To remain hidden from both the animals and the poachers, ghillies would cover up in the naturally colored plaid patterns of their traditional kilts, sometimes with extra vegetation laid over top. These kilts were likely the world’s first camouflage fabric clothing, which ultimately gave us the ghillie suit. Each family or clan’s kilt had their own unique colors and pattern, which were produced from natural plant and mineral dyes. These classic irregular plaid patterns of blue, green, yellow, brown, and black yarn were woven into the kilt material, essentially creating camouflaged “blankets” that were dyed with colors from the native vegetation. https://www.outdoorlife.com/photos/gallery/2015/03/how-make-your-own-ghillie-net/
