I just finished a jacket that I am going to use for bow hunting. I used the pre dyed and cut jute string. I have not gotten a chance to test it out yet but it looks great. You can add in pieces of burlap to give it a little better effect.

Plan on investing a lot of time on it. I probably have 30 hours in mine and if you dye and cut all your own materials you could easily add another 30 hours.

I used burlap and shredded it. I used Jute cord to tie the joints in my netting.

Here is a pic of the finished product and proof that it worked!!

My base was a West German "splatterflage" hooded jacket ( cost $29 CDN).  My netting was from Canadian Tire and was intended to cover fruit trees.  It is recycled herring netting the pack had enough for two suits. ( cost $12 CDN)

The coloured burlap from a local fabric store ($20)
The Brown burlap from the garden Centre ($8)

I am going to finish the pants this winter based on some double canvas Rhodesian pants that I picked up for $20
I figure that I have about 40 hours into the top half
