And/or more denim?

No photos, but today I'm wearing an SJC olive, two-button l/s polo shirt, with my glorious Wrangler cowboy cut jeans.

The jacket, cap and shirt from SJC.

The linen suit gets a lot of wear. I call this look ’Lenin on holiday’.

’Lenin on holiday’, taking some well earned time off from sending people to the Gulags :-)

Well, he did work himself into a stroke.

I see myself more as the pre-revolutionary, weightlifting Lenin, though.

Is that a rifle you are carrying? I assume it's a vintage one!

[Hilton]

Yes its a Mauser K98 in the original 7,92 kaliber. You are not allowed  to move outside  Longyearbyen, Svalbard  if not armed. I was planning to bring my 1912 Krag Jørgensen, but impossible these days to get a cartridge with the needed punch in 6,5mm suitable for the delicate chamber of the Krag. So the choice fell on the K98, powerful, and built like a tank :-)  Everything on the trip was vintage:-)

The Kar 98K is one of the most enjoyable and wonderfully ergonomic bolt action rifles to shoot. Good choice!

[Sean Longden]

So, is the rifle for protection against wild animals etc?

[Hilton]

Yes, mainly polar bears . And as you can see on this photo (75m from our camp 2 night)  very much a real necessity  :-) Guard duty all day/night is needed.

[Sean Longden]

That seems very scary and rather dangerous! And I get concerned about the foxes in my back garden!

Simon, look what double breasted jacket I was caught wearing today at a lawyer's convention in Orlando...

That's a classic old school look.

Compering the 2019 Chap Olympiad at the Thirle Vintage Weekend, last Sunday:



Wearing SJC breathable cotton shirt (lovely, though alas a tiny bit of fraying at the cuff on its third wash). Also SJC Spectators (not in picture).
