Calling Panache

The helmet, the position of the hand, the glasses and expression - the combination makes me think:
"Well, the expedition had just entered Zimbabwe ... or was it Namibia? No matter, where was I? Ah yes, Zimbabwe ..."

You make me miss that place, was only there once, lived a few minutes from the Dundee MI store, very interesting place that was.

My Dad orders from them often. I gave them a try this past summer and am delighted with the long sleeved safari shirt I received from them.

Cabela's is great (although nothing like the old Army and Navy Cooperative Society in London waaay back when!).

Very pithy, Beloitpiper, very pithy.

I prefer "Rhodesia" myself.

Ah-hem, I do say! We were in darkest Africa when suddenly a tribe of natives surprised our hunting party in the Congo forest! Before we could react, the west wind blew my kilt high, exposing me to the natives...That day, they made me their king.

A-hem, quite, yes, quite so. I do say!

I already have a shirt like that. Technically it's a surplus Sheriff's shirt, but it is tan with epaulets and military-type breast pockets, so I think it'll do.

I had the same thing happen while on a expedition in New Guinea. Only they made me a GOD !

You must check them for sure.....before I discovered kilts they were responsible for keeping me decently covered. Now if we could convince them to cary kilts
