Wow, good stuff here! Keep it coming please.

I have a theory that the use of hunter camouflage came from military camouflage.

I think once marketers saw the use of camouflage in the military (and IMO, in general, it's just a uniform to differentiate side A from side B) they applied clothing used for humans-"hunting"-humans and applied it to humans-hunting-animals.

Vets hunting in their old cammis may have had something to do with popularizing camouflage as well.

Just IMO.
