    Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket

    The only Camo I will ever wear is true USGI " m81 " woodland, and it has to be American made by a current or former Gov't contractor. I will absolutely never touch imported reproductions of anything from the US military. From my grandfather driving a tank across France with the 4th armored, my...

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

    I just ordered my JWM cruiser, it will be interesting to see how it compares to my mother wool pieces when it arrives. I do wish the pictures on their sight were better and there are also no reviews online, so I guess I'll be the Guinea pig. Not that I'm too concerned considering how long...

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

    What do you guys do when your wool meets a bit of rain ? I just try to avoid rain as much as possible and hang it up in a warm room to dry as soon asap, but I don't know if there are any more ideal ways or whether wool can handle rain better than I give it credit for.

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

    BTW does $45 shipping inside the US seem high to anyone else ? I went through checkout on the JWM cruiser just to see what total I'm getting into and the shipping is going to be $45. $335 total for the jacket, higher than expected but within budget.

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

    Monday I'll be placing an order with JWM for their cruiser in the green and black small stag plaid they offer. I had to think on it a bit because this will be my most expensive jacket to date, but the decision has been made.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Today was my day off and I went and had a steak for lunch, so I decided to wear the fidelity Cafe.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Went with the TLW Illinois PD after work today, it's been a couple weeks since I've worn it. Mostly been wearing the wool or the vintage Fidelity Cafe I've been liking so much since I got it, I don't currently have that many jackets so I don't post them every day. It's been cold wet and windy...

    Let's see your 2021 Halloween costume

    I used to do that kind of costume every year, but the spirit gum always makes my nose itch and I've had trouble getting " nose wax " as they call it to stick. As a kid / teenager my grandmother used to help me with the makeup because we both love Halloween. She lives about an hour away now...

    Let's see your 2021 Halloween costume

    Just to add some Halloween content, heres the last 3 years. You will see some things that got reused over the years, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I've made a lot of Halloween memories with the old wolverine work gloves and my m65. 2020 2019 2018 I sure wish I still had that wool Jac...

    Adding Zipper pulls ?

    I just made this one out of a vintage master lock key that was in my grandfather's toolbox when I inherited it, I'm going to put it on the JWM cruiser jacket I'm getting ready to buy.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Definitely, and it will be awesome when I'm at the store. Sometimes it can be annoying to get the breast pocket buttoned back up at the register when I go to put my wallet away while trying to hurry up, with this design I can just put my wallet away and button it up later without worry of it...

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

    So can anyone tell me how you measure the weight of wool ?

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

    So far I'm quite liking this woolrich I just received. Paired with a henley under a flannel it's just enough enough for cool ( say low 60's ) and allows for good mobility in my arms when I'm out back plinking. I've been an airgunner since I was 7 and it's mostly vintage or just traditional...

    Adding Zipper pulls ?

    Got any pictures, that sounds pretty nice. This glass bead came off a broken cheap gift shop necklace I got from the zoo as a kid.

    That's probably perfectly fine for me. I'm going to get the cruiser.

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

    The woolrich Cape coat arrived, and I like it but it's definitely a lighter weight. I thought my barn jacket was possibly towards the lighter side ( no point of reference) and this has gotta be 1/3-1/2 the weight. Still this beats the heck out of a hateful cotton or fleece hoodie ( fleece makes...

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

    Just in the fold of the collar alone you can see that this is a nice heavy weight wool.

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

    I don't think a lightweight wool necessarily makes a less functional and practical tool to keep you warm in the outdoors, I think it can have it's own place and practical purpose but yes it is certainly less than it could be. I am positive it costs much more than it has to as well.
