We received an email from
Men’s Vogue recently concerning the November issue, which is on newsstands now. Though you might not consider Men’s Vogue a sporting magazine—it depends on your definition of sporting—this issue touts the upland sporting life with a
cheeky piece about how they hunt pheasant and other upland birds across the pond. Tweed is
de rigor and preferable your grandfather’s tweed. And the mustier smelling the better. Of course the Brits and Scots make up for their foul, I mean fowl, clothing with their guns. Dare I say best quality Purdeys with a few bespoke Holloway & Naughton guns thrown in. The Italians make their presence a la Rizzini and Fabbri, with nary a Browning, Remington, or Kimber to be seen. Do take a look, however, at those side-by-sides and under/overs (know as an over-and-under here in the US) and if that isn't art you need a nice sip of single malt to clear your head. So if you’d like to gear up for the remainder of hunting season the issue also includes wares from some of the finest purveyors of hunting kits—for when you fancy gunning UK-style.

Hey, you've got to give them credit, they're writing about hunting in a postive manner. Nice pictures too.

I think I'll stick to my Browning Gold and standard brush pants, haha.

I hear you Marc. Tweed? In briars? You'll come out a fuzzy bleeding mess.
