Building a Ghillie suit

<< < (2/5) > >>

Kegan:
I was looking around at a few tutorials, seems that most use old BDU's. I was intending to use an old shooded sweatshirt, but now I'm wondering if it would be too loose?

Hickoryswitch:
I used an old hunting jacket, boonie hat and old hunting pants. The hat really breaks up your sillohett better than a hood. I used a netting sewn and glued to the articles of clothing then tied my strips to it. It also makes it easier to put foliage from the are into the suit.

recurve shooter:
i have a storebought one so i wouldnt know where to start with makeing one. alot of people say to start with army surpluss pants and jacket cuz theyr cheap and durrable.

Mechslasher:
there is a company callled bushrag.com.  they sell a ghillie net jacket with a hood.  from what i've heard, bdu's and other jackets get uncomfortably hot but the netting helps to keep you cool.  i have about 30 large burlap coffee bean sacks i'm planning to use to build one using the netting this summer.

Kegan:
Well, I'm not really in the mood to buy a BDU jacket... cause I'm that cheap :D. I'm going to jsut take in one of these hooded sweat shirts and then sew the burlap on in layers, and then cut them into "layered fringe". I'll have to wait until the next time we swing by the store, but at least I have an idea of what I'm doing :D
