Default Getting back into bowhunting, GWW or Day One

So I finally got back into bowhunting this year, after not hunting for 8-9 years(since high school). I've been reading quite a bit on the forum trying to learn some useful stuff, and I figured I better sign up, seems like a neat community on here.
This season so far has been more scounting than hunting since I am new to the area (Saranac Lake NY), but I got a few spots I feel real good about. I hunt with a longbow from the ground, maybe a treestand in the future but all the areas I've been hunting are pretty remote and on state land, so hauling a tree stand around at this point doesn't seem feasible.
I was looking for some help on updating my camo clothing since it is in hurting shape, old military surplus stuff and crappy cabelas stuff that barely fits.
I am debating between ASAT from day one camo (in fleece or bucksuede), or fall brown wolfskin from gray wolf woolens. At this point time and money aren't much of an issue I would rather pick someone out and be set up well for next year than buy something crappy for the rest of the season. I have fabric samples from jeff at GWW, still waiting on samples from greg at day one. I really like the browns, tans, and blacks of both patterns and I am looking to get something I can wear for the whole season. Warmth also isn't much of an issue since I am a avid hiker/climber/skier and have enough patagonia layers for any condition.
I have read most of the posts on GWW/predator camo/ASAT but there hasn't been much talk on that stuff lately so I wanted to hear some opinions on what works better.

First, welcome to the forum! Lots of good advice and conversations to be had here.

Regarding camo...over the years I've come to the conclusion that the deer aren't impressed with the latest (over-priced) camo patterns. I've observed no difference in their behavior whether I'm wearing actual hunting camo or old military fatigues. As long as it breaks up your outline and blends into the background, it will work. Therefore, just find something that blends in and is comfortable and you're in business. If money is no option to you, just spend it on your bow and other equipment or a good tree stand. That stuff actually can make a difference, as opposed to spending extra on the latest camo at Cabelas.
