The Docket

Issue date: 4/1/05 Section: Big News

In a novel and unprecedented merger, Field and Stream Magazine has joined forces with Gentleman's Quarterly to produce an innovative men's magazine, titled: GQ & Stream. Mixing the faddish designs of the runways with the intricate detail of a tackle box, this new periodical will provide a source of vast knowledge for every man who needs tidbits from both realms. Where else could today's Renaissance man gather the latest news on this year's DareDevil fishing lures and at the same time, find out how his wardrobe can make a splash in the office? Also included in the new merged-mag, the hottest new trends of Europe's finest boathouses meet the down-home style of the South's muddy waters - everything a stylish sportsman could ever want from a magazine.

In the charter issue of this new venture, GMUSL Dean Daniel Polsby graces the cover as the first-annual "Best-Dressed Sportsman of the Year." Polsby received this distinguished award for the way he sports his chic-yet-elegant fishing vest day after day. His style matches and even exceeds that of the smart, rugged detailing of the entire crew from the latest Bassmasters competition.

Polsby explained the inspiration behind his pursuit of perfection in the sporting fashion world. He likes to call his vest-wearing trend a blend of savvy sportsman and shrewd scholar. The vest, as he describes it, provides not only the practicality of multiple pockets of storage, but the sleeveless wonder also offers our Best-Dressed Sportsman a subtle degree of fashion confidence. When he slips into the Traveler Series IV, a khaki number with green stitching detail, he feels poised and ready to conquer anything his day might bring. From a six point lecture to a twelve point buck, Polsby's fashion proves equipped to handle the transition from classroom to campground with graceful ease.

The dean credits his education at the University of Minnesota as part of his fashion inspiration. Where better to begin his stylish-sportsman journey than the land of ten-thousand lakes? As Polsby accepts his walleye-shaped trophy, he sends a nod of thanks to his garment specialist, the local Bass Pro Shop, for supplying his vogue attire.

Also featured in the first issue: "Fly Got You Down? How to dress for success in a fly-fishing expedition"; and "Money Don't Grow on Trees: Seven savvy deer stands just right for your budget." Check out the newest issue of GQ & Stream, available on newsstands now.
