From the Summer 1986 “Voices from Africa” catalogue: ” Life frequently gets warm for foreign technicians working the offshore oil fields of North Africa. Going about one’s business while the aircraft and carriers of super-powers and quasi-powers jostle for media coverage is enough to make any geologist break into a sweat on occasion. When you figure in temperatures of 130 degrees, it’s obvious why oil workers need soothing, character-building clothes. Like this breezy but resilient suit made of lightweight 100% cotton twill. The pleated shorts have an elasticized waist that stays flexible under adverse conditions; the short-sleeved, open-necked shirt is worn outside the shorts. We discovered them in Italy, where they’ve known since B.C. how to keep cool when the Mediterranean heats up.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
