Some Filson stuff
This image in particular I'd call sportswear technically? I'd look at vintage Eddie Bauer, Filson, Orvis, LL Bean, etc.
ohh the post I pulled the image from had called it mid-century workwear, my bad
Also thank you
It's not wrong to call it workwear per se. I just associate vintage hunting, fishing, etc. gear with "sportsmen" type stuff rather than "workwear" which I consider more like things loggers, miners, factory workers, farmers, etc. would wear. A minor distinction but "sportsmen" stuff will yield more of the kind of stuff you linked in that photo
So would I look up mid century sportswear? to get more types of stuff like in the photo? I feel like the hunting/fishing etc is a different type of vibe then the usual sportswear, but I could definitely be wrong
I think the right brands and item names will get you far. Vintage fly fishing vests for example

Vintage pendleton and the red buffalo check, bird hunting boots from like Russell Moccasins, etc.

Your pic also feels v American to me rather than British fox and bird hunting but up to you if you're into those vibes too
Also fun to decide what mid-century "sports" you're interested in. Hunting, fishing, rock climbing, mountaineering? etc.
Yes, I'm very interested in American fishing/hunting sportswear. But British ones could be cool too 🤔
Also american workwear as well
Both are cool
This is definitely the aesthetic I go A LOT. Brands mentioned are where you want to look. Keep colors in the earthtone family for the most part. Greens, tans, browns, obviously the flannels and checks too. Fabrics should be "rugged" or at least look like it
Thank you (:
