Dapper and a Southpaw to boot. With that tightly rolled tobacco leaf, possibly from the shark shaped island in the Carribean, I'm curious as to what is in the cup in front of MarketHunter. When waterfowl hunting and upland hunting when cold enough, I prefer waxed cotton mixed in with the scents like stagnant water, decaying matter, beaver spray, lubricating oil, burnt powder, wet dog and neutralized damp waterfowl. Depending on just how far back one goes to look at the hunting attire, whether it be pot-hunting, market hunting or even turn of the 20th century sportsmen, I consider most of the prints to be staged to portray an image or status of the time in moleskin and velveteens as the pot-hunters and early market hunters undoubtly smelled of wet dog, burnt black powder, sulfur, spent fulminate, carbon and damp fowl as well as being covered with soot from top hat to toe. I prefer waxed cotton because unlike leather it can be lightweight without a liner and it will shed water, briars, locust tree thorns and all types of swamp grass that will cut most new fangled materials to shreds. Gortex is fine in a steady state, but fatigues on pressure.
Kind Regards,
