Rhodesian Brushstroke Set

The classic Rhodesian Brushstroke camo has been updated and upgraded since our Safari Season I release.

This latest collection includes the EDC Mk. II Short update - featuring a change in fabrication to Ripstop Stretch material for increased durability, as well as a zippered fly and button closure for better EDC function.

We also introduced a resort shirt to match, as well as joggers and bucket hats (both constructed of ripstop stretch) to complete the set.

Strichtarn (Raindrop Camo) Set

The Strichtarn Set has been updated since our Safari Season II release.

While Season II featured a greenish/grey dominant variant of the pattern, the new Season III features the more commonly seen tan-dominant variant.

East German Strichtarn (Raindrop Camo) started off as a European camo, but was notably used by forces in South Africa & Rwanda - hence its inclusion in our Safari Collection series.

This latest collection includes the EDC Mk. II Short update - featuring a change in fabrication to Ripstop Stretch material for increased durability, as well as a zippered fly and button closure for better EDC function.

The Short is also accompanied by a Resort Shirt & Bucket Hat to match.

South African Giraffe Set

The Giraffe Set has also experienced a major refresh since season I.

While our original Giraffe Set was bright orange, the new “South African Giraffe” pattern is neutral, muted, and based on an extremely rare experimental pattern used by South African Paratroopers in the 1980s. You can learn more about this pattern here.

Like the other sets above, our Giraffe print also includes the EDC Mk. II Short update - featuring a change in fabrication to Ripstop Stretch material for increased durability, as well as a zippered fly and button closure for better EDC function.

The Giraffe Set features Shorts, Resort Shirts, and Bucket Hats.

“Elephant Skin” Set

“Elephant Skin” - a pattern commonly seen on Air Jordan 3’s and ubiquitous in the streetwear/sneakerhead community.

We have historically run iconic animal prints that are associated with the African Safari experience. The Elephant Skin is the latest development of this series.

The Elephant Skin set features the EDC Short Mk. II & Resort Shirt.


Rhodesian Arid Resort Shirt

The Rhodesian Arid EDC Short from Safari Season I now has a Resort Shirt companion piece to match.

It is based on the historical but extremely rare Rhodesian Brushstroke Arid pattern. Very few pictures of this niche variant are known to exist.
