Has anyone use this lightweight line of clothing? How did it hold up? Was it comfortable in hot weather?
I'm interested in this also. Also, how does the Cotton Mill material compare to the Tibbee?
I bought the mossy oak greenleaf last year in the cotton mill pants and i wouldn't want them any thinner because if it's one of those 40 degree morning your going to wish you had a under layer on with these pants..now if it's in the 70 you will be fine with these pants..So if those Tibbee are any thinner i wouldn't want them not much protection on the legs..From what i'v read the cotton mill is a lot softer material and doesn't fade as bad as the tibbee..

I'm thinking you have the two mixed up.
Tibee is thinner than cotton mill. I have some but haven't had it long enough to add much.

tibbee feels like you have on a wax paper shirt.
No..I don't have them mix up Palongspur..The cottom aren't that thick either..I'm sure the tibbee are thinner than the cottom mill...
Worn both like both
I much prefer the cotton mill. The tybee is not comfortable when it's hot.

I also have both, and very much like both. The comfort issue above hasn't been my experience. I like the lighter weight for later in the season.

A wash cycle made a difference with the texture. I have the shirt and pants in Greenleaf and found them very comfy. JMHO.
Two years ago, I bought the Tibbee pants and shirt first because it was purportedly lighter, ripstop material.
I had to send it back and exchanged for the cotton mill because they did not fit, the shirt in L was cut like a medium. The pants were off too, maybe not a full size too small. The woman I spoke with told me that they had that experience with other customers. The cotton mill is a little heavier, a brushed cotton twill, and heavier than off the shelf BDU's but similar to some MO Obsession pants that Wally Mart is selling.
The Tibbee fabric is pretty close to ripstop military BDU's in terms of weight. The question is whether they have a better contractor for them now, and you might need to call them and discuss whether they are running true to size. You might consider ordering one in your size and one up to see how it works out. Some contractors in Asia just cannot maintain consistency in fit and quality.
This would be a steal if you can find them in stock sommers:

The cotton mill run true to size in my experience. I have a 36 waist and the large pants and shirt are perfect.
Ok....welll I'm round 6'3 240....38-39 waist......so i'll probably have to go with XL then in pants and 2XL shirt...
Before I order.....does anyone know how the Browning Wasach stuff is?
I have both tibee and cotton mill. I wear both and have no issues with either. However, if I were to purchase more, I would probably go with only cotton mill. I do believe the tibee shirt is a little cooler than the cotton mill. I always wear an undershirt tee (either polyester or merino wool) so the "waxy" feel doesn't affect me.
I have no experience with Browning Wasach, and haven't ever heard of it.
I used it last year and liked it.
Yinz boys thanks. Much appreciated. But I'm goin to go with Cotton mill now.....These PA mornings up in the National Forest can be in the 30s in april and may......

Those are my stomping grounds as well. You'll be happy with the cotton mill.
Owls Nest?
I have the tibbee in greenleaf. They are nice, but very thin. Sizing was an obstacle. I am 5'10", 200lbs. I ordered a Large and it was really small. I ordered an XL and it's very baggy. Oh well, it'll work.
I went to the Mossy Oak store in West Point a while back and it was an easy choice for me to go with the Cotton Mill over the Tibbee. The Cotton Mill line is by no means heavy weight clothing and I preferred the feel of it much better than the Tibbee. I'm 5'9" and 175 lbs and M pants and shirt both fit me well.

Dont buy the tibbee pants. The "rip stop" cotton is a joke, I got pair straight from the MO booth at the NWTF show last year. They had holes torn in the crotch and around the back pockets before season opened, and by the time I got through they were torn too bad to bother with.
I also have the tech tee, LS shirt that's kind of like the under armor material. I like it and still use it, it's very comfortable and light. It still is not the best quality - last year while pulling it off my arms, the threads in one sleeve cracked and were torn in several places. The shirt was still wearable, however I got some heavy nylon thread this year and stitched it back up to be sure it didn't fall apart. So it is still in service, as long as I can keep it in one piece.
I've worn it this week on 4 hunts down to 32 degrees in the am.
It's comfortable, fits well, blends in well and I have no complaints at this point.

X2. I own 5 sets of the cotton and 2 sets of the tibbee.The cotton mill is superior in holding up and not fading. Both will fade after a few washings but the cotton hasn't lightened up as much. I wash in cold water and hang to air dry. It seems like the greenleaf and original bottomland fade worse than other mossy oak camo to me.
Try the Nomad stuff for Original Bottomland. The LS cooling shirt is awesome.
ETA:
I've been wearing the Tibbee clothing for the second season. Originally, it is pretty stiff. Wearing it has really softened the material and is now quite comfortable.
As far as fading, the tibbee is a bit more muted and natural in tone in contrast to a lot of the vibrant color schemes and detail they put into of other fabrics.
I like matte and drab camo because it blends in a lot better with the brown and grey color schemes found on oak and poplar trees.
