Re: New Ghillie, please critique it Sorry it's been so long, I was on vacation. So, I've finished the hat, added pads, cut down on jute, and added hand covers. The hand covers have two finger loops made of paracord that keep the jute centered over the hand and covered. Pics:

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it Ok, update, cut down a bunch on the jute, glued down the canvas securely, and now down a mudbath. Also, I've added in around 60 veg loops. Pics coming soon.

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it Haha, yeah, I figure if it falls off I'll re-sew it with a machine.

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it I'll cut more of the jute today, and cover the threads. Also, I'm pretty sure the stitching will hold, I mean the canvas has e6000 all over it, and even when I tried to tear off the canvas in order to test its integrity, it held. I don't have access to a...

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it Thanks all, I've taken all your guys' advice and I have shortened the strands of jute, taken out jute, and am going to buy hair ties today. Also, I've reinforced the crotch with canvas, and finished up one of the pant legs. Oh, and I'm going to spray paint...

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it When you buy the elastic ties do you usually cut them and use them like 550 cord, or do you use them as loops? Thanks for the help man, I hope to get some pics of the suit vegged up tomorrow.

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it Ok, update time, I've so far removed some jute and burlap from the back of the blouse, added jute to the shoulders, spray painted the canvas, added 550 cord strands for veg loops, and added thumb loops. Tonight I'll reinforce the crotch, and take out more...

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it First of all, thanks for taking the time to help me improve this suit. I'll add jute to the front tonight. For vents I have one in the back and one on the hat, but none under the arms because I ran out of material. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy...

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it Ok, will do. Oh yeah, for thumb loops, will elastic work?

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it You mean add green and brown to the canvas? Yeah, I've done two mudbaths so far, from the pics would you say I give it another one?

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it I wouldn't call it very light, but it's certainly not dark. Would you suggest spray painting it OD Green?

Re: New Ghillie, please critique it That's the camera again, it's actually tan, in person.

Just made my new ghillie suit, the suit is based off of a set of BDUs, with fishing net sewn and shoe-goo'd on. The suit is composed of natural jute, stalkgrass/raffia, and some green and brown jute. The front has duck canvas e6000'd onto it, and covers the front of the blouse, and front of the...

Re: Ghillie Critique (56k beware) I'll take out some of the jute, it does feel a bit excessive when wearing it. I'll also use natural burlap on the pants and shoulders.

Re: Ghillie Critique (56k beware) Well it seems like the wash took out a lot of the extra jute. Here's some pics of it pretty much dry. Also, I think I'm going to take your suggestions and just take out the jute that's too dark and then replace it with natural jute.

Re: Ghillie Critique (56k beware) I wouldn't just put it on top of the green, I'd take some green out first and then replace it with tan. At the moment I don't really have a hard time putting veg in, I have probably around 30 pieces of paracord in the suit, I just didn't put much veg in for...

Re: Ghillie Critique (56k beware) Do you think that I should do that after it finishes drying?

Re: Ghillie Critique (56k beware) I'm pretty sure this is a good texture, what do you guys think?

Re: Ghillie Critique (56k beware) Wow... Just jumped in that marsh, rolled around the muddy, bird shit filled, banks, had my buddy drag me through a bunch of prickly grass, and then dragged the suit through a patch of gravel. I'll get some pictures up later. Is there anything special I...
