Safari shirt?

Filson feather cloth short sleeve. Look on ebay!


These are good - as is any poplin material shirt. Many years ago I picked up half a dozen poplin shirts from Columbia and they were long lasting and good fitting. Of course they dont make them any more...
 
Hi, Can anyone recommend a cotton long sleeve safari shirt?.
Something that would look great on the hunt as well as a casual day out.
Is this for your actual Safari? I always wear the Safari shirts my outfitter supplies…

I had these made by a local tailor here, in a lightweight cotton serge. Ironically, I told him to copy Roger Moore’s 007 James Bond’s Safari Shirts in the film “Octopussy”. Later, I would find out that that bastard Moore was one of Hollywood’s biggest anti hunters.

Each cost me the equivalent of $7 in 1986. I still follow this pattern when I want to wear Safari shirts which I won’t be tucking. If you prefer a Safari shirt which you would like to tuck, then the bottom two pockets should be ommitted.

This is the Orvis shirt that I absolutely love. This on is olive colored and I bought another one in British tan. Had both of the shirts hemmed so I can wear them un-tucked. Very comfortable.

It’s smart to dress in layers. I typically wore a t-shirt, the shirt pictured above, a vest and a light jacket. I’d shed clothes as needed into the afternoon and put them back on as the sun went down.

The only thing I’ve changed is the vest is now a Filson Mackinaw because I don’t like zipper noise on a hunt if I can avoid it.
 


they should have what you are looking for.
 
Tag Safari shirts are good ones. Also, Ruggedwear shirts are comfortable. I use both in long and short sleeve for most of my hunting.
I love Tag Safari, but Iv ordered two of there long sleeve trail shirts and they both have the same flaw in the same spot. The collar buttons are sewn on in a way that it pinch's the fabric and causes creases going down to the second button. I took one to my tailor and she found a flaw in the fabric that they covered up with the button. Not a big deal they offered to replace the shirt for free. But two shirts with the same flaw. There not cheap shirts I expected a little more.
Tags shirts are the best, double stiching, made a little oversized to account for shrinkage . I actually like the thickness of there fabric.
