Sidewalk Camo

It's not only animals that use camouflage to to escape their natural enemies. We do too. I don't hunt, although I live in a state where hunting is a large draw. From what I have seen lately, fashion has become a big part of the hunting game in and out of the woods. Don't believe me? Stop by any of the large or small outdoor gear stores. Check out the hunting sections of large businesses like LL Bean, Kittery Trading Post and Cabelas and sample the clothes' racks. I must admit this jacket is a eye-catcher on a local sidewalk. I wouldn't buy one, but I do see why others are attracted to jackets, hoodies and other outdoor wear clothes. To each his own, I say.
I'll leave it at that.
Not getting into the hunting debate here.
Not even going to go any further battling the pros and cons of fashion either.
However, Heidi would look stunning in this number, with or without the spiked heels.

    Comment number 1 person: Seriously, you have nothing better to do than foist yourself onto someone's blog with a reply that has nothing to do with anything relevant?
    Get a grip, Steve.

    Anyway, Cabelas HAD to include their name onto the image of the jacket?? That's stupid, too.

    Look out Birdman, I'm in rare form today!

      I've run across that nitwit before posting a comment, Elenka. And I've snarled back in his blog.

    I wish that you hadn't removed the comment; I'd love to read what raised Elenka's hackles! Wasn't aware of the change of stylish hunting clothes; I'll have to stop in a shop to see for myself.

    Yep, it would be easy to hide in the woods wearing this!

    I've never seen anything quite like this. I guess I need to make a browsing trip to Cabela's sometime soon....or maybe not.
    PS Heidi would look good in just about anything!

    This is a jacket? I thought it was a an old tree trunk! Maybe that's what it's supposed to look like. Most hunters I know don't give a flip about fashion, but they do wear a lot of camo. Some of them look like old tree trunks sans camo!

    Fortunately, us golfers are always attired appropriately! Heh, heh!

    Wasn't aware of this fashion trend. Thanks for keeping me in the loop!

    I've got a few bandannas that use camo print. I like the style, and I'm thinking of getting a pair of shorts or two with it.

    Our War Museum had a temp exhibit a couple of years ago on camofluage through time, including in fashion.

    I don't think anyone can pull that off.

    I won't shrink from controversy. I think that jacket is just about the ugliest thing I have seen. I don't even want to see Heidi in it.

    Steve posts a lengthy incomprehensible ramble about religion about once a year on my blog. I usually catch and delete it within an hour or so. Poof!
