The greens and browns have faded a lot, and the black looks more like blue than black now. The fabric is still good, but the colours are fucked.

Yea, that blue/green/brown camo looked kinda of odd :P
Honestly I don't know how washing/drying affects them, minus the whole removal of the IR treatment. I had a brand new pair of pant's and after wearing them in the field for a couple weeks they were bleached, so it's kind of wonky.
And if you can get the older gen CADPAT (1st gen?) the ones with buttons on the outside, get that. Personally I hate the new stuff with the button cover flap bullshit.
