Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > The Lighter Side

Help Jack and Ennis with their Wardrobe and camping supplies

I subscribe to International Male and Undergear by email and snail mail. I became familiar with International Male when I went to the IM store in West Hollywood when I lived in North Hollywood and I did buy a few things there.

Because of the popularity of Brokeback Mountain, IM has sort of cashed in on creating some western style clothing which Jack and Ennis might have worn. So far, the only actual connection is that IM sells a Del Mar belt and a short-sleeved western shirt with trailer appliques on it.

Here are the link to the IM and Undergear catalogs online.

I also get other catalogs in the mail which are sort of complete outfitters. Cabelas sells almost everything a rugged outdoorsman might need. It even offers lodge/cabin home furnishings as well as clothing and camping gear.

Two IM items which were mentioned in the OP:

Western Trailer Shirt - Frontier-bound with classic Western style and cool “on the road” emblems at the shoulders. Flap pockets, snap front closure. Woven cotton plaid. Machine wash. Imported.



Del Mar Belt - Oval metal buckle with turquoise accent and silver beads around the edge. Soft, distressed leather. Imported. The belt is being worn by the model.

Wouldn't this outfit make it easier for Jack to be the camp cook? He could use it almost anywhere.


--- Quote ---Product Description Wish you could take the complete organization and cleanliness of your kitchen at home with you on your next camping, fishing or hunting trip? Well, now you can. With our new Camper's Kitchen, camp cooking takes on a whole new meaning, letting you create meals with virtually all the workspace and conveniences found in your own kitchen. And best of all, since it folds down and packs into its included 42" x 26" x 14" Cordura® nylon carry bag, it's compact enough to stow virtually anywhere - the campsite, lakeshore or hunting shack. Lightweight yet strong tubular aluminum frame offers quick, easy setup and takedown without sacrificing strength. Three oversized table tops create plenty of stable, level space for preparing meals, cleaning fish or game and organizing dinnerware. The center table top effortlessly removes to expose a PVC sink with drain so washing pots, pans and utensils after the meal is quick and easy. Weather-resistant, removable hanging pantries with zippered front openings under the left- and right-side table tops are ideal for storing everything from paper plates and plastic silverware to canned goods or dry ingredients. Plus, each has sturdy carry handles for easy stowing. Dual overhead lantern hangers ensure plenty of light for early morning or late-evening preparations. And a folding spice shelf complete with S-hooks not only keeps seasonings close at hand, but coffee cups, mixing spoons, spatulas and tongs as well.

Toast:
No cowboy, or mountain cruiser should plan a trip without a cool hat.
or warm hat in the case of Jack.  I couldn't find a quilted hat that would make Jack feel as warm as Mexico.

Here are some hats, economical enough for Ennis and stylish too.

Jack might appreciate this fur XXXX Cowboy hat

He could always wear a cotton bandana under it during cold times.

Once we have the right hat, underwear and cooking equipment, then we can get some jeans, boots, etc.  There must be some nice long socks like Ennis wore, in a catalog somewhere.

don't forget the booze - any recommendations ?
 mmm ...   now for a nice ice storm coat ..  mmm

TJ:
From Cabela's online catalog -- some warm underwear the guys could have worn.
