I remember feeling miserably uncomfotable on the plane wearing Jock type briefs.I think boxer shorts or whatever there called are much more comfortable when travelling on the plane or while your in a hot country.I had decided to go to a nearby department store and get some new fruit of the looms (the simple kind)before a trip and to my dissapointment they were out.So, I bought some of the longer type and man was it hell on the plane.As soon as I got off the plane I never wore them again and without getting into details,this uncomforable feeling was with me throughout my vacation and for months afterwards.They really heated things up inside.

I think that I'll flight in olive or khaky shirt and pants. dirty is less evident on them.
When I went to Namibia two years ago, I was wearing a white polo, with the patch of a Sardinian diving club. I put all my documents, bills and money in a Swiss officer leather bag, that I cleaned and greased some week before I start. at the end of the flight I was striped as a zebra, the sling has worked. And I had a little accident too when I was eating at the Frankfurt airport, because beeing touched strongly, I distributed some mustard on my polo ...... at the end I was pummeled in yellow and striped in brown .... If I bring again that white polo I'll leave it in the baggage. This is the reason of my choice.

LOL.... This entire thread is too funny. At any rate, I'll not fashion police anyone, I'm not that knowledgeable about fashion....but I am more than a little knowledgeable about fighting. I've been fighting professionally about 8 years now. On the confines of a plane neither shorts nor sandals would slow me down one bit.....shorts would be my preference along with teva style sandals.

I just wear the same thing I wear every day: Wranglers, short-sleeve button up shirt (big pockets are nice), small-brimmed hat or cap, and sturdy leather shoes. I work in that, play in that, and generally hunt in that, so I'm quite comfortable flying in it. I see no reason to "step outside my box" to look less conspicuous. As one poster said, Customs or someone else is gonna screw with my anyway, it's Murphy's law.

After my buddy's luggage got lost and had to hunt 6 days in Zambia with his travel clothes, I always wear my hunting pants socks and shoes, and then have a safari shirt folded in my carry-on.

With the dress styles out today, I wear khaki (darker, not British) pants, print shirts of light green, a brown leather belt, and brown solid leather laced shoes. Sometimes, the shirt was one of Cabela's travel shirts This outfit is what I hunt in also. The print shirt makes a good camo without offending anyone or looking like camo (against the law in some countries).
I had to travel worldwide for awhile in a job I had. Being comfortable on long plane rides was important. My clothing was 100% cotton, thus safe from hot irons, etc.

One thing about the Wranglers, sometimes those brass buttons arond the pockets set off the metal detectors (Wichita Mid-Continent for example). I've started wearing their Riatas on flights.

'Virgin Blue' stewardesses are encouraged to wear g-strings or thongs. Maybe you should give them a try.

Why would anyone need a cowboy hat on a 12 hour airplane flight?

500gr: Ihope this is not a trap and that I am not bait. However, wearing a cowboy hat is kind of a way of life, much like what most other normal persons routinely wear on a day to day basis. I will hunt in a cap if windy and will hunt in a wide brimmed hat(not a cowboy hat necessarily) if not windy. I would not wear a cowboy hat for 12 hours in an airplane no more than I would on a one hour flight for that matter, however it would be close by. Cowboy mentality is hard to understand and cannot be explained in these few lines. A big hat is useful to my way of life and certainly not intended to offend anyone, Thanks Dr.C

I don't know,probably the same reason why someone would need an umbrella to hunt buffalo in Africa!

But Nitrox, if you kiss a frog you get a prince...and that is an UGLY thought.

I was a Pilot
for a major airline for nearly 30 years and saw attire change from the best you owned to tank tops and flip flops. I'm not offended by anything someone wears as long as as long as the person and clothing are clean. I am proud of my heritage and feel that everyone else should feel the same whether theirs is similar to mine or not. I also am proud to be identified as a hunter and am willing to share my reasons and motivations with those who don't. Political correctness is for those who allow others to do their thinking. Wear what you like and celebrate and be thankful that others do the same.

That image was sent to me by a lady member of AR, but your comment is not a nice thought.

However this set of underwear for Mr Shootaway comes recommended by the hosts of AR itself!


This might also come in handy for the young fella to keep his T-shirt clean from dribbles on the long flight.

God forbid. An Englishman does not travel without his umbrella!

Perfect as a swagger stick when rolled.

Keeps the drain drops off ones head.

Out in the midday sun removes the need for a solar spine protector!

Indeed a pith helmet is much more de rigeur.

That bib has me laughing!

Having spent a good deal of my career as a homicide investigator, I used to get my travel clothes off the rack---from the coroner's office. Sure, some of items had holes and a few stains, but the price was right!!

That is indeed a funny, and shootaway deserves the title, for whatever reason, because his/its posts are just plain queer, unfathomable to any normal person. Jorge really hit the mark with that one.

jorge has an excellent point about dressing in complete covering with non flammables, such as synthetics. Nylon melts into your skin if you're unlucky enough to have the bird slide down the runway on its belly and catch fire.

I wear cotton all over, causal, no shorts, substantial shoes, and a baseball cap, because I like baseball caps.
