I have done enough hunting trips to Africa that I figure that I can wear any damn thing that pleases me ... That said ... I often wear a safari vest with a zillion pockets and am always trying to figure out where anything is in all those pockets ... Usually while a customs guys is standing there wondering where these guys come from ???

I have two Boyt safari jackets, one in khaki and one bush green, they came with cartridge loops..

I have used them several times in Africa while hunting elephant...in up to 40 degrees centigrade, very comfortable and the fabric give excellent thorn protection..

Sadly they are not made anymore..

I absolutely love my Boyt Safari Jacket. Pondoro nailed it - it hits that perfect balance point.

It's also my favorite light jacket around the house. I love the look people give me when I go out to dinner - it's that perfect balance of "safari WTF" and "SAFARI, Hell Yeah!".

I love watching people in Orange County freak out.

PS: I also have a Cabela's safari jacket. It's just not even remotely in the same league. The Boyt Stuff, sadly discontinued, it outstanding.
