Your FE Wish List

[Cagney]

Let's say you've been hired by FE and you're in the create development meeting. What thing are you pitching? I know there are a bunch of you who have wanted FE to create __________, now is your chance to share it.

Zip-off pants. Hear me out… Usually it’s cool when I set off on a hunt, but warms up quickly through the day and based on how far I have to track a not-not-alive-yet animal (let’s be honest here). I want a trouser that I can put on in the morning, zip off into shorts in the field, then zip back on for post-hunt libations in the lodge.

Priorities:

1. Very discreet zipper / seam. After all, no one wants to be seen in zip-offs.
2. Max 5.5” inseam at the zip off point. Should be at an appropriate length for African safari’s.
3. Packable, wrinkle proof leg sleeves that are easily stuffed into your pack.
4. No baggy cargo pockets or other indicators that these are in fact zip-offs
5. A zipper system that is quiet, reliable, durable, and easy to use when I’m trying to transition without anyone seeing me
6. Discreet zipper running the length of the leg so that you can keep your boots on while converting. Tripping and falling over myself while trying to get my pants on/off is nightmare fuel

They actually did the BRCC Collab, it was called Dangerous game and pretty good

I'm not a hundred percent who said it but a blind bag FE collab with someone would be awesome as a waterfowl hunter need a great blind bag. I will now take my laps.

I haven't got mine in hand yet, but say a reversible Patteson; camo pattern on one side, rusty maroon or whatever on the other.

I'd throw out every pair of pants I owned if you made a good one. Not cargo but side pocket for wallet, stretch or cut for knee movement.

More colours in zenith shirt is my next order of business. My wife asks who I'm trying to pickup when wearing. So must be good.

Anything in Rhodesian really too ha

FE Flag in Rhodesian Brushstroke would be legit.

FE Leather Catchall - a foldable option with buttoned corners that could be used while traveling, and also a higher-grade option with fixed sides that could be used at home or in the office.

Love this thread. A couple things I’d think were helpful!

A watch display / storage case.
Cell phone case

I like the idea of a FE watch winder.

 

[rtraendly]

That’s a great list @Andrew Wilson

Love the crates - like a field “bento box”

Coffee maker for the field, brilliant!

I’d add:

- an FE / Reyn Spooner collab aloha shirt

- an FE hunting log / dope workbook in small format and leather bound

- FE collab with the best hunting socks available (wool, alpaca, whatever), in wild ass colors or blaze orange or with an image of @Jason Vincent flipping off the world or a Narwal or a kudu or something cool

Some good ideas in here

A coffee-making kit for the field
Hats with more neutral colors and for bigger heads
Gift crates during the holidays with badass stuff inside
More stuff from Africa

All of these get my vote

I’d love to see a rifle scabbard for lever guns, but I might be the only one…
I own both sizes of the Vice alp container and would immediately buy a “double” with no indent on the top. I’d love to be able to fit two full cans in there.
Some field ethos x watches of espionage collaborations would be awesome. Watch pouch, roll, straps, etc.
And of course, a blaze orange safety third hat before the next hunting season.

I'm with you on the scabbard, awesome idea!! Make one I can slap on my KTM and I'll buy it now... big amen on the WOE collab... and why isn't the BO safety third hat on the website yet?? haha

 

[SEJohnson73]

It was damn good....

 

[ryanahorst]

Maybe an Eberlestock x FE collab?

FE flags would be cool to hang in shops, garages, from the back of technicals, etc.

There’s a company who has made smaller ones, like 18x12” maybe?, designed for hikers and backpackers to hang at their campsites or wave from the top of a mountain or whatever. I wish I could remember who it was. I’d be down for something like that.
