Trap Hunting: LIFE Photos By Wallace Kirkland

Stumbled across these and had to share. I wore my 10" Bean Boots today in the snow and realized tonight that I was trying to look like these guys. I'm guessing these were taken in Maine or somewhere in Canada but I don't know for sure. Stormy Kromer hats, Maine Hunting Boots, wool plaid popovers, mackinaw cruisers, and Hudson's Bay-esque blanket coats make this one of my favorite LIFE sets.

Red Wing Oxblood Series

Really looking forward to these later this year. (via Redwing1905)

More Waterfowl In Flight: My Favorite Club Tie

This older English woven silk/wool by Robert Talbott is my favorite seasonal club tie. It's 3" at the widest point -- my preferred width -- and more substantial in feel than an all silk.

Winter Wool

I picked up these wool socks from Mast General Store in Knoxville back in November and they have really saved my feet from the cold we've been having here in Tennessee this winter. Not sure if these are available outside of the stores. Made in North Carolina. Warm and comfy.

Cabela's Chamois Shirt

This is why I scour thrift shops. A vintage USA Cabela's chamois would be a no-brainer anyway but the embroidered Canada Geese in flight made it that much more irresistible. (Some of you probably bought these new (looking at you, Main Line) in which case I will have to ask for your indulgence.

Wish they would bring this label back.

My wife had a little trouble with these until she finally smiled and said "Ok I can go for this."

Bellows pockets for expansion.

Don't even think about tucking this in.

Orvis Camo Tie

Somebody please buy it now or I might.

Certified Southern Snow Day

The snow here in Nashville this week means that the affordable Bosmere Wax Jacket (Made in England) can continue to prove itself a fantastic bargain by keeping the cold and moisture out while looking super at the same time.

My wife crocheted this scarf for me a several years ago and it's one of the warmest items I have.

 I still had to go to work today so the Wm. J. Mills Laptop Carryall was at my side.

Levi's and 10" Bison Leather Bean Boots always work well together.
