Not when I bought it

Fran, are you on a personal quest to destroy every overpriced/gimmick hunting product? Why be a lawyer when your true calling is to be a consumer advocate?

Oh.... and doyou reallywear whitie tighties? Maybe if you wore boxers you would loosen up some.[:-];):D

When did you buy it? maybe I don't[&:]

Sit tight. I've been busy doing a ton of legwork the last couple days closing a major instrument deal at one of my hospitals that will allow me to have a very relaxed elk hunt in a couple weeks and give me a bunch more of that elusive disposable income inquired about earlier.

I'll try to find some time tonight to capture some thoughts on here.

LMAO - Hey man, if I think somebody is getting raked or isblowing smoke up our collective asses, Itake a few minutes to gather up theavailable info, and run thered flag up the pole- no matter how unpopular that viewpoint may be.Just call it as I see it. Nothing more.

I've got no agenda. Nobody is scratching my back or greasing my palms, I'mnot angling for anything for free, and I don't want to be on anyone's pro staff. All I know is, if you're trying to hawk pants for $300, you'd better understand that, sooner or later, somebody is going to step up andwant to know why apair of BDU-looking camopantscosts morethan a pair ofVersace's.

I asked the question, and the public responded. We actually got some colorable answers as towhy this guy's stuff costs so much - and even met some satisfied customers. Now are those answers good enough tochange my opinion (that the clothes are overpriced)? No.

But it was an informative, enjoyable discussion nonetheless.



And I happen to think that I look delightful in my whitie tighties. People ask me everyday how I ever got to be so hot. *blush*

I can't justify spending that much on any article of clothing. I don't think I'd even consider buying it, if it spotted the deer for you;). I'm gonna keep using my hand-me-down camo, I think I can find better stuff to spend my money on.

RE: Gray Wolf Woolens? What's the fuss all about?
 

Actually you didn’t make any effort to gather any info.. If you did you’d have come to the same conclusion I did.. GWW Wolfskin garments are priced accordingly to other comparable garments from Cabelas etc…

You keep quoting the wool stuff and forcing the apples to oranges argument.. Wool is expensive, don’t buy it, I didn’t..

And exactly who is getting raked??? Up until now there's been nothing but positive word of mouth by real customers who used GWW products and gave their honest feedback.. Sorry Robin Hood,you're not looking out for the little guy who's getting raked by GWW..


You do, you’re bashing GWW and you’re not even a customer.. The whole tone of your posts and the poll is flaming.. Not sure what your issue is with GWW, I would totally understand if you were an unhappy customer but you’re not even that..

I think your sensibilities are offended that a company can charge what they like when they have no Gucci, Rolex or Fendi prestige whatsoever.

You have to be my favorite poster LOL!!

I think the idea of a $300 pair of camo pants is asinine. However, this argument could be used for women's purses, more specifically coach purses.[:@]

My wife wanted one of these stupid $400 coach purses. I thought it was ludicrous and tried telling her nogay pursewas worth that.She looked me dead in the eyes and said I don't think a bow and arrow is worth a nickel.[&o]

I immediately retreated and conceded the argument.Long story short, she got the purse. [&o]I learned that sometimes it makes sense to lose the battle in orderto win the war. Did I mention I'm getting a Hoyt Katera. ;)

RE: Gray Wolf Woolens? What's the fuss all about?
 

Whitehorn - actually, I did. I found out that "wolfskin" is really just polyester warp knit with a waterproof coating - the same thing that Cabela's or WhitewaterOutdoorspeddles everyday. I'd be willing to bet that 90% of us didn't know that before this whole conversation began.

I showed you a $50 Predator camo coat made of the same "warp knit" (without the waterproofing).

We've had a few people come forward, who actually own the stuff - and tell us that they eitherwouldn't buy it again, or would only buy the base model warp-poly unlined.

Conversely, we've heard from satisfied customers, like you, GregMO and WKPTodd.

So, by way of review, we've heard:
[ul][*]The Good[*]The Mixed Emotions[*]And the Ugly.[/ul]
That, my friend, is as impartial as it gets. Contrary to what you may believe - I couldn't care less about the prestigious corporate name. In fact, I'm usually raging against the machine and pullingfor the little guy.

I have no dog in this fight. I'm just trolling the waters to see if I can figure out why his pants cost $189 (unlined with pockets) and mine cost $29.99 at Gander Mountain. A 600% jump in price is nothing to sneeze at.
