QILO x Field Ethos Gen. II Sherp in Zaire Leopard

$160.00

This Safari Holiday ‘24 capsule was created in partnership with Field Ethos; a hunting/adventure/lifestyle magazine that shares our affinity for Rhodesian Brushstroke & Zaire Leopard.

THE SHERP:

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.

THE PATTERN:

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.

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