Color/Scale Differences

Because all CAMO HQ products are made to order, we do not accept returns for:

  • Differences in color tone, saturation, or brightness

  • Variations in pattern scale or layout

  • Mismatches with gear purchased from another source or manufacturer


What You Can Expect from CAMO HQ

  • High-resolution patterns recreated with historical care and digital precision

  • Professionally made apparel using print-on-demand technology

  • Detailed product descriptions to help you understand material, fit, and appearance

  • A commitment to transparency—we state when items are printed using sublimation and when mockups may appear slightly darker or more saturated than final products
