Winona Camo!
« on: February 21, 2014, 06:41:00 PM »
So...I used to wear some Winona camo that my dad had laying around. I LOVE the patterns Fratzke had. Well, I went looking around for some Winona camo thinking it was probably not in production anymore and found  www.theknittree.com.  Anyone interested in Winona camo should check it out. Here's a picture of the 100% merino wool beanie I bought for my dad's birthday (of course, I got one too!). Service was great and shipping was super quick.

when I first looked, I thought it was KUIU Vias pattern.  Man do they look similar.

Yeah I agree! I love Vias and have had great success with it...but, man, Fratzke had it down a long time ago! I was pretty stoked to find a thick, warm hat like this to go with my Vias stuff, actually. 100% merino. Can't beat it for only around $25.

I found them last year and ordered the survivor hat and face mask for the late season.  Wore both from Nov. til Feb. either separate or together depending on how cold it was.  Love the survivor with the reversible blaze camo for walking thru the woods to my stand during the gun season.

Hey East Coast- how is the bill on that survivor hat? It's hard to tell there even is one in the pictures on their website.

Short and soft, perfect for just adding a little bit of sun shade but not interfering with your string.

I have pants, cardi jacket, and floppy hat in colorway E.  Survivor hat and mittens in colorway S, and a ridgerunner hat in colorway H.  I bought my fatherinlaw and 2 brotherinlaws survivor hats.  Every piece is outstanding. I wore the pants almost exclusively this season.  And the floppy hat is probably the best hunting hat I've owned. Sharon is awesome to deal with. Just remember though, everything has it's place. If u hunt where there is a lot of thorns or anything that snags, then don't wear unless u have some gaiters or brush pants.  It is hands down my favorite hunting clothing. Be warned though that it is so comfortable, it feels like your wearing pajamas and you may fall asleep  :)

I will agree with everything Skinnybill said.  Where I hunt rose bushes and stick tites are the norm so it's a no go on their pants otherwise I would have invested in a whole outfit.  For me it's wool during most of the season but the hats and face mask are a great addition.
I had a chance to buy an original outfit (top and bottom) about 17 years ago from a local sporting goods dealer that was going out of business and because of the rose bushes and such I passed.  Wished I had cause when I hunt out of state it would have been nice to do it in pajamas.  They had a whole rack of the stuff in different sizes.  I wonder who lucked out with it   :notworthy:
