GHILLIE SUIT
A ghillie suit is a type of camouflage clothing designed to resemble the background environment – such as foliage. Typically, it is a net or cloth garment covered in loose strips of burlap (hessian), cloth, twine, or jute sometimes made to look like leaves and twigs, and optionally augmented with foliage from the area.
Military personnel, police, hunters, and nature photographers may wear a ghillie suit to blend into their surroundings and to conceal themselves from enemies or targets. The suit gives the wearer's outline a three-dimensional breakup, rather than a linear one. When manufactured correctly, the suit will move in the wind in the same way as surrounding foliage.
Hunters and soldiers may use ghillie suits with designs named for rural folk-spirits such as the kikimora of the swamps or the leshy of the forests.
