Tacticool or Metrosexual? You Decide

While reading one of our favorite blogs, Soldier Systems, I came across an article about the “Travel Shirt”. Apparently the owner of Beyond Tactical came up with it and has been wearing around for a while now. There’s a photo in the article and I must say, I’m not feeling it. Looks a little too feminine to me.

For starters I’m not a big fan of “tactical clothing” for everyday wear to begin with, I get a kick out of the SHOT Show uniform every time I go. But this doesn’t even go in that direction, I can’t put my finger on it I think it kinda reminds me of something out of early 90′s Europe with a touch of tactical by way of sleeve pockets, maybe Germany in a “touch my monkey” kinda way?

Anyway, for those of you that might be more in touch with your feminine side (of course you will say “secure in your manhood”), Beyond apparently has said if there’s enough interest they will produce it for the masses.

This article is not meant to be a dig on Beyond they make great stuff, but this shirt was just too much fun to pass up. You of course can form your own opinion.

    Monkey-touching Euro-Metro. No doubt. I got on a short-lived 3-pair 5.11 tactical pant fling way back in the day, but they live in my closet as nothing more than sturdier-than-normal khakis. Those things are John Wayne compared to that shirt.

    Ah, I love Sprockets. I actually think that travel shirt is pretty hip. It’s possible to be a tacticool metrosexual, right?

    Come on Mike, I figured a big ol bear like you would like it. Maybe if they offered it in plaid.

    Actually, it is very nice in person and doesn’t look gay.
