True Timber Camo - Factory visit with VIDEO

Driving up I-26 to work on a mountain trout story in N.C., I took advantage of an invitation from the folks at True Timber to stop by their factory, which is conveniently located at Exit 15. True Timber camo is manufactured here in Spartanburg, South Carolina in a 250,000 square foot warehouse that is clearly visible along the interstate. Corporate sales director Randall Howell gave Lowcountryoutdoors.com the full tour of the operation which included viewing the huge 'printing presses' that use a heat transfer process to exchange the True Timber camo patterns from paper spools to large rolls of fabric. The fabric can range from cotton to polyester or even their "high performance" fabrics like Amerisuede - which is sort of a light-weight chamois. True Timber Camo offers a new era of digital effects that are fade resistant, and with more colors and detail for all-season concealment. Founded in 2004, True Timber is family-owned and CEO Paige Sellars told me, "We design camo patterns and we produce them here, or we can license them out. We have worked with camo clothes for kids and ladies, and we strive to reach all of the sporting community with quality products." True Timber has a complete range of camo patterns for any scenario and they can be viewed at www.truetimber.com
