Ghillie suits for snipers.
3 NO’s? Lol. But no words. I guess the usual ‘NO Mob’ don’t have any nonsense words to offer with their ‘no’ ?

Well… in other words, it’s the clothes that old Scottish men used to wear, right? As a cosmetic for a British sniper event or a premium squad, there probably isn’t anything better than this.

GOOGLE Says:
During World War II, scout snipers and specialized units on all sides used field-crafted ghillie suits, modified uniforms, and natural foliage to achieve advanced concealment
Origins and Evolution
The Pioneers: The Lovat Scouts—a Scottish Highland regiment originally formed during the Boer War—pioneered the military use of ghillie suits and served as official sniper and reconnaissance units into WWII.
Field Craft: Unlike modern standardized synthetic suits, WWII ghillie garments were largely hand-made by soldiers using burlap from torn sandbags, netting from artillery dumps, and local vegetation.
Major Powers and Usage:
British & Commonwealth: Units like the Lovat Scouts and specialized reconnaissance teams utilized custom smocks, burlap-augmented ponchos, and sniper veils paired with the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T) rifle.
German (Wehrmacht / Waffen-SS): German snipers utilized specialized camouflage smocks (such as the Splinter or Plane Tree patterns) often augmented with loops to hold local foliage, netting, and burlap strips.
Soviet (Red Army): Scout-snipers (sokhaty) frequently relied on improvised winter-white camouflage overgarments or summer leaf-pattern suits (Amoeba pattern) alongside the Mosin-Nagant PU.
United States & Allies: While standard infantry relied on basic camouflage uniforms, specialized scout-sniper elements in the Pacific and European theaters improvised 3D texturing and local scrim to blend into jungles, hedgerows, or rubble.

They already added something similar, although, maybe not what you were talking about

Yeah, got all that. Not ghillie suits though. They are and were primarily used by snipers.
