So I have made a ghillie top in the past and put countless hours into it. Sadly im not 100% happy with how it turned out. When I started making it, I wasn't really sure how my play style was. Now slowing learning this, I realize that i don't want a full ghille. I only want the brush on the back of my jacket.
So now going through the process again I am trying to save time and frustration by making it exactly what I want this time. I dont want to skimp out on the materials like I did last time (Got a jacket from salvation army that wasnt the best platform but was still cheap). I also used netting that was a thick black wider netting. 2 inches apart i believe. My coloring was off with the burlap also. So i want this one to be perfect.
I am looking to have one that is a brownish color but not desert. More of a fall ghillie. If i use it outside of fall i just plan on using alot of vegetation to counter the browns. I'd like to make a 2 piece ghillie with the back of the pants and jacket being the only places covered with burlap. Id also make my own hood for the outfit.
1. What is the best camo to base a ghille off of? (I was thinking about acu with a little bit of brown die to make it less green/ grey looking. Or just getting it really dirty haha
2. Where is the best place to get a ghillie kit with said colors in it and a good size/quality netting? ( i stripped my own burlap last time and it was a pain in the @$$. I want to avoid that if possible this time)
3. What is the best size netting to use in your opinion? What has worked best for you guys?
Lastly, if you have any tips or comments that may further my knowledge of the ghillie please feel free to help me out.
Thanks!
