Hi folks.
Do any of you use military surplus clothing for hunting? I started using it years ago when I got into hunting because it was a) relatively inexpensive and b) came in tall sizes! I bought my stuff off ebay searching for "BDU Woodland Camo" and finding Large/Long or Large X-long pants with Large-long shirts. The X-long pants have a 38.5" inseam which is longer than I need (36) but it's nice to have extra length when seated, knees up, in a turkey lounger. All pants have the ajustable waistband which is nice, too. THe shirt/jacket doesn't tuck in but still is a nice shirt, all of this is rip-stop material.
It is a pretty dark pattern, although the desert tan and other newer patterns are lighter.
I will add that I never served in the military and do not wish to appear as if I have. There are no badges on my clothing such as name or rank, etc. No one has ever commented on it, either, and I rarely wear it in public (such as a restaurant). I apologize. I left out the word "no" earlier in this paragraph and it probably left some scracthing their heads.
Any comments from you folks?
