[Rant Mode ON]
In the beginning there was the 5.11 stuff. Then I saw where Sig was selling Sig Tac stuff on their web site. Now I see an announcement that Woolrich - WOOLRICH [!] - is coming out with a line of "tactical" vests, shirts and pants.

Personally, the last time I ran into somebody all tricked out in the 5.11 clothes, Oakley shoes and glasses, etc. was at one of John Farnam's classes. The guy in question worked for the Federal government's Homeland Security Department. As a lawyer!
(His girlfriend, who was a lawyer for the Dept of Interior, was there with him taking the course also. She was really cute, and dressed normally. The subject of whether government lawyers should be allowed to breed with each other is probably best left to another thread, or maybe even another board! [lol] )
I find the whole "high speed, low drag 'look'" silly. It is, if anything, just the OPPOSITE of the look I am trying to project in public.
Hmmn. Maybe there's a new signature line there:
I Am NOT Getting Old, Slow, And Fat! This Is A Low Speed, High Drag DISGUISE I've Adopted To Camouflage My Awesome Skills And Fool My Enemies!
