Being a traditional site I thought I'd show off some traditional camo. I couldn't tell you how many years I've had these insulated overalls but I sure love the classic pattern. It's old school but it still works as well as any pattern out there. Sure is hard to find now days though.

Funny you should mention it...
I was just on an NYC subway next to a guy in a BRAND NEW Tre-Bark jacket. Wool.
Wished I’d had enough cash to make him an offer for it

I have some like that, a jacket and a vest. It's cool how good it works for the pattern.

I had that pattern on a suite when I was a little guy. Outgrew it... but I do like that pattern. It is not too dark.

Hard to believe at one time that was just about the only camo available. At least the most popular. I can't even count the patterns and manufacturers available today.

I had an uninsulated coverall in that pattern when I first started bowhunting just about 40 years ago. I've been looking for a bolt of that fabric off and on for close to 6 months and just cannot find one to save my life!

That is my favorite camo pattern. I had a shirt and pants in that pattern back in the early 1970s.

One's old school isn't necessarily anothers. To me, old school is either WWII, or Vietnam military patterns...or early Treebark and Tiger Stripe. Here's a link to a lot of it for sale: https://www.ebay.com/sch/Sporting-Goods/888/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=vintage+camouflage&rt=nc

I think that old camo is the best ever made. Most of the new stuff is far too dark in my opinion.

WW11 Impressions.com They make the stuff to mil specs. Just expensive as heck. They supply Hollywood and re-enactment folks, Army, Navy, USMC. what I wanted is the USMC reversible camo pattern. Just a little pricey for me to wear around.

I came across an interesting tidbit today about the WWII camo style posted above. The camo known as WWII camo was designed for the military by Norvell Gillespie. He was the Garden Editor for Better Homes and Gardens. If I read it on the internet, it HAS to be true.

When I first started bow hunting, A department store sold a cheap cotton jump suit in that old WW2 pattern. After my first hunt, it was so ripped up I had to scrap it.

Back in 1964 you could buy the WW II at the Army and Navy store. $4.98 for tops and bottoms. Bought 2 sets. Wish I had bought 10. Other than 55 years later have to get a Big Shoe Horn To stuff in my Big Old Body.

Love that old trebark. Funny, I type trebark and my tablet wants to correct to grenade. Where's the political correctness when I actually need it!

That USMC cammo was herringbone. Harder than old people’s toenails. I have an olive jacket but no cammo. I was stationed in Adak, AK about 35 years ago. The CB’s had old gear for their M16’ so we ordered new stuff and cleaned out their bunker, gave away a lot, but put a ton of old packs and ponchos and Garand cartridge belts in the dump. Painful to do that I have treebark everything from my time in VA , NC and forays in PA. Out here eastern cammo is too dark, so we go with tan colored stuff
All said, that ols stuff is still good
