    Fieldcraft New Ghillie order, thoughts?

    I had to put my suit in storage for a while. When I get back to it, I will complete it by putting burlap on the trousers.

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? Everything I learned about putting my suit together, I learned from this site. I just finished the boot stirrups. Haven't taken photos of them yet either, but I'm using standard fastex buckles for adjustments. And my leg holster broke at the large buckle...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? I believe the coat is done. As you can see, I did not dye the burlap strips. Action shot:

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? Since I'm new here, I'll just say to you Chance, very good work. I forgot to add my map pocket, but seeing how mine is for airsoft, I didn't feel too bad about it. I will say adding the burlap to just the back of the coat, every other square, is very tedious...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? I did add some more to the left side, but I had to take time to take apart another sandbag for it.

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? Rogue: I am shredding the burlap for my ghillie so I can use as much of the material as possible with little waste. I have not spent a penny on the burlap thus far. I did remove half of the burlap from the back of my hat and was able to cover more than three...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? Mr. Tanner, Thanks so much for the response. I figured I'd have to go back over the back of the hat and take some burlap out. I found more used sandbags yesterday and think I have enough to complete my suit. When it comes to all the squares, I can take some...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? Shay: thanks for the heads up. I was/am trying to replicate this. https://bushrag.com/Ghillies/Ultra-Light/Jackets/Ultra-Light-Ghillie-Jacket It is a little late for me to take all that netting off. I want to try it out and then I'll tell you how it works for...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? First: sorry for the lay out of the photos/images. I don't know why it is spread out like that. Secondly: I have not been keeping count on the hours, but I do have to spread the time out because I have a wife and kids, it has been a couple of months, but now...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? The almost completed top: I dissected a butt pack from the old web system and am using the fabric...I think it is a cordura style material, for the elbow covers. I am also copying the acu pattern elbow pad pockets for the elbows. I have velcro closures for...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? Chance Tanner: Thanks. I have more photos. I was just way too tired to add them. Army TA-50 (CTA 50-900.....ie 'Common Table of Allowances') suspenders for the web system. I found this one at an Army Surplus store for cheap because it did not have the hooks...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? Thanks for the advice. It makes sense to add stirrups for the legs after you say why. Another thing I noticed. The E6000 is holding the 550 cord gut to my bdu coat base, but not as well as I would like. I feel I will have to sew the gut to the base as well...

    Re: New Ghillie order, thoughts? I'm just glad I came across this site. I'm new into starting making my own ghillie and are very appreciative of the members adding photos of their work. It helps give me ideas and the reasons for the techniques used, eg; zippers, velcro (hook and pile)...
