Anyone got an old hunting and fishing catalog? I'd like to see some scans from the flyfishing and boots pages. Trying to put together a vintage fishing outfit.

That's not true, he never came anywhere near my tabloids!
oh boiled peanuts!
I have Bean catalogs from the 30's - 50's. I'll help if I can.
These would get you in the hunt:

if oyu could send me some scans of the boot pages in the mid 30's to early 40's that would be great.

Might be fun to share some with the group as well.

"The Libeled Lady" not only has a funny fishing scene but shows three outfits, gear and different casting styles. Watch it for the fashions, stay for the great baddinage.

Thought I'd just put them here - kinda neat.
From a 1938 LL Bean catalog.

Here is a 1928 Brooks Brothers ad with a fishing scene if that helps.

People think they are so rebellious and original, when really they are just banal, boring and dumb.
That image strongly resembles traditional English country wear. A tattersall check shirt, Harris tweed suit, knit tie and a trilby. For those unfamiliar with the trilby, it is much like a fedora, however it has a narrower brim. Very odd looking really.
Great stuff guys, makes sense on how the Bean stuff has evolved over the years. The "duck shoes" are so common here in New England, no one would dare the rainy weather without them. Mine are going on 20 years or so old.

all things retro: Rivendell bicycles, Martin guitars, Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers.
I think in English terms, a 'Trilby' was originally what we take a Fedora to be- a felt hat- but more commonly with a centre-dent. But it later became a name for the archetypal English country sporting style Tweed cloth variety- with a narrower brim and the centr dent- around the turn of the 20thC.Originally Posted by wackyvorlon
The kind to match yer Norfolk, Plus-Fours and a nice pair of pierced Brogues.
Maybe a Deerstalker instead of the Trilby...
That's what I see.
