Very unique look! It's nice to know some people like to be different from the standard t-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes getup.

My usual attire varies from my brown stetson fedora, flannel shirts, jeans and boots to my newly acquired stetson derby and great coat. Mostly my dress is very adventurous. In fact quite often I am told that I look like I should be off on some far-flung expedition with Allan Quatermain or Indiana Jones.

Central Park

Are you in Central Park??

 

[Highlander]

Great looking outfit. I love the look, and awesome boots.

 

[greatestescaper]

Thanks for all the comments. Its actually Harriman State Park. And I'm in the market for a new pack, anyone have suggestions beside the Army Navy stores?

Ok, I really like this shirt from J. L. Powell: The Kenya Shirt

...but come on, 140 bucks? Does anyone know an inexpensive alternative? Someone making something similar?

 

[greatestescaper]

Anyone have some home-made adventure films with their gear. I have a sort of interesting one I made with a friend who fancies herself a sorceress.

 

[Raider]

here is my adventure/aviator look, i'm having a vest made to match the one worn by sean connery in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which with the boots, breeches and a hat i think would be very cool. the boots and breeches i got from whatpriceglory, the jacket and cap a local leather shop the goggles from a halcyon, and the scarf from uswings.

Here's a pic of my dad in the late 40's....He's wearing his cav breeches and boots from the late 30's, a Mackinaw coat, and a flying cap....He flew my mom to New Mexico in his single engine.

That's a heck of a picture!

Amazing pic. Certainly beats mine. I should see if I can round up some of my great grandmother in Africa during the Second World War. She was an RN.

What was it that Stanley said to Livingston?

I was walking through the jungle and I smelled something cooking!
I looked around to see what was cooking.
They was cooking me!

We were down in the Texas Hill country this weekend at a friend's house and the scenery has always reminded me of Southern Africa, so I brought some gear along for an impromtu photoshoot. Imagine taking a breather on the veranda after taking a ride through the bush:

Filson short sleeve feather weight poplin shirt, and WPG boots, spurs, and breeches. The belt comes from Colonel Littleton. I say Mojave, care for a sundowner?

Cheers!

Baggers,
I have the same WPG boots and a pair of their green wool breeches. I need some khaki! I was very pleased with the breeches. The boots were a little less than what I was hoping for....but (on reflection) great for the price.

I am not too impressed with the WPG stuff as what I have bought was such low quality. It was fine for costume usage but I would never really take it anywhere that mattered. Looks fine in photos though.
