Long before all the synthetic hunting gear everybody wore surplus “wooly” pants with all the pockets, buttons, etc.
I bought a pair I still have in an old-time Army store in Billings, Montana for $10 in the 80s...now a facsimile pair in any sporting goods store will run you over $100.
Man, those synthetics are lightweight though....
I've bought my hunting cloths at Walmart for over 25 years now. I find the game don't care what pattern or brand of camo I wear. And I'm too old now to hunt in weather where the synthetic stuff is required to stay out all day. If I can't slap my rain gear over it and be comfortable I'll head back to the cabin.
I'll be plowing snow today in coveralls over thermals and my fox pelt mountain man hat. And having elk for lunch. Life in Montana is great!
Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year, FRiend.
