Title: Wool Longhunter shirt pattern
Post by: Ron LaClair on April 30, 2008, 03:16:00 PM
We've got some new wool that we're going to be using  on the Longhunter shirts. It's between the light weight and heavy weights that we were using. The colors are brown, gray, and slate. It probably won't be available until early fall but I thought I'd give folks a look see and get some feed back. What do you think?

I think that in this front-view photo, you look like Edward Abbey (and the girls loved ole' Ed). Seriously, it's a lovely shirt, but for hunting I'd much prefer plaid, which I've found, in dark colors, to be as effective as camo. The ideal wool hunting shirt for my needs would be button-front all the way down, have a small hood with drawstring, and dark brown/black plaid with lots of pockets ... but that wouldn't fit the tradition you're replicating here. dave

I've got my own opinion about this pattern but I'll hold my comments until you folks have your say.

I had to model the shirt because I'm the only one it would fit.   :D

Hey, Ron, how about making the stripes vertical....would blend in with vegetation better, plus it would be more "slimming".....

I'd order vertical stripes in a heartbeat....

Good looking shirt, but acording to my wife I need vertical stripes for the "slimming effect".  I'll have to ask her what she meant by that.   :confused:

I would like to see a picture of you and the shirt near some trees, I have a hunch that it would blend in pretty good. With the background in the photos you have not much would blend in. An attached hood would be nice   :thumbsup:

Horizontal lines stand out in nature. I like the loror combo though. I'd wear it for cold weather 3Ds and campouts but I think I'd leave the hunting to the plain greay and the brown.

I agree w/ Stone Knife, an integral hood would be nice, and handwarmer pockets....

Is there any way you could order one with a front pocket similar to a hooded sweatshirt so you could keep the hands warm while on stand??????

Vertical stripes and a hood would be great.

I think I'll have them in either vertical or horizontal strips with a separate matching hood/cape available.

Ron, I am a big fan of your original. The new design is awesome! And I like Horizontal also; blends in like fallen logs, flat rocks, backs of animals and other things in nature.    :rolleyes:     :D   I'd buy one.    :thumbsup:

I like the pattern, but a guy my size isn't supposed to wear horizontal stripes.   ;)

I vote for vertical with hand pockets and hood too !

pretty cool ron... any other solid colors coming out in that weight of wool...  :)

I third or fourth the hood and hand pockets, and unless I lose weight between now and deer season, vertical stripes too  :D

Is a buttoned front out of the question ?  I need to "open up" every once in awhile or I get sweating.

Dang Ron, I already have a grey one. Maybe I'll get a hood this year. Mike

Hi Ron,I just used my shirts I got from you for turkey hunting last week, they work great,couple of things I might add would be a hand warmer pocket like on a hooded sweater and some kind of stand up collar,slightly taller in the back and tapering down toward the front,the new one looks good.

Looks like that would fit me perfect......I like it alot....No cold wind running up your back from a short shirt. 3XL Tall here....

Nice shirt the way it is, but I too would like a collar. I like the long tails.

The Hood/Cape option on the Longhunter shirt will give you plenty of protection around the neck and shoulders with the hood worn up or down.

Is there something I can do to my computer to see the pics ? Anytime Mr.Ron posts pictures,all I get are red x's and I know I'm missing out on seeing all of his cool knives and other goodies.

Post by: Tim Fishell on May 01, 2008, 09:03:00 PM
Like Ron said with the hood there is not need for a collar and I think that if it had a collar then put the hood on it would be to bulky around the neck.  These are great shirts.  I love mine and vey warm!!

Now that's nice. I'd like to try one when they are available.
