I'm still just wearing old army clothes  :-[ I bought some burlap a while back for the purpose of making one, but it got moldy. Sorry landlord took several months to fix a leak in the roof and we had to throw away a couple hundred dollars worth of shoes and stuff from mold damage. One of my buddies from work bought one for $35. It was actually pretty nice, so I might go that route the next time he finds enough guys to order. Still, there isnt anything quite like making your own stuff.

One of his friends dad owns a gun shop or something and can get them at that price with a order of 6 or more. I'm kinda kicking myself for not getting one when they ordered, but I've always wanted to make one. Plus, an old pair of army BDUs and some burlap doesnt cost near $35. Of course, if it took me 1.5 hours to make, it would definitely be more cost effective to buy one...

 IDK burlap seems to be a little pricey either that or I don't know where to get it any suggestions? Also do you have any pics of his suite?

I had gotten enough burlap to make a hunting blind on clearance for $10 awhile back. That's the stuff that got moldy on me. You might be able to check some feed stores or farmers and get enough for a ghillie suit for free. Here is the exact same suit he got: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=354272

I'm with you on that one  ;D I dont have as much time as I used to for projects and anything that is premade and saves money is a bonus! lol I'll check with him and see what I can do on getting another order in. If he can, I'll get 2 if you would like, one for you and one for me.
