Ok folks, I'm looking hard at getting some Asbell wool but I can't decide on a color/pattern. So for y'all that are are already blessed with owning some here's your chance...(please don't leave me hanging) post some pics of you in your wool and help me out in my decision. I'm torn between a few in particular like the grey, green, and timber ghost but hope to have an educated opinion after this post. Thanks in advance.
well, one of each never hurt !
:help:

I have a full zip vest with no hood in Timber Ghost. It seems to go with all my camo and blends in well.
I like it and it has been a great layering garment as well as an outer garment when it is only slightly cold.

I have the gray heavyweight pullover and love it!

I have the hooded timber ghost and it is great. Very warm for as light as it wears. My wife stole it from me this winter when her tummy got too big being pregnant with my son :)
Heading to bed now but I can try to take a pic for you tomorrow
I have the timber ghost and another in evening stand brown.
Awesome guys thanks for the help. I really like the one of each idea! Unfortunately I don't think my wife would let me live to enjoy them if I got them all lol.
Evening Stand Brown and Evening Stand Green are the 2 most popular patterns for a reason....they blend everywhere...
Also Grey. Teresa makes a wool Anorak for my site, We offer them in OD Green and Grey. They Grey is turning out to be extremely popular. It disappears in the woods.
I Just got a timber ghost zipper jacket and its great.

Evening Stand Green is a good all around pattern I think. Also, that is what was recomended when my wife got it for my Christmas gift.

ESG will blend anywhere that has vegetation. :thumbsup:
I have Evening Stand Brown which is great and will soon have Timber Ghost also. My choice of the two would probably be TG but it wasn't available when I got my ESB several years ago. You will like whichever you choose...promise!
I bought the zippered jacket at Kalamazoo. I noticed the other day on the shoulder where the sleeves are sewn on you can see a lot of thread showing. Kind of looks like the stitching is not tight enough. Has anyone else noticed this on their wool?

I have never had a return or an issue due to quality. Contact Teresa, she will make it right.
Wow those pics are great! Thanks so much, this is why I asked because I hadn't thought about the evening stand patterns until now!
I have the blanketweight grey anorak and love it...

Get these 3
ESB/ESG

Silent Stalker Green.
You should be covered.
Right after I arrowed a deer at under 10 yards wearing ESB. Burlap backdrop otherwise open from the knees up in front. The deer looked but it didn't register.

I don't remember for sure but think it's called Little Delta plaid maybe? Anyway I think it does pretty good.

I just looked at the Asbell site. Did they discontinue the "Little Delta" color?
I have the evening stand brown and I intend to get more. I think a vest is in order for this fall.
I have the Timber Ghost and ESB. I like them both. I will wear the ESB in the earlier season. And TG later in the season. TG during late season especially from a tree stand is great.

Teresa has just a few vests left in the Little Delta
Tradarcher, don't know where you are in upstate SC but I am in Simpsonville. You are welcome to come check out mine as posted above I have the TG and ESB. Another thing, I didn't think I would like the hoods, but they work really well. I feel they also help hide head movement.
I have the timber ghost in a zip up hooded. Great for layering and very comfortable. Hopefully will order an evening stand brown one one of these days like my dads. Both patterns look and work great
I really like my evening stand green

Evening stand green and silent starker green work well in TX and OK where I do most of my hunting. The heavy weight gray adapts to most any terrain especially in the late season. I am a big fan of the vest. They are great for layering without being cumbersome. When hunting you will usually find me in a "Pendleton" wool **** and one of my Asbell wool vest. Good luck in your quest. You cannot go wrong with Asbell wool. :thumbsup:
I have two one is a green plaid, & I also have the zipper hooded Timber Ghost.
I wear both of them all the time even not hunting. Wearing them downtown they look like a nice wool coat which they are. Hunting is a great use, but not the only use. When it's cool I wear mine all the time, & you don't look like a cammo freak!!!
When my CC Filson vests need replacing, I'm going to try one of their vests too!!!! ;)
Roger,
Is the Little Delta gone forever? I wanted a hooded zip jacket but never pulled the trigger. I guess I should have.
Timber ghost for me as camo
Also nice to wear around Just a plain "fits in all places" color.

Mulie, I'd call Teresa. She just might have some somewhere.

Not necessarily. As awesome of a pattern as it is, it is a fairly slow mover when compared to patterns like Evening Stand Green and Brown. Teresa has the wool run in very large bolts to take advantage of the mills economy of scale. Right now, it just doesn't make sense to run a pattern that will be in stock for quite awhile. She has some material reserved for vests, and I think some premade bow cases and haversacks.
That said....Little Delta plaid is a personal favorite of Fred and Teresa. They had a special friendship with Glenn St Charles, and although we have never discussed it, I am certain that plaid is a quiet homage to him. You will see Little Delta again. Just not this spring....
Roger,
Love the pictures - could you repost ESB,
ESG, and Timber Ghost in black/white - like a deer would see them?
Thanks
I just checked their web & the Little Delta Plaid is listed as a vest. :thumbsup:
They will be at the "KyTradFest " April 4,5,6, come and see what they have and try it on before you buy it
