Default Fleece outer wear

I’ve torn up my old fleece camo pretty bad this year and am looking to replace it.

Lots of companies are advertising silent camo but nothing is as quit as a fleece. The problem is that I can’t seem to find it anymore.
Does any one have any product recommendations? My next step will be finding material and having a local seamstress make it.

It’s wool but sure looks good.

I would suggest checking out some North face fleece pullovers. I thought I seen some at Cabela's today. Either way there stuff always seems high quality. Just not camo

Fleece is warm and quiet. I found out the hard way yesterday it is worse than cotton if you take a dunking. Gonna spend the extra and go with wool, in a bad spill far from adequate shelter it could mean the difference between life and death. In my case it meant an early end to a hunting day.

Good move. Cannot beat wool outer wear for quiet and heat retention, especially if you get wet.

In my experience fleece is quite warm when wet. Take it off, wring it out, ready to go.

Eddie Bauer is having a 60% off sale right now. They don’t have camo, but I picked up a light layering fleece pullover for $30, regular price $100.

Exactly my experience.

Look for Windpro fleece. It blocks about 80% of the wind. I've had some from Browning for over a decade and love it.

Raven Wear out by Caroline , AB did some winter fleece "over-jacket" outer wear for me awhile ago. They may be closed now but worth looking up and checking out. Made from your measurements
