Title: Ol tom vs nomad
Post by: skimerhorn on May 07, 2023, 09:11:20 PM
Looking to upgrade my clothes for next spring and not sure between nomad and ol tom. Any thoughts?

If you like the "Under Armor" somewhat stretchy type material, go Nomad. If you prefer the ultralight "flyweight" rip-stop polyester blend type material, then go Ol' Tom.

Both brands are breathable and comfy, but I personally prefer the Ol' Tom. I really like their spine pads in the shirts and pullovers. They used to have thin knee pads in the pants as well but they took those out in the 2.0 pants.

Nomad fits me better than ol' Tom. I'm not typically a guy who's camo matches like a catalog but I've found over the last few years my turkey hunting pants and shirts are nomad

To me Drake makes some fine clothing.

I've had both, I don't have a preference of one over the other. I will say that the nomad is a quieter material than Drake. And it seems to hold up better, but neither hold up as well as the old cotton stuff.

Can't go wrong with the mossy oak cotton mill

I have the Ol Tom pants and shirt.  I really like the pants.  They have pockets on the right outer leg for a pot call, striker and box call.  I actually use them for cell phone, readers and striker.  They have button up back flap pockets which I like getting up and down with my wallet.  This was my 4th season with them and they have held up well.  Very lightweight and comfortable.  Have not worn the Nomad line to compare.  I will say, I have the nomad half gloves and really like them.

Nomad seems to run a little bigger in the pants than ol Tom in my opinion. I have both and I think they both are great
