So I could only find the size I am considering in this color called "Highland Plaid" and just curious if anyone has a picture of themselves wearing that color pattern. I don't need to see other colors cause I seen most of them but would like to see this color out in nature and what you think about it if you have it.
I can't tell if it's got a dark blue or black in the pattern but maybe someone can tell me?
Thanks in advance.

You’ll have to model it Keefer’s.

That one is just the pullover .
I really like the Kangaroo pouch option with a 1/2 zipper but need a 3 xxxl due to a wife that cooks really well.
Poor Mrs. Asbell will probably run out of that wool pattern trying to make one to fit this frame

This is me waiting for all the "I've killed deer wearing blue jeans" testimonials to come out... :archer2:

Only problem it doesn't show a 3 XL but I'm sort of liking that pattern cause I mainly stay on the ground and use root balls or natural blind set ups when available .
I believe its called the "Woodland Ghost" pattern?
It's been just listed yesterday in the New Items section on their web page.

I used to have evening brown.
Great hunting hoodies. I live the big warn kangaroo pouch.
I like that new pattern as well. I might need to buy me an early Christmas present.

I also texted back to see what she had in my size with some green plaid in a Pathfinder and she said she would look and get back to me but haven't heard anything back on that yet?
I may just have to use my original and lose a few pounds for now which isn't a problem.

Try ordering that Woodland Ghost online. I could be mistaken but I think it IS in stock.

Did your brother get the New pattern called Woodland Ghost? in 3xl?
When I text Teressa last week she replied in a matter of minutes she didn't have that material until spring of next year?
Maybe she only made them up to x Large with what material she had but I need a 3 xl and asked if she had anything with some green plaid mix.
Still waiting to hear back from her to see what she has.
I did get my old pullover on but what a job . My buddy keeps asking for it but as long as I can squeeze in it I will hunt with it on. Kind of looks like a :biglaugh: sweater on an elephant but hey I love the way it blends in with my surroundings .

Well after asking about the New pathfinder and the only pattern that was in stock my 3xxxl size I decided to just get the pattern mentioned and saved 20% through a special email from Teressa last week . I got the one I asked about for $128.05 after the discount etc. It came in already so I will have it under the tree on Christmas morning.
I hurried out in my shop and opened the sealed bag it came in and at first I too didn't care for the Blue that was in it but after putting it on and how much easier it was getting on without a fight I looked in the mirror and there is so much other drab colors like dark olive and dark golds I really don't think a deer will detect that Blue. I went and took a picture and played around with the black and white options on my i pod photo thing and actually all the different options and it does not stand out .
I think as some mentioned that deer see blue has more of what material is being used and if one is wearing a solid color and what detergents are being used not to forget movement.
I pretty much stay on the ground and most times behind a root ball with lots of down tree branches as back cover and stay seated in a huntmore 360 chair.
I think I will absolutely love this color and the new kangaroo pouch Teressa added a few years ago with the cell phone or camera pocket.
Great thinking Mrs. Asbell and If you are reading this I thank you for your quick shipment on this and the email I got for the 20% off last week.
Mitch I'll pose with it on sometime After Christmas but this one fits me "Perfect" and makes me look a little thinner lol.
Now I'm not a deer but checked out all I could on that "deer see blue differently then we do" well I am not a deer or doubt the science or study's of it and not going into a debate about it . I will do my own study myself and see how they react to it but as far as I am concerned I actually like it not just for hunting but when just stumping or hanging around the camp with friends as well.
Plus I got a Super Deal on it from Mrs. Asbell ....Merry Christmas and Thank you Mrs. T once again...
Keefer's <')))><

The jacket you see in Black and white is the one with some blue in it.
If someone here knows exactly what a deer see's (not heard or read) but has good sound knowledge and can take that same original color of the Pathfinder in my opening post could you show me here how it would look to a deer please?
I just remember when I first started hunting I wore blue jeans and had deer walk by me undetected and on some hunts had the safety orange on.
I am not saying they don't see it differently but I want to know exactly from "Facts" of what this pattern would look like in deer vision .
I too as said before like olive drabs and shades of browns like my Evening stand green Asbell pullover in this picture but I chose a color they had in stock and it has a few blocks of blue. Navy dark blue to be exact. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Thanks and I agree that keeping still as possible is key as well as playing the wind right. I’m not doubting that a deer will see a color different this us humans but this is also a wool fabric compared to a fabric with lots of sheen and the UV factor I would think will look different on wool then say cotton or polyester .
I notice my Asbell and Swanndri wool clothing have a much more dullness look to them and having the different color patterns that also help in blocking or appearing as a solid blob in the woods .
If by chance the “Good Lord” blesses me with another deer on the ground as He has with several then I’ll post pictures of that pathfinder with the blue in it.
And if I get busted a lot I’ll post that too. :archer:
