You're a doll, Friday! I suspected as much. The lining is very similar to that of some late 50s suit pants I have. Thanks for looking!
Hi
I was looking at Duluth Trading Company's pants and found this:

It looks a LOT like a safari jacket, but is out of (I assume) much heavier material. The whole 15 pockets thing has me considering one for my shooting coach activities. Anybody got one of these?
Later
I don't have any direct experience with Duluth beyond getting their catalogs for the last few years. I was interested in getting some of their fire hose cloth pants, but decided to hold off after wondering for too long if the fabric would be too heavy for the hot humid Texas climate I live in. That would be my only caution about the jacket you're looking at. If you don't mind having something you may only be able to wear for three seasons, then go for it. I'm just concerned the fabric will be too warm for Summer.
Anyone have any ideas what era these Scout pants are? All the ones I've seen had the red piping on the pockets. These have nothing like that.
Thanks!
Hi guys! I just picked up some neat trousers from a local used clothing store for $7.50.
At a glance I thought they were old military, but when I got home I found this:

There's a BSA collector at our local scout store here in West Los Angeles, but I can't find his email for you.
Dinerman - I know it's been awhile, but - can you tell me the brand/where you got those boots, please?
That's rather more 'Tweed Pub Crawl' around the city of angels. Not 'Great Outdoors' adventuring in Yosemite or Namibia though.
Let's *think* outdoors and adventure gents please.
+1!Old Navy sells a pretty good looking safari shirt, and I couldn't pass it up; it was on sale at the store:

It's 100% cotton, unlike my polyester/cotton blend Cabela's shirt which I also like. I'm a fan of safari shirts, to me they are the epitome of the classic adventurer look, and they go with my style in general.
