We might have to work that out....then i can get your videos back to you, haha [/b]
No problem!  Let me know when, and I'll bring the pullover.  One thing I noticed about it, though, is that it looks a bit darker in person than in the picture on Asbell's site.  But I reckon you can take a picture of it in person and then switch it to black and white to get a better assessment of its effectiveness.

Great pix Chromebuck & BudB! Works for me. One problem here is mandatory hunter orange on the torso & head. But, can't deny the value of shadow wool. I'd wear it to church.

Another Asbell pattern that I really like, but that doesn't seem to get much attention is their "Highlander Plaid #6."

Here it is in color:

     

And in b & w:

       

Personally, color is less important to me than a pattern with large, blocky contrast. Some of the more intricate plaid patterns certainly look "classy" but when seen from a distance, don't do as much to break up the human profile, imo.

I agree 100 percent with that.

Nice. Looking forward to picking up one of those handwarmers at some point.

Do you know what the plaid pattern in the middle is called?

I went stumpin again today and took another photo.

I stood in partial shadow to show the difference of the light and shadow and the effect it has on the eyes (shadow plaid vs. orange vs. blue jeans). When bow season is in and orange is not required the shadow plaid is a good choice.

The question has already been asked, but I'll ask it again. When will the Asbell hand muffs be available? I've looked on their website, but don't see them.

Received ny Silent Stalker Green pullover from Teresa at KaZoo. Wore it today while scouting our deer woods. Perfect comfort, and hard to beleive here it is February and able to hike our woods here in Michigan. This is my 2nd hooded pullover from Teresa and my third pullover altogether from her. They just keep getting better!

I have to agree with you.I have bought several items from Teresa (including another pullover and sherpa vest at Kalamazoo)and I would have to say the selection just keeps getting better and better.I wanted to get a jacket with a zipper instead of it being a pullover and actually had one looking at it when I first entered the Kalamazoo show Friday night.Stupid me laid it down and made a circle thru the rest of the show before coming back to get it.Needless to say when I came back she had sold out of all the ones with the zipper in the size and pattern I wanted.I wont let that happen again and I settled for another hooded pullover.I could also tell a noticeable difference in the amount of wool clothing she had for sell on Saturday  morning as opposed to Friday night.The racks were noticeably less crowded as lots of stuff was gone.Its good stuff and Fred and Teresa are great folks.
