Awsome job on the suit! Did you use a BDU jacket? and is the hood attached?

[Jc9784]

Yes I used BDU's and sewed on the hood then I sewed canvas on the knees and the elbows and front of the suit for durability while low crawling.

[Creek]

How often do you have too water that thing :)

[Jc9784]

LOL! Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chia.No really these are best camoflauge u can get I have been within 3 feet of people and not been seen.I again will sell these suits cutom made to your specs if interested for $200.I will also trade a suit for a Bushmaster or Shocker if u want.

[Splat Attack]

I just wanted to know what you used to make those. Bdu's and what did you use to make the stringy things and ect.

Thanks

[Jc9784]

Well I used some old BDU's from a Army Surplus Store and then I got some Nylon 2" netting from an online store the I went to Wal-Mart and got 10 yards of Burlap the Natural Bronw not the White.The I cut the strips in 24" long pieces and the pulled each little strand out of the strip 1 by 1 took a ****load o time but it looks way better!.then I dyed all 7 pounds of burlap 2 pounds Lime Color 1 pound forest green 1 pound Dark Brown 2 pounds Light Olive 1 pound Olive.Then I tyed eacy little string piece on until I had a good look.Email me for full directions.

[Splat Attack]

You dyed it lime?! like neon lime?! wouldnt that stand out.

[Jc9784]

No I let it sit in the Lime dye for about 1 hour the shorter you leave it it the dye the lighter the color gets.So I left it in there for about 1 hour

[Jc9784]

Okay guys I am gonna sell Ghillie Suits for $200 back and front for $250.I will put canvas on both knees and elbows for low crawling and canvas on front only by request.I will waterproof it and fireproof it also.Just email me the address and your name and how much burlap and what scenario u want Woodlands,Desert,Jungle,Leafy Green.I am charging lower than any price u will find on the internet.I will put 7 pounds of burlap on each suit to add the effectivness at short distances.My suits are high quality I have been making them for 2 years so u will be satisfied with your suit.

[terpsare1]

go here http://www.ghilliesuits.com

[terpsare1]

you can get them at http://www.ghilliesuits.com for 180

[Jc9784]

He uses Jute Thread I make mine from Burlap which gives the suit a much more frazzle look which is what u want.I do my suits by hand and put my own time in chredding the burlap BEFORE it is put onto the suit to make it look better.He also charges to waterproof it and fireproof it.I will also which is just a top make a hood or a Boonie hat for no charge.Also his is a poncho mine you will get the pants and the top for $200 for just the whole back of the suit done which I recommend.I will also do the back and front for $250.Email me if interested in buying a suit from me.

[terpsare1]

Since I' not a REAL sniper, shoting REAL guns, and I'm not going to war. I think I'll go with ghilliesuits.com. I mean seriously $180 or $300. Wouldn't you make the same decision.

[terpsare1]

by the way, I could swear you got that picture off of the ghilliesuits.com website. Please post a picture of YOUR work, not someone elses

[Jc9784]

I don't have a scanner that is why I posted that pic and no I didn't get that pics from ghilliesuits.com I got it from another site.It's your opinion if u think I can't make suit's like I said I have been making them for 2 years.

[terpsare1]

What website did you get it from? If you don't have a picture of your work then don't post a picture at all. If I'm going to buy your ghillie suit I don't want to see a picture of one made by someone else. You shouldn't pass someone elses work off as your own

[Jc9784]

I just bought a scanner today I will upload pictures in my next reply as soon as I take a picture of my suit.I see whaat u mean but i didn't have a scanner at the time and I just thought better to have a picture than not one at all.I make my suits almost identical to Todd Muirheads so that's why I posted that picture.

[Jc9784]

Here is the suits that I make I am selling them for 200 dollars each for the jacket and the pants.Ghilliesuit.com is cheaper but u only get the poncho not the pants.

http://www.pbreview.com/fpics/Jc9784040501184947image1.jpg

[terpsare1]

maybe you should just make the poncho. It would be cheaper and most likely easier to move in. how much camo do you need?

[Jc9784]

The Poncho doesn't give your as much coverage as the pants and jacket and if you're thinking maybe my suits will be too HOT! they won't be I have been in one of these suits for 2 solid hours and wasn't as HOT! as u think.The Poncho doesn't cover your entire body and they aren't as durable as the BDU's.And your supposed to buy the BDU's a 1 size larger than u usually would so u can easily slip into it.Trust me when it comes to Ghillie's BDU's are way better.

[terpsare1]

but you also have to realize we aren't in the military. We are just playing paintball.

[Paint Bulley]

Terspare, if you don't want one and don't think they are neccesary why do you keep replying?


