Home made Camo

Looks good, but I think the pants work better than the shirt.

I was surprised not to see you in shorts.  If that were the case, you'd have to paint your legs.   
You have a keen sense of "do-it-yourself".  Always enjoy your creativity.

You could wash the shirt in a product called "camo restore" to darken it. I used camo restore to bring my old faded Brigade Quartermasters ASAT back to the original colors.

That said, camo is vastly over rated, you don't really need the stuff. I hunt some of the spookiest deer on the planet and only wear shades of grey and brown, no camo. The deer don't pick me out any more than when I was a camo devotee.

After 40 years of wearing camo, I literally felt naked going into the deer woods without it but was determined to break free of the camo clan. It didn't seem right for me to hunt with my 30s and 40s style archery equipment and wear the latest high tech camo clothes. Sorta' like putting a scope on a flintlock rifle. I had to have the right persona to match the equipment.

Camo in my opinion is a sales ploy. Deer supposedly have a better sense of smell than dogs. Keeping down wind is a bigger task than looking like a bush.

It looks nice. Hopefully it is also comfortable.

True camo isn't needed, but it will help hide that slight movement they do pick up on.

I just wanted something to help break up my short round outline.

Man that looks good, I also like the ASAT camo pattern and you done a nice job matching it, one question ? What you going to do with that big shinny head.

I always wear a full head mask Pappy.

Thats really cool bud! Never thought about that before. But I do have some old clothes I could try that with! Patrick

[caveman2533]

yeah you should be able to mix up a bucket of dye and dip the whole shirt in it.  should darken it up without loosing the pattern.

[Pappy]

Personally I think it looks good like it is, especially in a tree, always some light sky behind you.
That matches very good I think.

I bet some walnut hulls ground up in water would turn that shirt just the right color to match the pants.

[osage outlaw]

I was thinking the same thing eric.  I made some walnut cover scent a couple of years ago.  It darkened my clothes a little.  Might have to give it a try

That or just a tea bath...
