I’m not trying to troll, I’m genuinely curious. Thinking about deer specifically, it doesn’t seem like visual camouflage would really help much when hunting them. Deer sense predators by sensitive hearing (big ears) and smell (long snout). Their eyes are on the sides of their head, so they detect motion rather than high-resolution.

So trying to blend in with the surroundings doesn’t seem to be an advantage in this case. Assuming all this, what’s the point of clothing with camo print on it?

    Love articles of interest! Going through their season on ivy now, the military history season is up next for me.

      Yeah, it’s a fun show. I never thought I would care about a fashion podcast. Avery does an awesome job.

      I happened to be passing by the Maryhill Museum a few years ago, and had to stop in to see the Théâtre de la Mode dolls. Had I not heard the episode about them I don’t think I would have appreciated the exhibit nearly as much.
