Here's a pattern called 3D leaf. Don't know how long it's been around. I got it in '95 and like it. It's served me well.

Yep, Bob Fratzke's Winona shadow is tops; especially when you consider it was a soft, quiet, acrylic knit.

Camo Clan was a favorite of mine. Both green and snow camo.

I love the old camo...because it works, and I love garage sales because thats where I find my old camo.
Ive found that the old military pattern works as well as anything, its not fancy or trendy but it works, and thats all im after when it comes to camo.

i'm sold for life on ASAT and Predator.
however, i did score a full set of the old early-80's Treebark (shirt and pants) for only 8 bucks for the set! however, fat boy couldn't fit in them, so i gave them to my best hunting buddy. he was pumped.

We use a more sage color here in Nv, but I still have trebark with colored cutout leaves pinned on. I have mil cammo from my collection that also works in open sage. That Marine WWII cammo is still good

I really loved my Tiger Stripe camo from Viet Nam. I finally wore it completely out a few years ago....actually, a couple decades ago! OK! they may have shrunk a little while hanging in the closet, but, it did the trick! :D Horserod

Anyone have a lead on some of that old WWII camo? All I ever find is noisy water-fowling stuff...

Back in the early 80's, during winter, I'd wear a ragwool hat and brown plaid wool jacket. Some snow would stick to it in a mottled pattern and I could all but dissappear. Plus I'd stay warm.

My hunting partner would cut a poncho type hole in a green Army blanket and just sit down in the snow. He looked like a boulder and the deer walked right by him.

I'm a little surprised I only see one mention of it, back in the day it was Ranger Tiger Stripe. A little bleach in the wash and everything but the black got lighter. It was in my opinion one of the best patterns ever developed. It would not surprise me if one of the "newbies" re-created it.
Regards to all,

Not sure what this camo is called, But it seemed to be the Nam tiger stripe camo turned side ways, Vertically. One of the
best camos I've ever used(the deer seemed to look
past me , as if I were a part of the tree)

I'm definitely a fan of the Viet Nam Tiger Stripe. Horizontal pattern blends in great in the pulp-wood pines that I hunt.
(OK . . I also watched too many episodes of Magnum P.I.)

I still hunt with my Nam Tiger Stripe Camo pants and a Blouse. Best pattern I have ever used. My second favorite was the Kelly Cooper camo that Joe uses. Fits right in with Beech trees and fallen leaves.

I love some of the old patterns. When I lived in NY as a kid I always wore the original tre-bark still have some goods. Same with original real tree. Out here in colorado those patterns don't work too well. And LOTS OF CRITTERS have been killed using the old military or basic camo patterns. Don't be fooled by marketing of scent block this and charcoal infused that.
