Crye Precision
Crye Precision is an American apparel and accessories company based in New York City. They are a major manufacturer of Berry Amendment compliant items for the US military. Crye created the common camouflage pattern MultiCam in 2002.
Crye Precision was founded in New York City in 1999 by Caleb Crye and Gregg Thompson, both graduates of Cooper Union. Its original office/production studio was in Chelsea Market. They expanded rapidly following 9/11 and the passage of the Berry Amendment which required the Department of Defense to give purchasing preference to apparel and accessories made in America from American components.
First unveiled in 2002, MultiCam was designed for the use of the U.S. Army in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. It is a seven-color, multi-environment camouflage pattern developed by Crye Precision in conjunction with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center.
The pattern was included in the U.S. Army's move to replace the 3-Color Desert and Woodland patterns, but in 2004 the U.S. Army chose the Universal Camouflage Pattern that came to be used in the Army Combat Uniform. Nonetheless, it remained in limited use by the U.S. Army special forces in the mid-to-late 2000s in Iraq and Afghanistan. MultiCam was also continually trialed for its "Future Force Warrior" program demonstrations.
MultiCam was officially re-commissioned by the U.S. Army in 2010, replacing UCP for units deploying to fight in the War in Afghanistan, under the designation "Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern0 (OEF-CP). It had already been used by some American special operations units and civilian law enforcement agencies. On 25 November 2013, Crye Precision unveiled a family of MultiCam variants, which they claim can reduce the visual and near-IR signature of a person operating in different environments.
In 2013 the company had 150 employees spread over 56,000 square feet in New York and New Jersey.
The U.S. Army discontinued the use of UCP in October 2019.
In 2020 Crye was awarded a contract to produce a new family of uniforms for the British Royal Marines.