Jc9784 - have you ever used a flight suit? if so how did it work? if not mabye you could try it that way. I know someone who made 2, one your way, and one the same way but with coveralls. He liked the coveralls better. Just an idea

[Jc9784]

Trespare1 I am not asking you to buy one I am giving you my opinion as to get more for your money the Poncho I think doesn't give you that much coverage.I mean I use these in paintball and I aint in military I have seen others wear them so it's not about bieng in the military it's about getting a quality money's worth Ghillie Suit.Paintball Bully I have not used the Flight suit base Ghillie Suit personally I just like the way the BDU suit looks and how easy it is to get into.But if you like the flightsuit way then I guess there just as good.I personally dye each strand of Burlap to the color you choose.7 pounds may sound like alot of burlap but it isn't military Ghillie suits weigh (spelled wrong) 20 pounds so if I thought u were in the military Trespare1 I would make them that heavy but I don't.

[Splat Attack]

Is it hard to see out of that with a mask on?! that looks really difficult. Nice work though. I would buy one if i had the money! Very nice looking. I hope business is good.

[Jc9784]

No it's not hard if u get the hood instead of the boonie hat actually it fits really snugly over your head.Well I either use a boonie hat or a hood on the boonie hat I keep the back of boonie hat with LONG strands of burlap and the front short.and is your in a fixed position u can turn the hat around so the long strands are in front so it hangs down and covers your face.Thanks that was one of my best suits there.

[steve]

Sniper gods, not only tells you how to make them, will make them for you for 100 dollars even tho yours looks pretty cool price is a big dif.

[Paint Bulley]

JC your suit you made looks awsome. Do you get hot in it?

Also Burlap is a material, jute string is what makes up burlap. So really instead of unravelling all the burlap, you can just buy jute thread.

[Jc9784]

Thanks alot guys for your reply's to my thread,the reason I am selling my suit for $200 is because my suits are handmade quality **** were talking here.I put my own EXPERT knowledge and my expertese into each suit myself to ensure that you get everything you pay for.Yes Jute is the same as Burlap I prefer to use the Burlap because it's a more natural look to the suit.I make each suit diffrent to your expectations Just like a fingerprint,I put everything on my suits imaginable to ensure that you get quality and comfort for when you are in the field.I have not visited that site that you mentioned that sells them for $100 but I will take a look at it and get back to yall.No it does not get HOT because I insert special tubes inside the suit to let AIR flow through so you do not get HOT.If you would like to see a pic of my work or would like to order one then send me an email at JC9784@yahoo.com.

[ockey]

If you got that off your site then i used some of your instructions in making mine. I used my dads old hunting coveralls. If you use a set of mechanic coveralls then make sure that you don't get the insulated ones or you'll die from heat. If you go to paintballzone.com they have really detailed instructions on how to make a good ghille. The author, squeegie, a veteran paintball sniper also put many sniper tactics that work extremely effective. Those are the tactics i use when i snipe. I would suggest going there if you are serous about wanting a ghillie.

[Orbity]

just make your own..no offense but i wouldbt buy a suit from a person unless it was at a garage sale or something. Stick with companies then you can always have a lawsuit.

Cost to make by yourself under 100$
buy them off ghilliesuits.com if u want them cheap like tera said were not in the military and dont need the best quality.

Jute works better anyways for paintball. lighter than burlap and cheaper in most cases. Easier to move and since snipers dont sit and wait for days on end like military snipers do (once again) we dont need the best quality

[Paint Bulley]

what is wrong with you guys?

he is trying to sell something and you are outright telling people not to buy from him.....

mabye you don't like the idea, but if someone wants one.. and then sees all these posts they might get discouraged.

People can make there own decisions.

also if you get some kid spending $30 for flight suit, $20 for burlap, $5 for dye and then screws it up the kid is out $55. when he should of just bought from this guy who will do a great job, and knows what he is doing.

mabye it's just me but I think you guys trying to discourage people from buying from him are real A$% holes.

MY 2 CENTS>>>>

[terpsare1]

yeah well i think you should mind your own business.

[Jc9784]

trespare1 u have a real problem with thinking you're going to get these suits for the high quality that I make them for cheap.U can't,u say ghilliesuits.com is cheaper then buy from them but I can tell you right now they are not as good as mine.My suits have been tested in the field by my Ex-Marine Sniper partner who helps me make these.I am sorry if the price is big but so are the results u will get everything for your money.I happen to know Todd Muirhead at ghilliesuits.com and u don't want to pay someone who has only been making suits for 2 years and doesn't know anything about making them and waste your money.I have been making them for 4 years and I know everything about them.Once again I am NOT asking you Trespare1 to buy one from me if u want one from ghilliesuits.com then fine go ahead and buy it but u will be very dissapointed when you get your suit and realize that u could've gotten a better one for just 100 dollars more.

[Jc9784]

First of all Orbity Jute is the same thing as Burlap.Jute is what they use to make Burlap so it will weigh the same.Second would u rather pay 100 dollars to have a suit that doesn't break up your human outline and doesn't let you blend into to your surroundings?.The poncho on GhillieSuits.com doesn't cover your body as good as mine do mine gives 360 coverage and is just as light.It won't be HOT in my suits because I add mosquito netting to the back and to the back of the legs for ventilation the suits on Ghilliesuits.com doesn't have that.I know that were not real snipers but for god sakes if I were you I would want quality for my money not **** for my money.

