2546.0. ""Blaze" orange hunting apparel" by PCBUOA::BAYJ (Jim, Portables) Fri Jan 24 1997 12:42

    From time to time I used to get catalogs in the mail that ranged from
    hunting/fishing type catalogs to catalogs that could only be for
    militia.
    
    In addition to 38 varieties if "camo", most featured hunting clothes
    and supplies in a color called "blaze" or "flame".  These were "camo"
    in a sense, because they contained variagated and uneven patterns. 
    However, unlike typical "camo" which consisted of browns and greens,
    these were flourescent orange (and black) in color.  I believe the
    philosophy was that to creatures that only see in monochrome, the
    camoflage effect would be the same, but to creatures with color vision
    (man) the wearer would light up like a candle.
    
    Unfortunately, none of the recent batch of catalogs seem to carry the
    flourescent colors anymore, just the ODs, etc.  Could someone provide
    the number of a catalog supplier that still carries these bright
    colored hunting garments?
    
    Thanks!
