Holmes has a great idea, except for the fact that most (all) of us aren't quite as at peace with our inner redneck to hunt africa in overalls!

Those would be $200 wool Filsons, son! Not exactly your run-o-the-mill redneck bibs! Actually, according to Jeff Foxworthy, I just may be a redneck...

And, being a tall skinny feller, I generally wear 'spenders in the field so my britches don't fall down around my knees just when I'm ready to cap the big one Gotta keep up appearances, eh?!

Seriously, the bibs are my winter wear. Gets cold in Wyoming. In the summer, I use a vest that has numerous pockets, several of which hold large cartridges like they were made for it. I don't know if these are photo vests or what. I pick them up at surplus stores. The vests are inexpensive (imported), so when I damage one in the scrub I'm only out $30-35.

One of the most interesting big bore carriers I've ever seen was worn by an old boy who was a mountain man nut. His carrier was a split leather 'necklace' about 2" wide and hung around his neck almost like a scarf. It held 5 or 6 rounds (45-90s), right at his upper chest. An interesting concept.
