I bought the synthetic jute thread kit from GhillieSuits.com. However, I noobed the jacket pretty hard and used way more thread than it needed.
It's a goddamn yeti suit now and weighs damn well near 15lbs dry (I don't want to imagine it wet). I used 10-20 strands on each knot when, as I just found out, I am actually only supposed to use 4 or 5. Will definitely have to keep that in mind for the pants and hat! haha
Hotter than hell when I tried it out today (25 degrees, sunny, and super humid). I'll be adding additional material to it as well to "leaf" it up a bit, probably burlap material as soon as I can source some locally.
