Two late-season shirts, two different fabrics
GUNNER's late-season lineup gives you a real choice: a cotton twill shirt in Mossy Oak Bottomland or a corduroy shirt in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass. Both are long-sleeve, both carry GUNNER embroidery, and both are built for the back half of the season. The difference comes down to fabric feel, pattern, and how each one fits into your layering routine.
This comparison sticks to what the catalog confirms. Where the supplied information doesn't cover a detail, I'll say so plainly rather than guess.
What each shirt is made of
-
The Late Season Long Sleeve Shirt Mossy Oak OG Bottomland: Enzyme-washed Mossy Oak Bottomland cotton twill with a back pleat, pleated front pockets, and GUNNER embroidery. Cotton twill is a smooth, woven fabric. The enzyme wash softens it from the start, and the back pleat adds room across the shoulders.

-
Late Season Long Sleeve Corduroy Mossy Oak OG Shadow Grass: Mossy Oak Shadow Grass corduroy with GUNNER embroidery, pleated pockets, and enough stretch to keep up with you. Corduroy has a textured, ribbed surface and this version includes stretch, which changes how it moves with you compared with the cotton twill.

Fabric feel and movement
The Bottomland shirt is cotton twill that's been enzyme-washed, so it arrives with a broken-in feel rather than a stiff off-the-rack finish. The back pleat gives you extra range across the shoulders, which helps when you're reaching, climbing, or swinging a gun.
The Shadow Grass corduroy shirt takes a different approach. Corduroy is thicker and more textured, and the catalog notes it has enough stretch to keep up with you. That stretch is the key difference if you plan to move a lot in it. Neither shirt's warmth or insulation is specified in the supplied information, so treat both as outer layers you'd pair with other clothing rather than standalone cold-weather protection.
Sizing and fit options side by side
The two shirts don't offer the same size range. That alone may decide it for some shoppers.
- Bottomland cotton twill: Available in Small, Medium, Large, XL, XXL, and 3XL. The widest size range of the two.
- Shadow Grass corduroy: Available in Small, Medium, Large, and XL. No XXL or 3XL listed in the supplied variants.
- Fit guidance: The catalog does not provide chest measurements, sleeve lengths, or a fit description beyond the back pleat on the twill shirt. If you're between sizes, the size range itself may be the deciding factor.
Camo pattern: Bottomland vs Shadow Grass
Bottomland is a darker, timber-oriented pattern, while Shadow Grass is built around grass and marsh tones. The catalog doesn't specify which environments each pattern is designed for, so the practical choice is to match the pattern to the cover you'll actually be hunting. If your late-season sits are in flooded timber or dark woods, Bottomland is the more natural fit. If you're in grass or CRP, Shadow Grass aligns better.
Both shirts carry GUNNER embroidery and pleated pockets, so the branding and storage details are consistent across the two.
Care and durability: what the catalog confirms
The supplied product records do not include care instructions for either shirt. No washing temperature, drying method, or ironing guidance is listed. That's a real limitation if you want to know how the enzyme-washed cotton or the stretch corduroy will hold up after repeated washing.
What the catalog does confirm is the fabric composition: cotton twill for the Bottomland shirt and corduroy with stretch for the Shadow Grass shirt. Beyond that, follow the care label on the garment when it arrives. Neither shirt has a listed protective coating, waterproof finish, or thermal rating in the supplied information.
Price and value
At catalog price, the Bottomland cotton twill is USD 52.50 (comparison price USD 105.00), and the Shadow Grass corduroy is USD 62.50 (comparison price USD 125.00). The corduroy costs USD 10 more at the listed price.
Whether that difference is worth it depends on which fabric you prefer and whether the corduroy's stretch matters to you. The cotton twill offers a broader size range for less money; the corduroy offers a heavier, textured fabric with stretch in a grass pattern.
How to decide
Choose the Late Season Long Sleeve Shirt in Mossy Oak Bottomland if you want a softer, broken-in cotton twill, need a size above XL, or prefer a darker timber pattern. It's the more affordable option and the one with the widest size availability.
Choose the Late Season Long Sleeve Corduroy in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass if you want a textured, stretch-equipped fabric, prefer a grass pattern, and your size falls within Small through XL. The extra cost buys you a different fabric feel rather than a documented performance advantage.
If you're still unsure, the size range is the hardest constraint. Shoppers needing XXL or 3XL have one clear option in the supplied catalog.
