The E-mail about "black faces" at Pistol A.D. was not meant
to be sarcastic in that sense but to show that perception is,
in fact, not always reality.
It is the same with the disparagement of those who wear
ex-surplus "cammo gear". The perception seems to have been
that all of these "types" are sad Rambo fantasists.
The reality may be that they appreciate buying hard wearing
well made practical items of clothing for a fraction of its
true cost of manufacture simply because it is ex-surplus.
It is nice to be able to afford a Haggart's tweed shooting
suit that is warm, fits well and gives blends in as
"camouflage" if stalking.
But for a tenth of that I can buy exactly the same thing
that because it is not tweed but a cloth printed with
disruptive pattern colour is condemned as "cammo gear".
But a good tweed is, in its reality, nothing more than
rich man's "cammo gear".
