Abstract
An improved camouflaged product comprising an open mesh, net substrate to which is bonded a sheet material. This sheet is colored in the desired pattern and bonded to a substrate along spaced lines of attachment between adjacent lines of bonding to the net substrate. Separate lobes are formed on each side of the lines of stitching to simulate the appearance of natural objects of the terrain such as leaves or foliage and then are heated to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit to wrinkle and deluster the camouflage lobes thereby significantly enhancing camouflaged properties, such as creating a wrinkled three-dimensional effect and significantly decreasing luster.
