A few weeks ago Ethan posted a shirt with an eye catching pattern that I had never seen before. I reached out to Ethan wanting to learn more about it and, after a great conversation, thought you might be interested in meeting one of your sellers!
As this community continues to grow, I look forward to meeting (and buying from) a few of you!
If you have a story to tell, email me at logan@camoretro.com. I look forward to helping you tell it.

Where does your passion for the outdoors come from?
Our neighborhood that we moved to when I was 10 had a pond in it with stocked bass and ever since then I was hooked on anything hunting and fishing.
What's your favorite outdoor brand? Why?
My favorite outdoor brand is really anything vintage because of how well made everything used to be. It’s tough to find stuff that will last for a long time. If I had to narrow it down to a single brand then I’d have to go with Simms.
What's your favorite camo pattern? Why?
My favorite camo pattern has to be either the original Trebark or Mossy Oak Bottomland. You can be anywhere in the country and those patterns will always get it done for you.
What's been your favorite purchase and listing from Camoretro?
My favorite purchase that I’ve made off of Camoretro is the Team Ducks Unlimited white SnapBack. My favorite listing that I’ve had on the site is the Trebark pintail Ducks Unlimited SnapBack. I had that hat for years and I’m glad it went to someone that could appreciate it as much as I did.
How did you hear about Camoretro?
I always saw Camoretro’s page on Instagram but at first didn’t know that you could sell your own gear on it and also purchase gear as well.
What made you decide to sell with Camoretro?
The reason I started to sell my gear on Camoretro was because I had a solid collection already with vintage hunting gear but it was just sitting around collecting dust. I figured someone would appreciate this stuff and so I posted my first listings and ended up selling them really fast.
How has that experience been?
So far the experience has been great. Logan does a great job with the website and how user friendly it is also. It’s nice to be in a community with a bunch of people that share the same love for vintage gear as we do.
What are you most looking forward to in the 2020 seasons?
Right now we’re all anxiously waiting for turkeys to start up so I’m definitely most excited for that. And of course to use some of the gear that I’ve gotten from the site as well.
Any advice for those with a newfound interest in the outdoors?

I was happy to come across your website today! Growing up i was very lets say obsessed with mossy oak , so 1986 i was fortunate to be able to start getting it , my mother calls it my obsession, your story on the Hill country gobbler coat was awesome! I have the same jacket but in bottom bottomland new that I bought in 1994, then a later Greenleaf without corduroy coller still tags on it The only piece of Hill country i have ever acquired is a button up long sleeve that has never been washed. I also cornered the market on coveralls in all the original patterns including full foliage. Just glad to see other people who love the old mossy oak as much as I do , if you ever need helping dating a piece contact me , p.s Really need a pair of chamois Greenleaf xl overalls to complete my collection, but its a rare bird ! Thanks very much Justin Mulhern Rayville,La
