Benefits of Jute Thread verse Burlap
All Burlap is manufactured over seas from either China, or Bangladesh India. Ghillie Suits.com's material is also imported from over seas.
When a soldier receives his burlap, it comes on a 2" thick x 50-100 foot long roll. He then has to unroll the burlap color of his choice, cut a length he/she desires, (18"-22" long), then pull out the horizontal threads of each piece to get actual Jute thread in which he/she will attach to his uniform to produce a Ghillie Suit. He/She then has to do the same for each color that is required for His/Her Ghillie Suit. This tedious project requires time to cut the burlap, and then shred the burlap resulting in a 50% loss of original product.
With Ghillie Suits.com's Jute thread, our thread is cut into 18"-22" lengths, then those are dyed into eight different colors. These cut and dyed threads are then bundled together. The end result is a Jute thread pre-cut and dyed ready to assemble to Military clothing, BDU's, or onto netting to be worn over clothing, or to conceal an object.

Burlap material has knots through out it's Material, and is thick and thin in the thread used. This results in a bulkier material with week spots from the knots and thinner areas in the thread. Hence a heavier suit, with Less concealment ability. |
