Very interesting - I was walking past Eddie Bauer the other day and noticed that they had brought back a "safari" theme - I think the outback/adventure look is back in vogue (hasn't been since the 1980's)
Front pleats - I'm glad SOME general clothing line got it right finally!
I'm actually looking for a couple pair of these shirts to use and wear on daily adventures/travels and to have the pleats already in place would be a big plus. My first shirt I ever bought was a Cabelas stone color in cotton/poly blend. After a considerable amount of searching, I finally was able to find a "close-enough" fabric to have my seamstress make the pleats out of. After all was said and done, I paid about the same as a Todds and 1/2 as much as Magnoli's and got a "close-enough" shirt out of the deal. It was fine for a couple of days but the cotton/poly blend was just too uncomfortable for me. I would have rather saved up a little more and bought a Magnoli instead.
How are the epaulettes on the shirt? Are they fairly SA to LC?
Thanks for posting the shirt. Hopefully places like Cabelas as well will start doing the same with the pleats.
Neer mind the epaulets on these shirts - the collar is extremely annoying - the pics really don't show it - but the wings of the collar are really short - it looks very odd on the shirt IMO -- it was the deal breaker when I went in to see it.
The epaulets have two crossed straps across them... like an 'X'. It looks a little silly, but I still plan on getting one. It's the closest off the rack Close-Enough™ I've seen, ever.
Hey Snakewhip. Glad to see your message. Nice to see some Canadian Indygear tips. I will go and check out this shirt. There is an H&M across from where I work.
Thanks for the tip.
best
