The Hollywood hero wore a shirt with bullet loops sewn in for his Nitro Express cartridges. Extracting two between his fingers to reload his double rifle during a charge.

Have you any safari clothing with sewn in large cartridge bullet loops? A shirt or safari vest?

I have a Beretta coat with 12-bore loops in the pockets. I don't think I have any safari NE sized loops. A cartirdge belt or cartridges holders with belt loops is far handier.

But I've played with the idea of the ideal "NitroExpress.com" safari hunting vest also doubling as a travel vest. My Tweed vest served the purpose on this trip. A cotton safari vest possibly with thin quilted design, would be much cooler. Tweed is excellent for cooler weather.

For travel and hunting large waist pickets for shotshells, cartridges, travel odds and ends, mobilr phones, sunglasses, glasses, etc. Button or stud closure so things don't fall out. Or to prevent pickpockets.

A loop from a higher hand pocket to allow pining up of the flaps. The higher pockets might be angled and useful as hand warmers.

Perhaps underneath the large bellows waist pockets another set of pockets, zip closing?

An inside left breast pocket for the passport, gunsl and hunting licence, slim wallet. Zip closing for security against loss, pickpockets.

Possibly a right side inside pocket as well. It might not get used when shooting.

Front zip closing. Or buttons? I prefer zip.

Back to bullet loops. For that Clarke Gable PH look maybe NE bullet loops? OR inside the waist pockets. OR Velcro inserts made from canvas Velcro inside the waist pockets. Able to be swapped and changed.

My prototype will be tailor made.
