Climbing Flannels and Fedora

In the 1920s mountaineers sought clothing that suited their pursuit –specialized clothing was not available in Vancouver at the time.

The rugged surplus army breeches and boots were readily adopted by climbers – they stood up to arduous conditions. The wool cardigan and breeches provided freedom of movement yet held in warmth, even when damp.
