Sources for safari shirts?
I am looking for some web sites/retailers of close-enough safari shirts for everyday non-costume adventure wear. If you have any favorite shirts you like to wear that look great with your leather jacket, please share. You know, something Indy would have worn had there not been a costume designer around. A khaki shirt for a regular guy who hates button down collars.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
My personal favorite close enough shirt is the Cabelas.
http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... ISO-8859-1
They have a short sleeve version, too.
L Bean has something, as well, that's a little lighter weight. But I prefer the Cabelas

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
Duluth Trading Co. has some great options Jake.
So does Orvis, but they are noticeably more expensive.
You may also find something at Sportsman's Guide, and believe it or not, Old Navy has a nice couple of adventure shirts, too.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
Filson is good, but they're so expensive!
With that said, I guess I should be quiet because we buy some pretty expensive gear to get the right Indy look...
Anyway, I like the Cabelas Safari shirt myself. It's a great close-enough and it's cheap.

You can also try US WINGS:
http://www.uswings.com/khakis.asp
Their safari shirt is very close to a 1940's military copy.
One thing, if you live in a hot climate, Columbia's collection of nylon safari shirts cannot be beat. (Columbia.com).

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
Right now Eddie Bauer is selling a very nice close enough shirt in three colors, blue, green, and tan for about $45.00. I just bought two.

Talking about the canvas ones? Look a bit heavy for my tastes, but for the canvas-loving crowd, they look good at a fair price.alphared6 wrote:Right now Eddie Bauer is selling a very nice close enough shirt in three colors, blue, green, and tan for about $45.00. I just bought two.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
Ghosthost,
When you say a WPG shirt, are you referring to their Indy shirt ? Or some other non-Indy close-enough generic adventure shirt that they sell. See 1st post at top of thread.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
Bought this one recently, and highly recommend it:
http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/clot ... product_36#
It is a taupe color, and if you order, I would also recommend ordering a size down from what you normally wear. I ordered a L but had to get a M. If you added epaulets and made it light khaki, it might give the Indy shirt a run for its money.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
It's a pity the smallest size available in Tall is an XL, especially as I'm hearing that they run large.
Ah, well. I wonder if they're on sale because they are being discontinued, of if we can expect to see the full range of sizes available at some point in the future.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
Here is the Bean shirt: http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... SR&feat=sr
I was just wearing it in Wyoming with jeans and a Wested LC. Fit right in.
I know it is an Indy shirt and not a "everyday style" but the Todd's shirt is great to wear too.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
I have the Duluth Trading Co. shirt in a size large and that's what I normally wear. Check their size chart. I'm a 42 chest and I would not want to squeeze into a medium sized shirt. It's a nice light-weight shirt that converts from long to short sleeve, but it only comes in Military Brown.

search for 'British Army surplus, desert opps shirt, khaki' and you should find a few cheap ones of these:

Too bad the only color is green.

I saw something similar to the Target find at my local Target, they had a light tan, black, and green. I'm not sure they still have 'em, I wish I had bought one.

Just as I feared, Target didn't have either shirt I had in mind. I'm looking online as I type this and found the first shirt mentioned.

I was hoping they still carried the shirt I saw before.

Here's a fairly inexpensive short sleeved option I found at Old Navy. The shirt's currently on sale and comes in several colors.

That Old Navy one is veeeery tempting. I like that's available in tall, and it's not expensive.

Here's one from Express clothing has a military style shirt in many different colours. They are pretty nice, I've seen them in person. Not too bad at $60 US basically.

Value Village you'd be surprised what you find
Re: Sources for safari shirts?
Sorry guys I was away... here is a link on that Target shirt.
It is made by Converse. The local store that I saw it at only had small.
I seemed to be made out of a cotton blend.
They list it as a shirt jacket but it was kinda thin for a jacket but it is long for all you tall people.
Just got to get rid of that olive color.

I was looking through this thread yesterday an noticed the shirt at Target.
After work I went over to the Mens department (I work at Target) and found the shirt in 5 colors and as a bonus it's on sale for $20.
Colors: Dark Blue. Black, Khaki, Burgundy and Grey.
Nice light weight 100% cotton.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
Should be on sale till Saturday.
New sales set on Sunday.
The original post on the shirt I believe was posted in September so they have had them for a while.
I usually don't get over to that part of the store since I work in the warehouse at the opposite end of the store.

Re: Sources for safari shirts?
I just picked 2 of these up at Target on sale for $20. It's NOT the jacket shirt posted above and doesn't have the bands sewn down the front, only on the pockets. No shoulder straps either. My tag calls the color khaki but it's a little on the mustard side to me. The way it's made looks somewhat distressed already which is kind of nice.
