Tag and Cabelas safari jackets

[Philip Glass]

Going on my first safari in Limpopo in August. Do hunters wear these safari jackets or are they just to cliche?

Just wear what ever you normally hunt in. No need for anything special for a RSA safari. Spend the $$$ on the hunt!

All my hunting has been in Montana. Temperatures ranging from 30 degrees to minus 30. Hard to judge hunting in 70 degree weather.

I alternated between the Redhead ripstop shirt in brown and the Dickie's FLEX Ripstop shirt in OD green. Both were 100% cotton or close to it. The only camo I had on my first trip was my fleece pullover and my insulated vest. I did think about getting one of the reproduction Vietnam jungle shirts from Rothco as they are lightweight and 100% cotton ripstop but the price has gone up.

The only socks I wore other than compression socks on the flight were Darn Tough socks. I wear them everyday and if they ever wear out they are guaranteed for life.

I'd love to be as stylish as Tom Leoni but, unlike him, I could never pull it off !

The Redhead ripstop shirt is on sale for $17 right now. I just bought another in green.

I already have the cabelas safari shirts and jacket, bought many years ago and never worn. They’re a tan color

@BWB: If your shirts are Cabela’s Safari Shirts from “many years ago” they are likely “Great quality” so hold onto them !! - those older Serengeti shirts were made of a durable cotton canvas with plenty of pockets and held up for many years. Their current shirts are real cheap “crap” and they no longer even make the Serengeti line —- too expensive to produce. Like most of Cabela’s current clothing (since they went Public and later merged with Bass Pro) = ALL Down hill.

I have a couple which I have unfortunately outgrown. Besides the pockets and the snap front, the best thing about these shirts were the articulated shoulders. There was no binding when you swung your arms.
