    Let's talk about wool coats, jackets, and vests

    Well the 2nd vest which I ordered from C&C Sutlery on November 1st is finally done and has just been shipped. It's going to be in the 70's all this week and before I know it It'll be spring but it was in the 50's last week, so I may get to wear it at least a week before summer comes around if...

    Let's talk about wool coats, jackets, and vests

    I have never actually seen these before, but SG had them for pretty cheap so I ordered one. USGI 5 button sweater, 100% wool, MADE IN USA. Probably by whoever makes the " Commando " sweaters.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I came home from work today and found my US Commando sweater had arrived, it's actually about 60° here so I'm just wearing that and no jacket.

    Let's talk about wool coats, jackets, and vests

    I'd probably be wearing it over a henley or possibly over a flannel as well , I don't know what the fit is like though so I may be crazy for thinking I can wear it over 2 layers.

    Let's talk about wool coats, jackets, and vests

    They also have a black " us municipal surplus " commando sweater for much less, but these are American made so I was happy to pay more. Not that it's all that expensive.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Does anybody know if the USMC commando sweater is actually 100% wool ? Obviously they have cotton reinforcements, but is the actual knit truly 100% wool ? The sportsmans guide has them new for about $60 with the club discount so I ordered one, they list it as 100% wool but I'm not sure.

    Let's talk about wool coats, jackets, and vests

    I just ordered a USMC wool " Commando sweater " from sportsmans guide. I'm not normally into USMC issued gear, but these are iconic classics and are a pretty affordable piece of American wool. They're listed as 100% wool which I'm not too sure about, but for $60 I'm not all that worried.

    Pocket Knife

    I'm quite partial to 2 bladed serpentine frames with square bolsters, whether it's a pen configuration like one of my 4 and counting Buck 305's or a Jack configuration like this modified Case 032 Texas Jack of mine that I'm carrying this week.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I still have to iron out a little Bacon curl at the waist in the front there but for now I'm just going to wear it a bunch because I really like it.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That picture isn't great and I'll have to get a better one tomorrow, but I'm really happy with that Sherpa lined Wranglers I took a bit of a gamble on it because i was on my lunch break and wasn't 100% about the size, but it fits me pretty well. Much much better than my modern flannel lined...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The mailman was nice enough to get my birthday present to me just as I was heading out to celebrate, so off came my JWM cruiser for the new vintage 1980's Wranglers trucker.

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    the local feed store probably has them, they have a. decent selection of clothing that i just never looked at theres a boot barn in my general vicinity, but ive never been there because their prices are higher and i was told you dont get the box which doesnt sit right with me.

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    Texas Jean's seemed like a really good value at under $50, made in the USA but they don't make my size. I'm not sure I wanna pay $115 for pants, I just don't take care of them and like you I'd rather put that money into boots and jackets. Jeans to me seem to be a thing where it can be hard to...

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    Those pockets don't sound too great. If I can't get into my pocket to retrieve my pocket knife small multitool pen or my pocket organizer easily then they're not going to work for me.

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    The high waist is another thing I like about Wranglers, my flannels stay tucked in much better with them. A couple years ago I handled a pair of their original cowboy cuts that really impressed me but my size was out of stock and I just keep forgetting to order a pair. I'm definately going to...

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    My experience with Levi's vs wranglers budget jeans Setting aside my views on Levi's as a company today, I really just do not like their products. I've had the cheapest $25 big box store Levi's, and I've had the " better "$60 department store...ect signature series I think they are, and they...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    That's the biggest draw of vintage for me, I like American made things. I just couldn't pass on this one, I love the style and those sorta hidden hand pockets are a feature I've always thought was cool. The position is great too, as far as quality goes theres nothing inherently wrong with my...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Apparently this is an 80's label, and wranglers stopped US production in 1994.