[Orbity]

1.) It does break up the figure my brother has one and with a rifle wrap ur almost invisble
2.)Jute is cheaper and is extremely durable from what ive seen. My brother has had his for over 6 scenario games and most hes had to do is fluff it up a little
3.)No offense but you have given no evidence that your an expert on making these
4.)You would get more business if you told them your would do all the work(cutting burlap, dyeing it, etc but not sewing or suplling bdu's) for a cheaper price and have an option to buy the full suit or bdu's with the burlap

Im not against your idea if it seems that way.

[Jc9784]

What do you mean sell them the materials?.Fine I will sell you materials if u guys want them.Again JUTE IS THE SAME AS BURLAP IT IS JUST AS DURABLE!!!.Your'e friend has onlt used it on 6 scenario games that is nothing wait about 1 year from now to see how really durable it is.As of proof I have experiance making these what proof do u need?.

[HitmanHart]

My suits are high quality I have been making them for 2 years so u will be satisfied with your suit.

I have been making them for 4 years and I know everything about them.
So which is it Jc?

I just bought a scanner today
none of the pictures Jc has posted so far are his own. I have seen these pictures else where on the internet. I can give websites if people want them.
Personally I wouldn't buy from someone who lies and on top of that they do it poorly..

p.s. terpsare1 is right about the first one..


[Edited by HitmanHart on 06-07-2001 at 03:41 PM]

[Jc9784]

Dude I a so sick of this **** man those are my pictures the first one isn't because at the time I didn't have a camera.The one I posted today is mine.The picture u saw on a website is probably my website.

[HitmanHart]

That still has nothing to do about how you lied on how much experience you had..

btw what is your 'supposed' website's address?



[Edited by HitmanHart on 06-07-2001 at 03:48 PM]

[Jc9784]

My Marine Corps. Sniper buddy the guy who helps me make them has 4 years experience and I have 2 he was the one who showed me how to make them.

[terpsare1]

oh, NOW I believe you. That was a sarcastic comment if you couldn't tell. Where the web address?

[Jc9784]

This is the web address to me and my friends Ghillie Suit website.I don't sell them there yet were just got it up 3 weeks ago.http://members.tripod.com/~paintwar/suit.html.
here is another pic for you Ghillie Nuts!.I am on the left and my Friend is on the right.

http://www.pbreview.com/fpics/Jc9784060701204900sniper.jpg

[terpsare1]

wow thats a nice picture, Who took it? What kindof gun are you using?

[Jc9784]

That's a Remington 700 and my Wife took the picture.

[terpsare1]

if you made the sight 3 weeks ago why do you have the 1997 ESPN paintball website. and why are you (if thats really you) using a remington 700 with a ghillie suit. Just wondering what you were hunting.

[Jc9784]

The gun is my Sniper friend's he collects them.The gun doesn't work it was just for the picture I wasn't hunting anything.The ESPN Schedule is on there because I saved the site to my harddisk until I could find another person to host my site because my old server was toooo slow.I had made the site itself in 1996.The site has been on that server for 3 weeks.And yes that is me.

[Paint Bulley]

That is such an awesome suit. If you want to give me one for free I don't mind.

[terpsare1]

for some reason i still don't believe you.

[Jc9784]

I don't care if you believe me it's your opinion just quit trying to persuade other people who want my suits not to buy them.

[Paint Bulley]

See jc if you gave me one for shipping and handling like lots of new buisnesses do to get now. I could show it off to people and tell them to buy some.think about it. or you could give me a messed up one. for half off, you know like shirts with only one sleeve. The price is just a little high for me but those are awesome.

[Jc9784]

okay guys I will lower the prices on my suits.I will now put them up for 160 dollars.!!!!

[DraXsuS]

While i was in army cadets(canada) they teached me how to use a camo net, i us a camo net instead of ghillie suit

[terpsare1]

i think camo net or a ghillie poncho would be better than a suit

[Jc9784]

fine but in my opinoin suits are way better and you will think so too if u get a net or a poncho.

[DraXsuS]

nets are cool u can use them for anything

[jambolin123]

hey jc, where do you get the nylon netting???

[jaykay998]

hi guyz

im with jc on this, i would rather get a proffesional to make my stuff than do it myself unless i felt that i was that strongly inspired or i only had the money to make it myself, at the end of the day all you guys can express is your opinion so stop trying to pressurise people to stop doing what they want cos its just bull**** and btw jc whats your website again

[kshammer]

A good suit can be found at the army navy store

[Rompandshop1114]

I'm looking to buy a ghillie suit. There are so many that found, i just need so advice which one(s) come highly recomended. I want something that will do its purpose but at the same time be able to move without any issues please help

[Bad_Company1]

I wanted to get a ghillie suit but the rules at my field for ghillie suits are if you get hit it doesn't have to break to get you out it just has to touch the material. :(

[Lazarusrat]

Here's a link to Special Ops about the suit I made,
