Looks like Ol Tom is introducing a new camo pattern in their stuff. Saw this on Mack’s PW the other day. They’ve also had some pictures of the pattern on the Non Typical Instagram page as well.

Camo pattern going "full circle", it appears.  That is one of, or close to, the original woodland camo pattern that was one of the few that were available back in the 1960's era.

That looks like an older woodland pattern and a first lite pattern had a baby.

I like to wear the old army green stuff as a jacket when its greening up in the woods. It really is full circle as camo goes and that wheel still rolls just fine.

The resurgence of the older mossy oak patterns I think have helped some other brands realize that the older patterns were really really good. OG bottomland is as good as it gets imo

I love the older patterns for nostalgia and they are probably pretty good for up close turkey hunting but I think most of them turn into a big dark blob at a little bit of distance.  I do like bottomland.

I’m making my own vest this year, that will be as close to perfect of a vest one can be for me, and I think I have an idea of a design that many others will like as well.

I’m gonna let this one hang out there haha. Since I don’t have anything to show currently and I’m not a big production likelihood is I may only get my own personal vest done for this year. I’ve messed around building some prototypes but really it’s all been practice and learning fabrics and stuff. I have a good idea of what I’m doing though and when I get back home from my holiday travels I’ll be putting together my vision.

Always interested to see new vest and I agree it’s really not the calls but rather all the other things we need or use.

Amazing that it took a company to semi-duplicate the Bob Dixon Vest. This vest looks good in the pics, has similar claw type shoulder straps, the magnetic flap striker pockets, the edge trim mimics the Dixon vest. Looks like a nice layout, materials look pretty good. Interested in hearing how hunters rate it. Ol Tom makes nice equipment, hopefully it is as good as it looks in person……wish them luck.

The one thing I am looking for now in a vest, is one that is light and extremely breathable,Id prefer mesh,almost like a leafy suit top. I find vests are too warm once it heats up,the last few years we had winter conditions until the middle of May and then it was summer,basically no spring. I don't think there will ever be a "perfect" turkey vest, there are so many that are good, and so many with with great options, only to be saddled down with other options on the same vest that are useless and garbage. I have went looking for years and I am still searching.
