Looks like have discountinued these. They were on sale, maybe close out, a few weeks ago and now they are not on their website. I liked them because they came in a tall size and all cotton. They still have the polyester blend. Hopefully it is just a problem with their supplier and they will get the all cotton version back online. NRA CRPA DRSS | ||

If they did discontinue them it would be a bummer. It's my favorite shirt to wear over there, or here for that matter. Dan Donarski Hunter's Horn Adventures Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 906-632-1947 www.huntershornadventures.com | |||

I actually prefer the poly blend trail shirts with big, but fewer, pockets. They don't wrinkle, seem cooler, and seem to dry faster. No trouble with ironing the old fashioned way on my two trips like with some synthetics. I wear them frequently when (not bow) hunting here too since I have them and I'm not in Africa.  _____________________ A successful man is one who earns more money than his wife can spend. | |||

That's a real shame -- it's getting harder and harder to find 100% cotton safari shirts and, for me, there's no substitute. I expect that I'll still be able to find them, I just won't be getting them for $40 anymore. Such is life. When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun. | |||

As to good cotton safari shirts I hope you will look at the Induna line on www.huntersheadquarters.net. Click on clothing. I think you will be most happy with this line of safari clothing. Better tomorrows! You can borrow money but you can not borrow time. Go hunting with your family. | |||

I have been very pleased with the Boyt Safari shirts. After 3 trips to Africa, they look good, launder well in the camps, are 100% cotton and are made to last. www.boytharness.com Not cheap, but worth it IMO. Regards, RCG | |||

I like the TAG Safari shirts. Take a look at them. They are still made of 100% cotton. BUTCH C'est Tout Bon (It is all good) | |||

Long Grass offers 100% cotton that is not made in China.  Our safari shirts are all made in Pietermaritzburg of South African grown cotton. They have our full 100% satisfaction guarantee for life. Oh, and check our new website. We're still working on it, but most of it is up and running: www.LONG-GRASS.com Please let me know what you think. | |||

Man am I glad I listened to the little birdie on my shoulder. I gave mine away to the "Learner" PH when I left camp. When I got home I had a feeling I should get some replacements and bought 3 more. I really enjoy them but no more wearing them around the house. Frank | |||

Fellas, spoke to Cabela's Corporate today about another matter. Brought up the Serengeti shirt at the end of the conversation. Bottom line is the Serengeti is alive and well. it's in their fall clothing catelogue. Corp Communications dude says if they ever get rid of them he's leaving! If you get the big bound book from them they are on page 307. Dan Donarski Hunter's Horn Adventures Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 906-632-1947 www.huntershornadventures.com | |||

That is good to hear. I thought that might be the case. It seems to me they try to clear out excess inventory this time of year but that the shirts are back in the next catalog. At least that seems to have been the pattern before. In this financial environment who knows though and I never try to figure out the logic of any corporate type. Happiness is a warm gun | |||

I have wondered the same thing. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Don't you know  , its so They keep camp staff busy re sowing them in place once the button gets pulled off. Got to earn that Tip, you know.. | |||

Because I am too old and too fat to fit into my military uniform.  I have not tried Long Grass shirts yet but probably will. I prefer all cotton even though it has some drawbacks to synthetic. I have seen Melody's shooting sticks. They are first rate. She was kind enough to donate a set to Detroit SCI. Everyone who saw them liked them. Happiness is a warm gun | |||

Just finished my Plains game hunt in Namibia at Jan Oelofse hunting lodge. Used both Cabela's Safari series shirts with thick thorn bush conditions and they worked great and had good protection. Also used Bass pro shops Bob Timberlake pants which also worked to protect from thornbush and other sticky plant thorns encountered. Recommend both. | |||

Technically speaking they are not epaulettes. They are shoulder straps (or in French a passant) to which epaulettes or shoulder boards are attached. Although normally considered as ornamental for officers clothing, they do have one practical feature which is that anything carried on a strap, like a rifle or binoculars or camera, won't slip off the shoulder as easily because the button acts as a stop. And that concludes our military uniforms lesson of the day. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

Hopefully they get a better olive/green shirt like the older version. The "current" version green ("two colour") is too shiny and light coloured.  One of my older ones which has probably fallen apart since (from use)! If they did discontinue I have some stockpiled. | |||

Agreed, although the first one I bought had most of the front buttons fall off. I had them resewn and bought another one. I think the first one was an aberration. I've gotten three safaris out of mine, from 2005 through this year, and I often wear them casually, as well. | |||

Good news! The Serengeti Safari shirt is back. If you received the latest Cabela's shooting catalog you will find it on page 156 in a choice of 7 colors. the stock numbers are ZZ 90-2464, ZZ 90-2465, ZZ 90-2466, and ZZ 90-2467. I ordered 4 of them online yesterday without any problem. | |||

man, one look at the Boyt clothing and pricing; and I know where SCI gets their line. Thoe of you who have been to Africa; does anyone really use the bullet loops on the shirt? They look handy, but a dozen rounds in 416 Rigby or bigger calibers would weigh you down, IMHO. Rich | |||

Speaking of the shirts...I have a decent supply of them due to a relationship I have with Cabela's. They're all boxed up right now headed to Reno. Feel free to call my office and leave contact information. I might have what you're looking for color and size-wise. I have long and short sleeved. 312 226 4047 | |||

So what's the final word? I just got on cabelas.com and they only had them listed in the bargain cave. At that, they only had Small and 5x. Tom Addleman tom@dirtnapgear.com | |||

They are available as stated above in several posts. Actually, they are on page 153 of the 2010 Shooting Catalog, not page 156. The long sleeve shirts are $29.95. There is room for all of God's creatures....right next to the mashed potatoes. http://texaspredatorposse.ipbhost.com/   | |||

Bob, I too saw them in the catalog and tried to order online. Item numbers would not come up so I called and was told they were discontinued. ****************************************************************** R.

I don't like the Tag Safari shirts I bought at all and wouldn't buy them again. I settled on the Under Armour Guide gear shirts and the Beretta shooting shirts. The UA being my favorite. | |||

Some like redheads, some like blondes. I like the TAG shirts, they are light, cotton and colors are good. If there is a gripe it is that sometimes the buttons are not sewn on good. Mike | |||

Regarding the little shoulder thingies, I replace the little button on the right shoulder with a nice big one. Keeps my sling (not a carry strap) from sliding off. | |||
