Supporters Lozart Posted September 30, 2016 Supporters Share Posted September 30, 2016 I've decided I want a ghillie hood kind of like the cobra style that covers just the head, shoulders and upper arms. Material wise though I'm looking to recreate the Camosystems Jackal-style suits with a mix of synthetic strips and camo net. Thing is, while I can find a cheap source of the base Cobra Hood, I can't seem to find anywhere that sells the strips of camo material. Anyone got any ideas? http://camosystems.com/products/ghillies (the Killer Kamo is what I'm looking to do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Lozart Posted September 30, 2016 Author Supporters Share Posted September 30, 2016 I meant put material through a paper shredder And you knew it I'm cheeky, me. Except my decent shredder is cross cut and my old shredder would either jam up or not cut material properly. I know where you're coming from though.

Supporters Samurai Posted October 3, 2016 Supporters Share Posted October 3, 2016 You knew there would be someone suggesting scissors. Scissors. Apart from that I don't believe anymore in bulky ghillie. I had one similar, just the hat and shoulders but it always got caught in the branches. Leaf suit with some added extra bits is much better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl_liverpool Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Craft knife and cut 89-90% of the width of the fabric in straps. Will leave u with a Base strip for attaching. Sort of the way women's hair extensions are done. And u can layer them to create a bush like effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted October 3, 2016 Author Supporters Share Posted October 3, 2016 OK, so we all have an idea on making strips of material......but where can I get the material? Remember - we're not talking about standard ghillie thread and raffia/jute here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundel91 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 For cammo strips try and find some cheap surplus clothing with the pattern you desire, then just cut it up into strips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted October 4, 2016 Author Supporters Share Posted October 4, 2016 OK, I'm thinking you've not quite grasped what a jackal suit looks like..... The strands are of various colours, but one colour each, not a camo pattern. Nor are they a woven material but a synthetic that won't rot or smell like a bush wookie, intervowen with chunks of camo netting. from here: http://camosystems.com/products/ghillies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
