Fleece suit ??

[daniel reynolds]

I have a scentblocker protec fleece suit in mossy oak and it is real dark like I feel like a big dark blob in the tree.My question is could I take a little gray  dye and lighten it up some. You guys give me some advice.Thanks

Fleece isn't going to take the dye.
You may have better success using a fabric paint. You can get them at craft stores or large fabric stores like Jo-ann (there is one in Florence).

If you look too dark up in a tree, sit on the ground.       sorry, I'm no help.

I've found that the darker patterns work really well in soft wood trees like big pines and hemlocks as long as you have a multiple trunk situation or really good background cover. They aren't so good in stand alone hardwoods like oak and maple. I also have a leafy suit that I wear over my darker camo when I feel it would be helpful. It also seems to me that after leaf fall in the Fall, staying well camoed gets to be a tougher predicament than the early season.

You could buy a set of Leafy Wear camo leaves and pin/sew them on.  It will help break up the dark look....

get an XL or XXL (or bigger) T shirt and wear it over your other garment.  $20 or so and you can still use what you got and change patterns every day.  Day One and others makes good quality camo T shirts in a number of patterns.

I should qualify this by saying that polyester fleece won't take the dye. If the suit is wool it will dye fine. I suspect the suit is polyester but I'm not sure.
