You’ve seen our Safari collections I, II, III.

Now we’ve upped the ante with a Safari Winter ‘24 Capsule - because even in the desert/grasslands it gets cold at night.

This Safari capsule was created in partnership with Field Ethos; a hunting/adventure/lifestyle magazine that shares our affinity for Rhodesian Brushstroke & Zaire Leopard.

One of these camos was used in war crimes. The other was not.

Sherps: $160
Sherpa Bucket Hats: $40

Our Gen. II Sherp is an innovation in the marketplace of sherpas.

Double-layered with a microfleece velour lining, it excels at heat retention while providing a soft, comfy texture for your arms while worn with just a t-shirt.

It needs to be felt and worn in-person to truly appreciate - like wearing a cozy blanket near a warm fireplace.

Fits standard/true to size.
Order the same size that you would for most tees/tops.

Rhodesian Brushstroke is a brushstroke-type camouflage pattern used by the Rhodesian Security Forces from 1965 until its replacement by a vertical lizard stripe in 1980.

It was the default camouflage appearing on battledress of the Rhodesian Army and British South Africa Police, although used in smaller quantities by INTAF personnel. The design was also used on uniforms issued to South African Special Forces for clandestine operations. A similar pattern is fielded by the Zimbabwe National Army.

Rhodesian Brushstroke consists of large, contrasting, shapes tailored to break up the outline of an object. Like most disruptive camouflage, the pattern is dependent on countershading, using hues with high-intensity contrast or noticeable differences in chromaticity.

TRIALS: While developing a new disruptive camouflage pattern in the 2000, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) evaluated Rhodesian Brushstroke as one of the three best military camouflage patterns previously developed, along with Canadian Pattern (CADPAT) and Tiger Stripe. None of the three patterns were adopted because the USMC desired a more distinctive design.

One of the more interesting camouflage designs to come out of the 1970s period in Africa was the "leopard spot" design.

Although also produced for Chad and Libya, Zaire had its own version that incorporated more browns and had an overall darker composition. This camouflage design has been particularly associated with the Kamanyola Division (Mobutu Sese Seko’s personal elite unit), and with various foreign units who went through commando training at the Centre d'Entrainement Commando at Kota Koli.

Original versions of the design were reputedly produced in Belgium, but later uniforms were most certainly imported from Asian factories. This design would continue to be worn sporadically well into the 1990s.
