I’m still not sure if that tops camouflage fishing gear.

Anyone who didn’t know this was a thing clearly doesn’t live in Flyover Country™.

This raises a number of questions, such as “what’s actually wrong with people?” and “is this legal in Spain?”

This isn’t where it started, but where it hit mainstream.
BTW, when the “family” had a real wedding (not for the cameras), it was normal…

Honestly, I kind of like it, and I am 100% not in the demographic. I especially like how it’s mixed with hunter orange accents.

While this is a great piece, I think there’s a hair to be split here. RealTree and MossyOak camo patterns have never had the military/tacticool/violently-hyper-masc connotations that About Face covers.
These camo items, as others have stated upthread, are much more about being Rural. These come from the Hunting As A Lifestyle set; less about having a fully kitted out AR-15 than 30-06 and a 12-gauge. It’s also why you’ll see a lot more dresses and women wearing the natural-camo patterns, since hunting is ostensibly open to all people. Naturally there’s a lot of other toxic stuff wrapped up in it (rural vs urban signaling often has some racial stuff involved at some level), and I’m sure there’s some venn overlap with the blaze-orange realtree set, but they are different.

As a mountain stream trout fisherman, I don’t own any camo,but I can say that neutral colors can help not scare trout in gin-clear water. If you’re out on your bass boat trawling for fish on a lake, then yeah, camo is just a lifestyle choice.

Instead of camo, what about The Black Collection from Miguel Caballero - custom tailored body armor? I guarantee a lot of the very wealthy and a significant number of heads of state wear it to public events.
