Title: Anyone know how old these are?
Post by: mbowyer51 on February 01, 2017, 09:19:18 PM
Came across some older camo the other day and was wondering if anyone knew how old they actually might be. I think the vest is pretty awesome.

I'm going to guess early 90's on the vest

I believe mid to late 80's on the tree bark early 90's on the realtree.

That TreeBark pattern has a lot of green in it, makes me think mid 90's. The early TB camo was only various shades of gray.

Not sure on age but I'd just go ahead and put that vest in a safe place...That's a dime piece

Late 80's to early 90's. I used to have a full suit of that particular camp!!

Wow that really takes a guy back in time. I remember as a kid it was head to the army surplus for hunting clothes(in the early 80s) then I thought I hit the big time when I bought my first trebark zip up sweatshirt...now it's kool again. Lol...

Started out the same, woodland or old ww2 pattern. Was quite a few years before I had a complete suit of any one pattern. Wish I knew then what I know now about the hunting.

I think that may be a '90's version of trebark as it is the NWTF version.  The Realtree is the old All Purpose that was also around early to mid 90's I think

I think this is correct

That vest looks like a Lynch vest I purchased in the early 90's.

For turkey hunting, I do not think anything really beats that "tree bark" camo and sittin' against a tree.
