Old Camo Patterns
« on: May 08, 2013, 08:02:00 PM »
Especially Mossy Oak Treestand. I would love to have  a couple of pairs of pants in it and the original Bottomland (not the new one). Anybody else like these older patterns?

I like the old WWII pattern. I have a repro set of WWII military camo through a living history site.

I still prefer the military Eastern Woodland pattern, but I also liked the Mossy Oak Bottomland. Another item I liked was a set of the reverseable WWII camo style that was green pattern on one side but turn it inside out and it was brown pattern.

Sam that made me remember the old brown woodland. I liked it too.

Pete,
I'm about an hour down the road from where Treebark had their HQ. They had an outlet store there and I bought a few things there 20 years or so ago.

I had deer & turkey look right through me back in the early 90's I believe it was- with Mossy Oak Full Foilage.

Today's MO Obsession is very similar. Turkey is where it really matters.  For deer, the predator patterns work well.

Love those older patterns picked me up a pair of 6 pocket pants in trebark at savers,the one I liked a lot from the 90s was the original Advantage pattern by realtree it had enough openness to it I be effective, still hard to beat a wool flannel
All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us.

I am going to switch to plaids and straight wool but still have a few camo things. Not any old patterns but my favorite old pattern is TREE BARK that just looked cool

I always thought that Mossy Oak Full foliage was hands down the best early season camo out, until it was gone.

Some of the older original military pattens were pretty good too.

I love the older patterns, many are still better than what's available today. I found this shirt in an Army Navy store in western NY. It blends in great in the Florida woods.

The first photo is the same pattern as Bamboo is wearing but at a distance to show the effectiveness. Thank God Bamboo got Scott and I the same pattern to wear, it is very effective.

 


The next pic is my Kelly Cooper True leaf and Winnona shadow. Great patterns also...

This is a repro of WWII military issue camo.  I got it off of a reenacting website a few years ago.

I think that I've had them all at one time or another, Kelly Trueleafe, the first Mossy Oak and Realtree patterns, ASAT, Hide n Pine, Treebark.  There are a few that I don't know the names of.  I remember in the early/mid 90's there was a snake skin pattern.

I had one that was a cross or knockoff of Realtree and Mossy Oak kinda combined. It worked pretty well. I ended up smothering a fire with it      :(
