    Modern Safari inspired Jackets for the Urban Jungle Explorer (Pics)

    I find myself in possession of about eight tanned deerskins that I would like to turn into a safari jacket. However, I can't find patterns anywhere. Does anyone know where one might pick up a size 44 or 44L pattern?

    Golden Era Hunting Equipment

    Very nice! I especially like the coat with the half belt. If I ever have the chance to attempt and elg I will most certainly have to get one.

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    Blame it on global warming . . . ;)

    Akubra hemp range

    Well, having read the entire thread, I still don't have enough of an answer to induce me to buy one. I guess I'll have to wait, especially since I wear a long to extra-long oval. If the Range is that stiff I doubt I would find it comfortable unless DM can import one in the proper shape for me...

    I want this house so badly, it isn't funny!

    :D Come to L.A. and visit Hollyhock House some time. It totally escapes me how a man who designed the most earthquake-proof building in Tokyo could in the same decade build a home that has to be heavily repaired every time we have a Richtor 5 or greater temblor. I suppose you can call that...

    Akubra Riverina safari-ized

    This has been most interesting and informative. My usual safari wears a zebra skin but I just 'safarized' a IJ. I think a Lawrance puggaree is in order . . . In fact, I may just get two of them for when I buy a better safari hat!

    The Cheese thread

    I didn't feel up to reading this entire thread so ignore me if someone has already mentioned it, but . . . there simply is nothing like five-year-old Cougar Gold! You buy a tin a year and put them in the back of the fridge. When it reaches the five year mark, break out a couple of bottles of...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    It hasn't been a very good tomato or zucchini year but the chard and the flageolet beans are doing very well. The avocado will be near falling down next year there are so many fruits on it and the orchids are coming along nicely. When the next cattleya opens in a week or so, I'll post pix. I...

    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    accuratereloading.com? I know the place well, as does Chasseur. We also occasionally visit http://nitroexpress.com, another site devoted to the shooting and appreciation of double rifles. Philip, which country are you operating out of, Tanzania? I'd love to go there, having had wonderful...

    I want this house so badly, it isn't funny!

    A class in art history back in my upper division days in the late '60's. Nineteenth and Twentieth Century American Architecture, Art 2XXA & B, Professor Carrot presiding. He was a brilliant lecturer; suave, dapper ladies' man and first rate wit. RIP, Professor Carrot.

    The Perfect Suit

    I wonder what the chances of it playing on NPR this side of the pond might be. Probably pretty slim. Pity.

    A professional grade. Are we to assume that you are in the business, Phillip?

    I want this house so badly, it isn't funny!

    Falling Water, like so many of Wright's work, looks lovely but is entirely unlivable. The people who had him design it moved out after only one year because of the noise and constant damp. His Prairie Houses are marvelous but so many of the others . . . I want to live here. Tichenor House...

    A hat fit for a future king

    Heh! It's like going to a Safari Club Convention. You walk in the door, take a deep breath and smelllllllllll . . . the money!

    Fedora Lounge Club Tie

    And it arrived today and it is gorgeous. The tie with my black suit, a white shirt, a gold pocket square . . . I simply must get a steel grey fedora!

    Off in the morning!!!!!

    Man, that brings back memories of the cabin my maternal grandparents' friends owned up near Helena, MT. The fishing wasn't any good because the stream was too small but the chokecherry bushes were loaded. Mashed, sweetened and poured over home-made ice cream, they were a small boy's idea of...

    Boater or Panama?

    I've got an entire drawer of flat caps and want a homburg but am bang alongside you on boaters.
