optic Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Picked up a cheap set of cotton cam gear off ebay. Im not into that hairy camo gear. $70 bucks there abouts delivered and made in, yer you guessed it china. While the cam pattern is good the stitching quality is absolute crap. Yer i know i gobbed off about sewing, well my machine is also rubbish its going. So i used the Womans machine flash Swiss thing. Does it all except talk to you but who needs that when you have a womans there Check out ebay item number 280625334159. Its cheap and may suit a new hunter.

Whats your problem? Optic I get Camo clothing made, I can tell you that in my experience, the #### stitching makes half the Chinese LOW END clothes fall apart and is not good value in the long run.

Just my HO. I hate to say it but you could have bought Ridgeline for almost that amount. . Fair call on the gear, but i got it for more than one reason. I have been on my girls sises back to make this stuff for some time as she is in the game. I wanted her to see what was available and the quality of such. Do you have a contact for the camo material Nitro? Ill give this to her and see what she will charge to make it. But you do need the materials?

gafloss Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I hate to say it but you could have bought Ridgeline for almost that amount. +1. Either Ridgeline or some quality double stitched Auscm stuff from just about any disposal store. Plenty of good cheap gear at Cabelas & BassPro too. $79 for clothing that needs re-sewing is just a waste of beer money IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameronpatrol Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Quality or not optic just showed that there are other options in camo clothing. And you cant keep knocking the stuff from china as 99% of what we buy is from china or components. car parts to dunny paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optic Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well buying cheap doesnt always mean you save money. That's my point. Good point and point taken. The only reason i put that up was because some people struggle to finance their hunting. Camo gear and good gear can be expensive. I just gave a cheap option for those that may find it a bit hard. In the end its your call. Agreed, cheap is not always the best option but it is an option if you cant afford the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500Nitro Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Quality or not optic just showed that there are other options in camo clothing. And you cant keep knocking the stuff from china as 99% of what we buy is from china or components. car parts to dunny paper. I know 99% of what we buy is from China. It's not all good, it's not all crap. The price list of most things that come from China reads like this. T Shirt Average quality $4.00 T Shirt Good quality $4.90 T Shirt Best quality $5.50 On other things it's XYZ Product Average quality $18.00 1 Failure in a 100,000 T Shirt Good quality $22.00 1 Failure in a 1/2 million T Shirt Best quality $28.00 1 Failure in a million On clothing, I was talking about this in the NT over Xmas and my mate commented on the old style US Marine jackets being good - and one of the specific things he mentioned was the stitching (it is good) AND that when you put your hand in a pocket you don't end up with a handful of loose threads when trying to get some ammo out. Those practical things are the difference between good and poor quality. I have said before, many people in this world can't differentiate between price and value. Just my HO. .

cameronpatrol Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 All good points guys Ive got the stoney creek APG winter gear and that hurt the pocket but it will last for a long time i hope. Id like to just use that gear for deer hunting as its very quiet to wear. But that chinese gear would be a good fox gear as a bash around kit dont matter if you rip it or sit in cow sh1t And can be repaired by the best invention cable ties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
