Dave BushTell us about your hunting clothing
I see a lot of pictures of guys posing with their game and most of the time the hunters look very casual. Anyone hunt in a tweed hunting jacket and take a tea break in the afternoon. You know, a proper hunting safari.

Steve AhrenbergI've often wondered the same. I've wondered why guys hunt in Africa in the clothing they do? Is it a uniform that is expected?
I don't see the point dressing like Stewart Granger.

SnowwolfeFleece, sometimes wind proof, sometimes water proof. Warm weather hunting, military bdu pants.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

lavacaI'm sorry, was I supposed to dress for dinner?
On my last safari, heard about a client who wanted to be photographed with his lion in a suit. So he hunted in a suit and tie. Sounds a bit onerous when it's 100 degrees + F, but each to his own.
