But I guess my take is to tone it all down, or better still transform it. I much prefer when Simon takes a panama hat and gets it in sisal, or a safari shirt and has it in lilac.

Boots:While you don’t need to wear sturdy shoes every day, at least one pair of safari boots will make your trip nicer! For example, wearing long pants and greens is advised when gorilla trekking. When on foot, wearing colors that blend well into the environment and a good pair of safari boots is always recommended. I personally prefer the ripstop (below), because it feels a touch lighter and I like the texture, but it’s not a big difference. Trousers waist sizes: Small 27 to 31". Medium 31 to 35". Large 35 to 39". X Large 39 to 43". XX Large 43 to 47". Safari Pants: We recommend neutral-colored pants as they’re great at hiding dirt and can match most shirt colors.

Keep it classic with beige and khaki-green

Travel Waterbottle: When we’re uncertain about the water supply we use our Grayl Purifier. It’s come in exceptionally handy around Africa. Mine is a Medium Regular, which has a perfect length. There is a slight compromise on the sleeve, which would ideally be an inch longer, but it’s a small point on vintage, which is often so hard to size right. Plus I often push the sleeves up in warm weather. In terms of sizing, my advice would be to avoid the Large, which is so long that even friends that are taller than me (so over 6’1’’) find it too long.

The US Army 1st pattern tropical trousers are easily identified by the exposed buttons and the poplin (non- ripstop) green fabric. Was excited to get this as the last of my original Vietnam issue fatigues wore out about 30 years ago. This has the same weight and feel of the originals and was much less expensive than I saw elsewhere.

I do find something odd in what is and isnt cultural appropriation. Why is it inappropriate to wear clothes associated with a certain identity but it’s ok to do it from the military or french work wear? There are camouflage versions too, but I don’t like camo as much. It’s very subjective, but camo for me is more obviously military, without the countercultural associations of the plain OG. It feels more towards glorifying warfare. That being said, neutral colors do a great job of hiding dirt and dust, which will be plenty on a drive or walk through the bush. White clothes aren’t going to stay white very long, and dark colors are believed to attract tsetse flies. Trust us; you do not want to become familiar with tsetse flies! As a result, it became my default outer layer for casual combinations this summer, such as a T-shirt and workwear chinos at the weekend ( example here ). Or jeans. Or shorts.

I’ve shot it with two outfits here, and the one shown at top is a deliberately smart colour combination: navy knitted polo, white jeans, brown-suede loafers. The same colours would work just as well with more formal materials too, such as cream flannels, a blue oxford shirt, and a navy cashmere knit.

Clearly the American military isn’t familiar with the concept of not fixing stuff that “ain’t broke.” The third and final version of this classic uniform was made from 1964 to 1989 and is by far the most common of the various OG-107 editions.
