Cabelas sells canvas wall tents and fly tents as well. Wear, simulated or actual, is what will give the authenticity. Canvas is canvas, change out nylon for natural on the cordage and you're all set.

Oh - well, that gives me an excuse to visit the Cabelas they've built fairly close to me.. I haven't been yet. Thanks.

I've never been in a Cabela's store, I get the catalog. You may end up having to look in a catalog.
I've heard that the stores have everything in the catalog, and more.

They just opened one across town but I haven't made it over there yet.

Wow... I wonder why I haven't been notified of these replies [huh]...

Anway, thanks once again for all of your help. I've been doing a lot of homemade stuff lately, and so far I've got a safari shirt and a banded-collar shirt, and I'm going to get Grandma to start on a jacket as soon as I get back from Canada.

I have yet to decide on trousers, though I'll probably go with a heavy canvas material off-the-shelf. My hat is slowly being narrowed down, though I don't know when I'll ever get that bought. Boots are also narrowed down to three (both of these I will be posting about shortly) and the other odds and ends are also starting to fall together. Thanks again for your help!

Mojave,

Did you get to keep a bunch of lance corporals when you retired? How are you going to put one of those things up? :D

Man Nick.. those Ghurka pants from Bill's Khakis are pretty cool. Wonder if they're available in other colors? How much were they (or is that a rude question?)?

No it isn't rude, they aren;t offered on the Bills site got them on the bay for $56 nwt, Bills has the shorts on the site and they are $145 so I can imagine what the pants would be. If you want some thing similar, look in the English Patient thread at Magnolis pants.

lol I figured it'd be great for a bunch of FLoungers on a weekend adventure. A few martinis, put up the tent, a few more martinis, relax in the camp chairs.... Just keep them away from the Rigbys!

Nick, good show! I like the Wolseley a lot. Good catch on the Ghurka pants, too. I need to find a pair of those, too. Are you going to be at the QM? Hope so. We'll need you there for the adventure crowd.

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,

You need a Purdey or H&H leaning against the rail. Tell you what, buy two of each and I'll keep a pair handy for you up here. :D

By all means! And cheers, indeed. That backdrop does scream Africa. No need for BT's photoshopping skills here. And I'll be willing to bet it was about as hot as Africa, too! The high in Phoenix was 110 when I landed there today, and we have a bit of a monsoon right now. Very humid and Africa-like. Great ensemble, Baggers. Don't you wish we could get away with those boots on a daily basis?
