Well I have my fedora and my wested leather jacket. I am thinking about going cheap on the rest of the items. I have $125 wolverine boarhide boots that are pretty awesome. All I need is shirts and pants and I want them on the cheap. Does anyone know about the Cabelas safari shirt and how accurate they are? Also where is a cheap place to get the pants?

Just search internet military surplus stores for close enough pants and shirts and you'll find them very cheap.Unless you have a Surplus store near you.I found this cheap close enough shirt,only thing that ruined it is shipping minimum charge seems to be $10 and theres a 9$ fee for low orders, mine was at about $50 and i got the fee. So thats atleast $19 just to order so i changed my mind on ordering. But this shirt is cheap:

Does anyone know about the Cabelas safari shirt and how accurate they are?

Well for sometime the Cabelas shirts were the rave around here. Here's some quotes from some members. (We probably need to consider this shirt on the mainsite.)

Renderking Fisk
"This Cabela shirt has longer selves by a good quarter of an inch, and the body of the shirt is roomier compared to both LL. Bean Safari shirts. The price is right on these shirts, and you actually get more for the money- there’s just more too these Cabela shirts then the Made in China version LL. Bean now offers. This Cabela shirt also has a greater range of motion then the LL. Bean China shirts and won’t untuck all the way when you move your hands all the way up. "

"Initial thoughts, everyone is right, the color is very good.
Alittle more sandyish then the current color of my recipe.
The color is similar to that of computer beige (putty???).

Unfortunately I hate the material. I am an all cotton kind of guy and the poly combo doesn't do it for me. I may return it for that reason.

The fit is excellent. Similar to Renderking, I'm 5'11.5, about 170lbs.
The medium tall was perfect,
(I have the dreaded orangutang arms affliction...).
Much better the the LLBean fit in the same size.

Pockets are alittle big, but i like the pen holder, and I really don't mind the darker buttons. And the empulets are alittle short. "

Dalexs,
"That was my reaction. But after awhile it grows on you.

Actually for 3 season wear, in my opinion, I like it better. The shirt is probably the most durable shirt in my inventory. The cotton/poly blend, I find that it drys much faster than an all cotton shirt. In real hot weather I will agree with you, this shirt is bear to wear and the all cotton shirt out performs this cotton/poly. Stains, just wipe right off. I've had pizza sauce, wine, nasty coffee, and an errant fall of the whip strike my sleeves and the stains just wipe away. If you are a slob, the shirt keeps you looking snappy.

And the price, my GOD!

If you do a "plus", "minus" tabulation, I think you might see your answer better.

Just my .02.... "

If you do a search for Cabelas in the General Gear category, you'll find many more comments about the shirt.

I am curious to see how the workmanship and price are still holding up.

If you get one, let us know.

Cheers & Welcome,
Pyroxene

I have the Cabelas shirt (stone) and it is very good. The pleat(s) don't go down the whole shirt (only the pockets) but it's still very good for it's price! I recommend it

Chaddy - Check out this thread, it just popped up today. At $10, I think Colby hit your number. - J

P.S. I ordered both the shirt AND the pants I put a link too...the shirt seems like a great cheap shirt which is good enough for Halloween and not bad even among gearheads, minus the need for epaulets and a bit more pleating. The pants, however, are not that close, but I'm giving them a shot anyway. They *might* be close enough in color that they pass for Halloween, but not close enough in color and style for gearheads.

I just recently bought two of the Cabelas Safari shirts. The buttons are two color but otherwise I think they look fine . Also, I chose the stone color over tan. I figured it looked more screen accurate .

I have a half-dozen of their shirts, and I have found them to be comfortable and rugged.
