Thanks! I didn't see that one before I bought this one on Ebay: https://tinyurl.com/l9g45ae" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The color is lighter but its also supposed to be olive. Do you think the actual color will be dark like the Amazon one?

It's the same vendor, military 1st, so my guess is it's the same olive color.

They have 3 left in stock. Best bag IMO.

You could try soaking it in strong tea. Standard operating procedure is to apply it to an inconspicuous place first, as a test. Longer = stronger, of course.
My MkVII bag is now a weird shade of yellow-green, and I'm thinking a tea dye might tone it down.

Was yours the newer green version of the MFH bag or the older browner color? I’m just curious which became yellow.

Looks like MFH is selling the bags on UK eBay again.

Rit also makes a great product I’ve used many times.
