The one problem with the wonderful Buffalo clothing is that it looks a bit naff (especially the trousers), and wearing it in places frequented by affluent folk might (will) lead to you being confused for a bum. Of course, one might cherish, even cultivate, such an image, but if not, you need to accessorise!

And you would be surprised by the magic transformation that a bit of prominent Swarovski glass will make to the Buffalo wearer: as if by magic, you will be transformed from an ‘avoid an eye contact at all cost’ undesirable to a harmless eccentric worth exchanging a few pleasantries with, perhaps even discussing the wonderful weather ‘we’ are having. Worth a few quid, don’t you think?

The simple rule of accessorising the Buffalo is the bigger the better, so, staying with Swarovski, do not hesitate to splash out on something like the NL Pure 10x52, or, your general fitness allowing, the 14x52 (naturally, keep the lens caps on at all times, at both ends, to preserve potential resale value, should the interest rates rise and/or stocks crash).

It goes without saying that other options than Swarovski exist; for example you might consider a Leica, but in that case a camera might be a preferable choice, and make sure the red dot is well prominent!

And to the detractors suggesting to get an ’arbour coat instead: once you wear a Buffalo, there is no going back my friend!
