Best Asbell Pullover Pattern?
« on: August 31, 2010, 01:46:00 PM »
Which would you consider the best all around pattern for the early season?  I'm leaning toward the evening stand brown.  Seems to break up the outline well.

If I bought a new one it would have to be the evening stand green, don't want it to be too dark a pattern, don't want to blob out!

I picked one up at Denton Hill, it's gray, black,with maroon and yellow lines in a plaid. I hunt a lot from ground blinds and I think this is going to be good! For me anyway....lol!

I'm seriously thinking of saving a few $$$ to get me one of these & like the Evening Stand Brown or the Evening Stand Green for the blending effect of the areas that I would mostly hunt.

My old Teresa shirt is very similar to the ESB and works GREAT!  The ESB would be my first choice; the ESG and Shadow Plaid would be good, too.

RonW- I pawed through them at Denton but couldn't find a color/size combo I liked.  Gonna hafta have one soon!

Fletcher- those are my top three picks.  Probably will go with the ESG Brown or ESG when it's cool and my ASAT leafy suit when it isn't.

This will be my first year deer hunting with a recurve and I plan to do a lot of still hunting.  Now who makes good lighter weight wool pants that I won't have to take out a loan for. (Filson)  :scared:

This pattern works well in the Hemlock and golden rod that I hunt. I don't think this pattern is still available but any will work just as well.

Scott, I got wool pants in a 2 different weights at an Army/Navy store. They were German army issue and I got them for $8 a pair, the price may have gone up but that's a good place to look!! One pair is gray the other is olive green!

Scott, you can find plenty of wool dress pants at the thrift stores.  They make great early season hunting pants and cost about $3 a pair.

I picked it up at denton a few years ago. It was the only one and a guy tried it on then was putting it back on the rack.As soon as he left I grabbed it ! Got a nice gray and black pattern one with a hood to try out this fall.

I ordered the evening stand brown on sunday. Haven't got it yet but I can't wait. Going up to New Brunswick bear hunting in two weeks and I hope to break it in on a beautiful fall bruin!! I was torn between the brown and green. Maybe if my wife isn't looking I'll get the green for myself at Christmas time.

Guess I'm the only one that likes Skyline plaid? Anyway, ordered it this past Friday and just got it today - fast considering it was a holiday weekend. Very well made and warm and looks great.

Ed Q,

I think Skyline Plaid is a sleeper.  It's an excellent pattern and once it catches on I think it's going to be very popular.

Good choice!  todd

I recieved my evening stand brown on saturday and it looks great!! I hung it out on the line to air out in the sun with the rest of my camo clothes that I just had washed. From about 40 yards it blended with the woods behind my clothes line better than the camo did. Can't wait to get to New Brunswick to try it out on some bears!!
