Nice to see somebody of your age so enthusiastic about their hobby and obviously respects and looks after his kit!

I hope you continue to build up your kit and your knowledge and pass it on to your own kids in years to come. All power to ya!

Hi Clouston, apologies for being late with this comment. That is a lovely set of gear you've got. A couple of years ago I bought a new jacket and rucksack, both Berghaus. My selection was based on what I (as a newbie) thought was good quality and value for money. However, the more I see this type of traditional kit, canvas, leather, tweeds etc., I must say it really is lovely and appeals to me more so than camouflage too. I'd like to ask you something. I notice your jacket and shirt open half-way (i.e. they don't open fully down the front). Is that an advantage over a full-length zip/buttons? Also, may I ask, what is the make/brand of the waist-coat. Thanks for sharing.

Hi mike! Glad you like the gear mate! Some people prefer the half length zips and some don't - I would say it's advantage would be being a bit warmer but depending on the climate this could be its downfall too. I quite like pullover designs as I never have any jackets open always zipped as I don't like the sides flapping but that's personal preference. The waistcoat is made by Le Chameau mate, I'm sorry to say I don't know the model but I hope that helps :).

Cameron,

Most impressive collection mate. Especially like the green waistcoat, mind if I ask where you got it?

Thanks for posting!

Cheers Tom! It's made by Le Chameau mate, I got it in a trade with Macaroon on here and I'm not aware of the model name unfortunately. With a bit of Google fu you might be able to find it. Hope this helps :)
