Title: Ol Tom Clothes
Post by: mebe007 on February 24, 2013, 12:00:31 PM
Who wears them? how do you like them? Do you guys prefer the bibs or the pants? how does the duralite material compare to the older softer stuff? trying to get myself something new this year that isnt so dang hot.

I have the ol'tom pants and shirt and have used them the last few years and I really like them. Just remember to removed the spine pad and knee pads before washing.

I really like the duralite pants I have.  I have no experience with the older stuff.

Good stuff.....FYI..it runs small, so order the next size up if you like a loose fit, or room for base layers.

I bought the pants last year, they do run small. Especially in the legs. My buddies had some drake pants, both ripped in the crotch. Seems like you can lift your knees up with out them ripping. I bought the bottomland pants, old tom,  guess where they ripped??? In the crotch!!  2nd time wearing them. The crotch seem to low in the ol tom and the drake pants. For me anyways.. Very comfortable but I just didnt like the extra breeze so I'll be moving to some other pants this year.

well went to bass pro today and tried it on. large was said to be my size and they fit well. tried the xl pants and didnt even need to unbutton to put on lol. decided to grab the large pants and xl shirt. found on ol toms sight in the clearance section they have a bunch of stuff so i grabbed a pair of their silencer technical bigs for earlier in the season and found a silencer shirt and seat bad on archery talk for a good deal. looking forward to maybe not having to carry a vest when i go to camp in the mountains. i dont mind my super elite vest hunting fields here at home but running those ridges up north isnt fun with a vest. I hope this stuff is worth it lol, sure wasnt cheap but i really like the duralite stuff as im tired of sweating my butt off in late season from my heavy cotton silent hide bass pro camo. although i would probably benefit for sweating a little more lol

I have been interested in the bibs myself. Anyone know who carry's the bibs. I don't think red head has them.

I own a few pieces of Ol tom stuff.....pants, shirt and jacket.
I like them all for the quality of the camo pattern, the thought out pockets, and the addition of spine pads to shirts and jackets that are really helpful in the woods and make sitting for a long time easier.
The price is a little high but if you catch stuff on clearance you can save a little money.
