The Grandaddy of the Modern Ghillie Suit- The GhillieFlage
This is the fourth in a series of 6
episodes in which I describe and
discuss the virtues of the more
popular ghillie suits. In this episode
we'll talk about the grandaddy of
modern ghillie suits; The Ghillie
Flage.
This suit like most ghillie suits is
built on a mesh netting, but this one
is the first we've talked about that
is made from jute. Jute is an organic
fiber second in popularity for all
uses, only to cotton. It seemed odd to
me that cotton bales used to be
wrapped in burlap which is made from
jute. Since jute has to be shipped
from India, that is testimony to how
much cheaper burlap is than cotton.
Most people probably are familiar with
burlap in its most common use; the
"toe sack" used for storing and
carrying a variety of goods such as
potatos and other vegetables.
Earlier jute suits were made by
"unweaving" the burlap to get the
thread necessary to tie to the
mesh.These threads in turn had to be
dyed to the desired colors. A
laborious task.
Jute suits are flammable and as such
must be treated with a fire retardant.
The Ghillie Flage comes pre-treated
and with an extra bag of fire
retardant powder. It comes with ample
extra thread for those who wish to
further customize their suit.
When dressing in this suit as with any
mesh lined suit, it is advisable to
cover your hands with plastic bags to
keep your fingers from hanging on the
mesh.
The sleeves have drawstrings and cord
locks to secure them to your wrists.
This suit has a split up each side to
make moving about easy.
This is a great suit for still hunting
or stalking. For those concerned about
such things ,jute is biodegradable. If
you should take it off and abandon it
in the woods somewhere, it won't be
there forever, and
GhilliesandStuff.com will be ready to
sell you another one.
