Title: Advantage Classic Camo
Post by: tjh24 on February 17, 2019, 11:20:06 AM
Old school is back in style! One of my favorite patterns is Advantage classic.  I thought maybe with the popularity of original bottomland, I could find one, but I have it. It's a tremendous pattern for the open hardwood ridges we hunt early in the PA season.  I have looked everywhere.... does anyone out there happen to have a button down shirt they would be willing to part with? I need an XL.  It's a long shot I know, but I figured someone out there might have one. Thanks  guys!

I agree, I think it was the best pattern for breaking up an outline for any hardwoods. Saw it myself many times.

Go to ebay, search: camo advantage

Tons of vintage camo clothing being sold there.

Advantage camo has always been my favorite for hunting the mountains here in western Virginia.
Sorry. I don't have any to sell.
Good luck.

Seems I'm not the only one! I guess camo companies need to make money ... but they never needed to change that one! I wish they'd bring it back

I wish they would.i would wear it for turkey and deer hunting. I only have one heavy shirt and a kwikee quiver in the pattern now.

I agree. The guns look sweet in advantage.

I have a Beretta I bought in the 90s in that pattern. I've lost it a few times laying it on the ground

I tried to have my Benelli dipped in advantage, but apparently realtree doesn't offer it . My buddy has an old 870 with the original advantage and it's awesome!

Hands down an amazing camo. The basic Advantage however it looked basic. Then they had the Advantage HD, RealTree finally dropped it. The regular Advantage was probably taking away to much sales from the HD camo patterns...

Seems like it was a pretty popular pattern.  I'm still looking on eBay, but nothing my size so far. Just checking in again????

Was more of an advantage timber fan back in the day. Just gave away about 6 sets of it to a new hunter.

I have "and will NOT" part with an 870SM in the original Advantage camo, I have a pair of Original Advantage camo Wrangler Jeans that I still wear. My favorite was Advantage pants and Bottomland shirt or coat.. That was the best of the best right there

Agreed. For many years, I wore a MO Fall Foliage chamois shirt with a pair of Woolrich chamois pants in Advantage. Wore / washed those Advantage pants until they faded so much I had a gobbler bust me in my opening day set up. I was sorry to toss those into the GoodWill bin.

I had a suit of it back in the day that was chamois....I always wore it during the primitive weapons season when the leaves were changing.
