Here's a brief history of where ghillie suits are thought to have come from: Many say that the ghillies were first shepherds who created this type of clothing to walk among the herds and catch the wolves. Because it was so successful, the "ghillies" were then promoted by the King and Queen to be their gamekeepers for hunting. So, the ghillies, with their clever use of camouflage clothing, were much better hunting assistants.

This is why the Ghillie suit is now the suit of choice for top military snipers, special forces missions, some SWAT police teams and also for some professional hunters. It also has now become popular for those who like to play the popular paintball game in the woods. The downsides to wearign these suits can include:being heavy, and can be quite hot at times. Although you can buy pre-made suits, the soldiers in special forces are suppose to each make their own suits. The more a suit blends into the environment it will be used in, the better. Therefore, some makers go to real extremes to achieve this. They will bleach and wash it several times, drag it in the mud, etc. Others will also attach real vegetation on to the article. The above images are from premade ghillie suits that you can buy from us.
