: 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.

I'm sitting here wearing my W & G balloon shirt as I write this, and have to say if the Filson version is anywhere near as good, they have a great item. I'm still hopeful that we're still fighting the good fight to convince LandsEnd to carry the field gear of the now defunct Willis and Geiger. Regards. Michaelson
