Every now and again my inner "Tommy Tactical" will shine through. Can't help fighting that urge. I once worked a Saturday in my bank lobby wearing 5.11 pants, Bates desert boots, Blackhawk Rigger's belt, and one of my tan bank shirts. One of my range buddy friends showed up and laughed his butt off. No one else got the joke.
I stopped shopping for hunting clothes at Bass Pro years ago when I grew up and realized that RealTree Hardwoods doesn't blend well with South Texas Mesquite brush. Now, I still can't help it when I hunt, and have to pop out the digital ACUs from time to time. Complete with SERPA thigh holster and tactical sling for my .30-06.
I shop the army surplus stores now for all my hunting clothes. It's so easy to pick the right colors and cheaper than BPS or Gander these days. Desert Tan, OD Green, and Coyote Brown are the only colors I really need. I've also picked up some camo I thought might blend well with the South Texas terrain; German BGS (desert camo), ACU, MARPAT, and recently picked up some MultiCam (haven't hunted with it yet). Nobody judges me at the lease and I could care less what others think when I'm in public. If the camo don't work at the lease, I just wear it around the house when doing yard work. The wife thinks it's cute when I wear camo while pushing a lawnmower.
