When it comes to ties, I'm not so sure if it is worth it to wear one with the more "tactical" shirts (due to their appearance and the possibility of having collars that are larger or thicker than that of regular shirts).

Military/paramilitary/tactical combat clothing & camouflage substitutes for countries that ban camouflage clothing. Plus 100% cotton combat fatigues (especially for Christians).
Awhile ago, I've found out that in places such as Antigua, Barbados, Jamaica, Saudi Arabia, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, the civilian possession of camouflage is restricted in one way or another.
As a spin-off to my articles
Most recommended civilian-legal airguns & modern lightly to unregulated antique replicas from around the world, along with crossbows & compound bows,
My most recommended civilian-legal guns & ammunition around the world, and
My most recommended civilian-legal rifles & shotguns for American Samoa, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, California, Connecticut, plus airguns for Illinois & Delaware,
I'm writing this for people who are stuck in places like those mentioned before.
However, I'm not putting all "tactical" style clothes that can be found and had here. I'm mainly looking at high-end brands that do NOT contain polyester.
It's okay to use polyester containing clothing if you're just in a sport or, to a limited extent, private security and law enforcement use. But, if lit on fire or exposed to exessive heat, polyester can melt, fuse to one's skin, and seriously affect their quality of life.
Top recommended brands (with clothing that is available in coyote brown/tan and other colors):
Enhanced Combat Performance - NFM Group
ClawGear
Beyond Clothing
Crye precision (highly recommended, especially with using khaki in a desert environment):
G3 Combat Shirt™
G3 All Weather Combat Pant
G3 Field Shirt™
TruSpec (for the more budget-oriented):
TRU Xtreme® (Olive-Drab green only)
Men's Ascent Shorts
BDU shorts
Headgear:
Helikon-Tex boonie hat (most reccomended)
Propper 100% cotton boonie hat (in khaki)
Propper BDU patrol cap (in khaki)
TruSpec:
Gen-II Adjustable Boonie Hat
Contractor's Boonies
Adjustable Ball Cap
Contractor's Caps
Other:
5.11 Stryke™ Shorts
Flame resistant combat fatigues:
FirstSpear Asset
DriFire product line (especially for t-shirts and flight suits)
TruSpec XFire Line
ArmyNavy combat shirts
ArmyNavy gloves
As for body armor and other accessories that are going to be used in places with multiple terrain colors, I would recommend going for brown, since it is the best single color for use in multiple environments;

For children:
I also recommend looking into having camouflage stencils and spray-on paint/dyes on hand in case you and/or any of your allies wish to make your own camouflage clothes. However, be careful, as that you may get into trouble for making camouflaged clothing.

DISCLAIMER:
I am NOT responsible for what anyone does after they read this article, and decide to wear clothing articles like those described here while being involved in illegal, unethical and/or questionable activities.
For those of you who identify as Christian, you may think about the Bible verse that says that one shouldn't wear clothing made out of different materials. So, if you consider yourself to be serious about following the Bible, here are some options for combat fatigues that should be compliant with that rule;
Leo Kohler clothing Propper BDU Coat
TruSpec BDU
Rothco M-65 Field Jacket
Propper Cotton Boonie hat
Propper BDU Patrol Cap
Propper 6-Panel Cap with Loop

Why I recommended the guns that I did for my "The most recommended civilian-legal guns" article, plus a note on using .22-250 Remington for self-defense or security-patrol round.
This doesn't cover every gun, but at least the major ones that were mentioned here.
Semi-automatic shotguns:
Benelli Super Black Eagle 2: it's just designed well with an inertia driven system that doesn't use a gas system, so it don't have a gas tube that needs to be cleaned out. It also takes strong magnum loads.
Benelli M4: it's reliable enough to pass U.S. Marine corps trials, and has an adjustable stock, a feature not found on most tube fed shotguns.
Fostech Origin 12: it's a semi-automatic shotgun that takes detachable magazines, enabling fast reloads. But I reccomend getting shotguns fed by fixed tubular magazines beforehand becuase of how hard it would be to find the magazines for the Origin 12.
Winchester Super X3: can have its magazine capacity extended up to 11 rounds.
Manual action shotguns:
Benelli Supernova: it's a pump action shotgun with a solid mechanism and can take magnum length shells.
KelTec KSG: it's a pump-action shotgun in bullpup configuration. It is very compact, but holds 12 to 14 rounds of ammunition, depending on the length of shells it's loaded with.
Mossberg 500: it's an easily customizable pump-action shotgun that can be installed with a metal trigger group and a variant, the 590/590A1 is used by the U.S. military. Similar goes for the Remington 870.
Paradus LAX 12: it's a lever-action shotgun that can hold up to 5 rounds in the magazine, plus one in the chamber and another one on the loader. It's Category A in Australia.
Manual-action and pseudo semi-automatic rifles:
Barrett Model 95 and Desert Tech HTI: both can fire .50 BMG and are magazine fed bullpups, with the former also being able to take smaller rounds.
Southern Gun Company .223 lever release rifle, and
VZ-58 MARS; they can simply be quickly fired.
Henry Octagon: it's pump action and can feed loose rounds without a proprietary magazine, instead using a tubular style.
Browning T-bolt: it's magazine fed and quick to fire.
Ruger American Rimfire: can use high-capacity 10/22 magazines.
Non-restricted carbines (Henry Mare's leg, BRS-99, Chiappa 1887 T-series):
all of these would work great as non-restricted pistol substitutes. I think it's possible to get a holster for the Henry Mare's leg (which can serve as a great backup hunting gun), and I can imagine a custom or 3D printed specialised holster for the BRS-99.
Note about .22-250 Remington:
AE22250G has more range, but the P22250G is more powerful;
So, I reccomend AE22250G for most uses. But if your target(s) get close and you need more stopping power than range (especially with hunting), switch to P22250G.
Remember that .22-250 Remington is originally developed as a civilian hunting round, and P22250G was developed more for shooting medium sized game while AE22250G was developed as a varminting and target round. So just keep in mind that you're essentially taking a hunting and sporting round with hunting loads and pressing it into either a self defense or, much less likely, paramilitary (ie prepper group, maybe security-patrol) purpose.

(These images & figures do NOT belong to me. They rightfully belong to Federal Ammunition.)
Remember that .22-250 Remington is originally developed as a civilian hunting round, and P22250G was developed more for shooting medium sized game while AE22250G was developed as a varminting and target round. So just keep in mind that you're essentially taking a hunting and sporting round with hunting loads and pressing it into either a self defense or, much less likely, paramilitary (ie prepper group, maybe security-patrol) purpose.
