Hello Gander Mountain has a great shirt and pants made with rip stop material. I use it exclusively. High resistance to thorn tears. Also resist soiling. Also when wet dry very quickly. Like $40 for pants and same for shirts both long sleeve and short. Larry | |||

I suppose handy when 'Phants are too close?  | |||

I think the zipper extends all the way to the back. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

At his age, yes, with or without Elephants, soil resistance in pants is a high priority for Larry :-) | |||

The way the Hook deals with pigs, they have to be durable.  | |||

I think it depends on whether you like natural or synthetic materials, camo or traditional garb and your budget. | |||

Good one, Todd. Sorry Biebs, I hope I didn't open up a can of worms here. I think these comments are so unfair as I know you have never given any shit to anyone on AR!

Gander Mountain had a Craig Boddington safari line, but I can't find them anywhere, I am guessing they are closed out. Too bad Willis and Geiger isn't around anymore eh? | |||

The Willis & Geiger stuff was the real deal. Authentic bush cloth done right. I still have two of their LS safari shirts. Mike ______________ DSC DRSS (again) SCI Life NRA Life Sables Life Mzuri IPHA "To be a Marine is enough." | |||

I wore 511 on my safari two years ago. Also wore it while on contract in Iraq two years. have been wearing it here in the US and finally had two pair of my five pair of pants wear out. That's over 5 years of wear. Seems they were worth every cent my company paid for them. .395 Family Member DRSS, po' boy member Political correctness is nothing but liberal enforced censorship | |||

I also wore the 5.11 shirts as well as Columbia shirts in Namibia in September. The LL Bean pants with zip off pant legs were great - needed the warmth in the early am, but unzipped before lunch. Only got one small tear in 2 weeks of thorn bushes, my legs and arms were not as lucky.......

You should try wearing briefs, will help with that soiling problem. A nappy may work too. Specialist Outfitters and Big Game Hounds An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. - Winston Churchill | |||

Just a heads up on the Gander mountain clothes line,,, They do have some good quallity hunting apparell, I have a store within 30 miles of my house,,, BUTT,,, their sizing is never consistent. Be prepared if you order on line to possibly have to send back. I have to try on every single item I buy there to make sure it fits. I have asked their staff what the deal is and they just say,, better try them on. I have held up pants next to each other with the same size on it and there be better than 4 inches difference in length,, same brand, same size same color etc.... you can make more money, you can not make more time | |||

I really liked my JL Powell shirts but I don't think they make anymore. I just got some Boyt Harness shirts. I like them but have yet to take afield to test | |||

Carhartts. Wore them on safari, wear them at work. Comfortable, durable, available everywhere. The three pairs of Carhartt work pants that I took to Africa in '09 are still in great shape, and remind me of Africa every time I put them on...an unexpected bonus at work! | |||

 Looks like he could be from San Francisco and should not wear white any where near 'Phants. | |||

Well, Eddie Bauer is adding (back) a line of sporting clothes geared towards the hunter. You can find them online. On another note, I was in Filson yesterday morning at the flagship store and I swear I had walked into the Gap or something...really odd...guys wearing skinny jeans, hipster looking outfits trying to sell FIlson goods. Their stuff has become de rigueur for the metrosexuals of Seattle. Ladies with their husbands were trying on waxed hats and jackets saying how the folks "Back home" will think it's lovely.... It was like a bizzaro world event... | |||

I don't think the Filson situation will improve under current management, I read a piece about the change in control/management a year or so back and noted the then new CEO had come over from the Ralph Lauren/Polo organazation. I know that calling up there and finding anyone who knows anything about old line Filson products is a waste of time... | |||
