Hi Mark, another very nice shirt is the "Feather cloth shirt" by Filson. I just received two of them, one tan and one green, and am very pleased with the fabric. It's light enough to wear in 100 degree temperatures without the sleeves rolled up! I spend all day in the sun, and am happy to have found a shirt that will keep me out of the sun as much as possible. Anyway, it has bellows pockets but no epaulets, but really has the adventure/safari look. They cost me $61 dollars each. They also have the same style in many other fabrics. Check them out:

: I appreciate your help. With regard to LL Bean, I wasn't really looking for a close replica, just something which conveys that "adventure spirit" and the W&G does that quite nicely. Plus from what I've been able to gather they are, or were, a big name in adventure clothing business. Sean, thanks for the offer but unfortunately all of my shirts are large so I probably wouldn't be able to fit into the one you have. I'll try calling their number as it's listed on Indy's Diggs, that should possibly clear up whether they're defunct or not. I really want to see their catalogue.
: G'day mates!
