At Mossy Oak, we’ve always believed in honoring the roots of the hunt and the spirit of the outdoors. That’s why we’re proud to team up again with AFTCO, a family-owned leader in performance fishing gear, to bring back something that embodies both tradition and purpose: the legendary Original Fishing Short, now available in Bottomland camouflage.
When you combine a product that has stood the test of time since 1989 with a camo pattern born from the ground up in 1986, you get more than just gear; you get tradition you can wear. Whether you’re chasing bass at first light or sitting around a campfire at dusk, the Original Fishing Short in Bottomland is designed to go where the wild things are.
Built by folks who love early mornings and the outdoors, these classic shorts offer the durability, comfort, and utility you expect from AFTCO, now in a pattern that’s helped hunters blend into nature for nearly four decades. It’s a true crossover piece, suitable for the field, the boat, or the backyard fish fry.
More than just a product, this collaboration celebrates shared values. Both Mossy Oak and AFTCO are third-generation, family-run companies rooted in a love for the outdoors and a dedication to protecting it. From conservation partnerships to on-the-ground efforts, we work hard to safeguard the land and water that raised us, so future generations can enjoy the same wonder we experienced.
The Shedd family is as good as it gets. Family, tradition, taking care of the land and wildlife, old school woodsmanship… AFTCO mirrors all of our same ideals on the water, and it’s an honor to work on a project like this with one of the best families and most legendary brands in fishing,” said a Daniel Haas of Mossy Oak.
The Original Fishing Short in Mossy Oak Bottomland is now available at AFTCO.com and through authorized AFTCO retailers.
