A good ghillie suit isn't bought ready-made: it's built. That's why this page sells three distinct items—the base, the thread, or both together. It's up to you to decide where you stand.
The base is the "Foundation" jacket: a cotton body with a deep hood, short sleeves, and most importantly, a large-mesh nylon netting sewn onto the shoulders, back, and arms. This grid is what you will tie your strands into. It is worn over a combat uniform and closes with drawstrings.
The thread is the trim: synthetic strands about 60 cm long, sold in bags of about 450 g. The supplier states that you need about three bags—or 1.5 kg—to cover a full suit. A single bag is enough to flesh out a hood and shoulders, or to repair and densify an existing ghillie suit.
The thread can also be used on its own: on a BDU shirt, a helmet net, or a pack cover. The supplier states it is washable and colorfast. Three shades: jungle, desert, and khaki. The jacket is available in khaki, green, and black.
To complete your trim, see our ghillie crafting equipment: burlap, 3D leaves, and foliage strips.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the jacket come pre-trimmed?No. The photos of the jacket alone show the bare netting: it is a base to be trimmed. If you want the thread with it, choose a "jacket + thread" package.
How many bags of thread for a full suit?About three according to the supplier, or 1.5 kg. The jacket + thread set only contains one: plan for two additional bags for maximum density.
Are the trousers included?No, this is only the top: hooded jacket with short sleeves.
Is the thread washable?The supplier states it is washable and colorfast. Let it air dry flat, do not tumble dry.
Can the shades be mixed?It is actually recommended. A single-shade ghillie creates a uniform mass; two or three mixed shades break up the silhouette much better.
