Now that Noel Howard is offering his reproduction I'm sure there isn't as much interest in the other shirt possiblitities, but I know the W&G Balloon Cloth shirt was a popular item and I thought I'd let all who wanted to get a Balloon Cloth Shirt for hot weather and can't now that W&G is out of business know that I've found a very similar shirt.

It's the "Feather Cloth" shirt sold by the Filson Company. The fabric is very similar- extremely lightweight. The style is also a field shirt, but without epaulettes and button-up sleeves. The closest color is "Desert Tan" which is a very light tan with a hint of pink in it. A very nice looking shirt. So, if you were looking to get Balloon Cloth shirt for your next safari and can't I think this is a reasonable alternative.

Filson: 1-800-624-0201

Cheers,
