So who is making the best camo clothes in Mossy Oak Bottomland? Ole Tom? Nomad? Mossy Oak store?
For the money Academy Sports has some pretty good bottomland in the Magellan brand.
Paramount clothing has some nice stuff.

Agreed!
I mainly use Magellan and mossy oak brand. Fairly inexpensive and pretty cool in warm weather

I like their Magellan gear also. Pretty much all the camo k wear anymore. Have been using it for about 5 years now and haven't had to replace anything because it was defective. And I can get like 3 pairs of mossy oak pants or mossy oak wick away shirts for the price of 1 of some of the other brands.

Got a pair of nomad stretch lite pants that are awesome! Pretty durable so far through two seasons, lightweight, fit great, and plenty of pockets without all the bagginess
I know bottomland is the hottest thing in camo right now. Guns, blinds, pants, coats, masks, backpacks and underwear have to be bottomland. And never mix camo patterns. I don't know why. I think any natural color works fine if I just sit still.

I think it is that most of us hunters are getting older, and have money we didn't have in our youth to purchase the stuff we wanted. Now we have a little more disposable income, we want the stuff we missed out on. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Plus those old patterns really were/are effective. That's my best guess anyways!
Definitely nostalgia. Even though high school was only 25 years ago old bottomland kinda takes me back and remember when. But back then my arch enemy in high school wore mossy oak. So naturally I had to therefore wear realtree. Well now I kinda despite realtree and totally support mossy oak.

I agree it is nostalgia. I was a H.S. Realtree guy myself. I still wear a 20 something year old Advantage Timber jacket. I normally look like a hodge podge with my MO OB pants, MO BU hat, and Adv Timber Jacket. However, this year I will be hiding in a new MO leafy jacket. It's almost not even gonna be fair.....almost. :)
If 25yrs from now, the new digital camo is "back and all the rage", I'm gonna vomit! LOL
IMO, Ol Tom makes the highest quality stuff. MO store has some good stuff, but sizing can be difficult.
As far as nostalgia, there might be a little bit, but Bottomland blends well against about any tree. I wear bottomland on top but normally wear whatever Trek Lite (best material ever from Mossy Oak) pants are clean. I have them in several patterns except bottomland.
I wish MO would make a special run in Trek Lite pants in bottomland, Green leaf and Obsession.
I also wish Ol Tom would make a special run of their overalls, best ones that I have ever found but they quit making them 6-7 years ago. I bought a bunch of them in odd pattens (Brush is actually a good one) for 14 dollars a pair
Love Nomad but only when it's on sale
Definitely not the Mossy Oak store lol. I just got a pair of Nomad Stretch Lite pants and I really like them so far. They are the closest thing I've found to other pants I like to wear like Kuhl Renegades. I don't care for the built in knee pads and some of the other features on some of the Ol Tom pants.

Another vote for the Nomad Stretch Lite pants. The material is unbelievably tough for a performance style fabric!

Glad to see all the positive remarks about the Nomad stretch light pants! Granted I got a deal on them, but when I opened them and saw the hang tag that read $100 they reminded me of my Wife's pajamas. I've been scared to wear them outside near anything sharp or thorny!
I really like the Magellan cotton pants, but not their other stuff. I also like the Mossy Oak Tibbee stuff. Mine has held up well.

The new Nomad stretch-lite pants are fantastic. I have only worn them on 5 hunts so far this season but I've done plenty of crawling and the knees are holding up well.
My favorites are the Banded Lightweight Technical pants. They hold up really well to anything you can throw at them.

You aren't kidding. I've been watching the pricing on Original Bottomland Remingtons, they are getting big bucks right now. Well over 1000 bucks....crazy, if they only brought them back they couldn't make enough of them....
