And when it gets a bit warmer

Click on the picture for a full image, the blogging software cuts the picture in half.  Not sure if I'd ever go hiking in a bow tie.  A bit twee I know,  but without the bow-tie the outfit is a bit Gerbirgsjager.  Perhaps the suspenders and bow tie are over kill, dunno yet how I feel.

The shirt is a 1960's Canadian tropical wool army shirt, the braces, belt and shorts are all Filson, Beau-Ties supplied the bow tie.  The Puukko and belt pouch are both vintage e-bay finds.

It's still chilly in the White Mountains

Per a couple of e-mailed requests (just post comments people!)  some info on the above outfit. The shirt is a vintage Woolrich chamois cloth, Shorts are Filson double tin, socks are some old kilt hose (I wear Smartwool liner socks under them), tie is a Unas find, the belt pouch is a vintage 1920's geologist pouch (filled with a notebook, mechanical pencil and some maps).  The sweater a Barbour storm half-zip.  It's a pretty niffty water-proof/wind-proof deal that saw a lot of use this past winter. I first thought that the elbow and shoulder patches were suede but they are something called Alcantara.  I've own 2 other Barbour sweaters and this is the only one thats quality has not disappointed me.
