Not everyone has what it takes to build a ghillie suit. It is not a difficult task, but if you do not have time, patience, and motivation you are going to do a very poor job or abandon the job part way through. For those that find they have those qualities, you can build a better suit than you could buy unless you are willing to lay out some serious coin. If you find a suit for sale as good as one you could build, someone has spent a lot of time and effort building it and will want to be compensated accordingly.

The only way to find out if you have the qualities necessary to build your suit is to jump in and give it a try. You will already know if you have the time, but the other qualities are a bit more elusive. Fortunately, there are kits in abundance available for those wishing to test their mettle for this project. If you can put together a suit you are pleased with from a kit, then you have what it takes and will most likely want to try a more ambitious project than the basic kit provides

Your next effort should have a comfortable yet durable set of clothing for its base and once the netting is attached proceed just as you did with the kit. As you progress, you will most likely have ideas about how to make it better. Don\’t be squeamish about trying any idea that pops into your head. You\’re making a ghillie suit, not a tuxedo. You have plenty of room for error and its easy enough to just back up. If you\’re not bashful you can always ask someone such as myself for suggestions when you come to a place that slows you down.

If you get really good at this and can turn a suit out with speed, you will find a market waiting for your finished product. All those folks that tried just like you did but failed will still want a good ghillie suit. Also, you can look at the ready-to-wear suits available on the internet and what they sell for. Can you make as good a suit in a period of time that would sell and leave you a profit? The suits you see on the internet are for the most part shipped from somewhere overseas and shipping that far is not cheap. It seems to me that the shipping would offset the cheap labor.

Not all suits are shipped from other countries. We sell suits constructed on a set of BDUs that are far superior to any of the suits from any other country. If you think you would like to try your hand at building one of these suits, we sell a set of BDUs in your choice of camo pattern and size with the netting already sewn on. You pick your colors of thread and go to work. You will be surprised at the end result. A better ghillie suit
