Neat! Do you wear it for hiking?

No I don't wear it hiking. It is in excellent condition, and it's just too risky out there in the woods. I do have a pair of black tweed knickers that I wear, though.

Here's a link to a page in my website where I have assembled pictures of women hikers and campers from the 1910 -1930s:

I never thought about an adventure outfit, haha... I'm inspired I will have to dig in my closet and see what I can come up with!
BTW, great outfits everyone! I'm really liking the equestrian styled ones!

Camp Hale? Of which Camp Hale do you speak?

Being a Colorado girl that is immediately where I assumed - but every time I assume I make an...well, you know, out of myself! I would have felt really silly when I replied and was all excited about our Camp Hale and you were like "um, not that one." But it is and now I can get all excited! It is such a big part of history here and especially for those of us with a skiing obsession! They have a great little tribute to it in the ski museum in Vail and of course it is easy to go by the site if you go up to Leadville! Thanks for posting the picture - I have to say that I have rarely (in fact , possibly never) seen a Camp Hale picture with a lady in it. Now I want to go back to every museum and look to see if there are!

Maybe the "mountain" part was the part that mattered to him. For some of us that is the most important thing! Give us mountains or give us death!!

Pardon me for peeking, m'ladies, but what a fantastic resource for my darling bride! Now I know where to point her to find her own kit. Thanks!

Speaking of kits - does anyone have a basic kit that has a vintage flair? I know the guys have kit components out the wazoo - any ladies? I will see about pictures of some of the things I have been collecting - to give my outdoor adventures some flair!

I was at Target last night, and they have leather bomber style jackets on clearance for about 20 dollars. They were very Amelia Earhart looking and reminded me of this thread!

That would be fun to have, especially at that price. To bad it seems like our closest Target (30 miles?) never seems to have very good deals. Things that go on sale at other peoples Targets don't at ours. I will look to see next time I am there though (fits in well with my jacket obsession.)

Mrs. Merl, I think it is also online.
Let's see...here is is. Hmmmm...it is MUCH cuter in person. And the clearance in store seems to be more than online.

Sam, that is a dandy photo. Thanks for sharing it.
Ladies, I just got a wonderful item in the mail - a late 1910s hiking skirt:
If you are just wanting the look, you might seek out some of the early stuff from Banana Republic. They did lots of khaki skirts in this style, but without the great pockets.

Now *those* are pockets! They look a wee bit impractical, but darling. I never would've expected pockets like that on a 1910s skirt.
