I don't think you'll be able to dye them anyway... I have the same filson gear and I think it's too dark to take a dye.   If your adamant, google "RIT DYE" for techniques.

If I were to camo the dark grey (never tried it but...) I'd paint just a couple or three 4" horizontal and vertical stripes using a light grey spray or fabric paint.....Phil

Those ol charcoal greys will do fine.They will just think your lower body is just aburned up old stump.Now making them scent free with a good scent eliminating soap,thats were its at.If you get busted,it will most likely be the movent of arms or head ,even eye balls that will get ya.Good Luck,hope you get a big one.

Maybe just some 3" or 4" diagonal stripes instead    :dunno:   I don't think it matters to the deer but I just always felt like a big dark blob sitting there without some broken pattern....Phil

I am giving up camo completely because I have found it is much like fishing lures, made to catch a lot more fisherman then fish.

What size are your pants? I just happen to have a pair of like new Filson Mackinaw pants in timber camo. Mighty nice pants but might trade for some in similar shape. Mine are 36X 30 I think with a couple more inches that could be let out on the hem
