Another Clothing Question

[Hunt anything]

In my experience although expensive the thick cotton Westley Richards shirts and pants have been the best keeping Tetsee flies from biting through

Fortunately tetse flies don’t like the way I taste! In Mozambique they drove my PH crazy and pretty much left me alone. Thankful that they did, one bit me on the hand and I thought someone put a cigarette out on my hand.

You can swish all you want with a gnu tail, but they will find a spot, like the edge of your back that does NOT rest against the seat cushion and nail you. The PH would usually not kill them, but once and a while he would catch one and pull its wings off for spite.

I picked up an all-cotton shirt at the Safari Outdoor store in Pretoria last year which I particularly like. It is the Serengeti shirt by Ruggedwear. It gets softer every time I wash it but still has enough heft to drape well. More importantly, it is roomy in the belly area so the shirt isn't tight across my midriff.

I was in Safari Outdoor a couple of weeks ago, I should’ve looked for shirts especially ones with plenty of room in the belly!

Nice! I have given away all my safari hunting shirts without a vent. Cotton with a vent in the back has proven to be the best for me in both short and long sleeves.
