My "fashions" are good enough for the girls I go out with.

Treez,
A Comeaux cap is the finest there is.
Comes in lots of cool prints
Has a soft flexible brim
Short brim doesn't get in the way
Designed to be worn under a helmet
Can be worn backwards comfortably - even under a helmet
All cotton and absorbent
Can be tossed in the washer and the dryer
Keeps the sun off my bald head
Some are reversible
They come in actual sizes so I can fit my fat head
Made in the USA

Wow a $3000 vest. How many of us have spent $3000 total on clothes over the last 10 years?

Maybe if you are an 'Adventure Visionary', $3000 vests that look like something a Sherpa made are reasonable.

Roskelley said he went 68 days on K2 without ever removing his one-piece long underwear or shorts. I'll bet those were some crunchy clothes.

If i told you, it wouldn't be crunchy anymore
I'm thinking it is crunchy like 'granola', or 'hippie' by GQ standards

Thank you for posting. I was hoping someone would do this.
As one who is clawing his way towards becoming a member of the top 1% from living happily far below the poverty line so many years ago, I super enjoyed both for the right reason.
Looking forward to being a GQ man with $700 pants $800 shirts and $2000 sweaters.
For now I'm more of an OR man sometimes wearing clothes that double as a halloween costume.

Crunchiest?
Just ask any self-disrespecting hAngel how he collected his red wings.

When I first saw the GQ story I was astonished at the sexism. I had really hoped that we had moved beyond that. The macho rock climbing guys in their fancy clothes with the girls who sit there and swoon over them, half-naked. It's disgusting. Am I the only one who had this reaction?

The clothes in the GQ spread aren't that different from what's regularly featured in Outside magazine.
Outside of the 70s and 80s was awesome. Read each issue cover to cover. Now, I have a subscription to support my daughter's scout troop. Big disappointment. Lots of ultra-athletes and mud runners. Very little on backcountry pursuits.
The products featured are for the 1%ers. $50 t-shirts. $300 sweaters. $400 camping knives. WTF?

Maybe I'm the only one who got ZBrowns reference, but it's both funny and gross at the same time.

zBrown's a sly one, alright, Brandon.
Voodoo sez you're tied to that woman for life.
Ups the ante a bit more, no?
