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

    That's a very nice looking jacket there. Eventually I'll have to try a shorter wool jacket of some kind. I generally think of a bit longer of a jacket when I think of wool for some reason. I just passed on a nice old woolrich that was being sold as a " wool bomber " for $30. It was more like a...

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

    Another question. Does anyone know particularly when this label dates to ? The woolrich dating info just lists it under various modern labels. The piece is a double breasted Mackinaw I have coming, I'd call it a Cruiser because it has the map pocket but I'm sure that's more of a Filson name.

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

    I have looked and could not find anything aside from some general info on the Mackinaw jacket, but I would like to discuss common wool coats vests and jackets of the rugged variety ( ie not formal wear ) in general. I have really been Interested in wool for quite a while, and it seems much more...

    That link is not taking you directly to the product, but if you search " leather police jacket " it will pop up. Still available, $239. Theres also a very nice looking German police surplus for $149 , but you'd have to figure out what to do about the POLIZEI printed across the back. looks like...

    Leather Police Jackets

    Aren't Taylor's jackets made in India or Pakistan now though ? That's why I thought my TLW Illinois municipal was a great deal at $250, NOS Unissued from 1990, made in the USA, and less than the current imports...

    When did it start for you ?

    I just found an old leather jacket I forgot I had. Sadly it doesn't fit, must've been put in the washer or something ;)

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

    I wasn't even thinking about it before, but I just realized that this jacket is a double Mackinaw which will be interesting. It's also a cruiser style too with the map pocket in the back, not something I'm I'm likely to ever need but who knows. I'll find put when I get it, but I'm betting the...

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

    It's a relatively modern piece but $36 is a pretty good deal for an American made woolrich Mackinaw.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    CALCRAFT Sherpa lined wool vest. I bought it for next to nothing off Ebay a while back to see if I liked wearing a vest, it turns out I do and I quite like this one. I can't find anything about this brand, but I'm guessing early 90's based on the star symbol for the MADE IN USA . had a sherpa...

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

    Nothing right now, but I'm itchin' for another wool piece or two. I'm gonna be ordering another vest from C&C sutlery out of Idaho, and I'm looking for another wool jacket. I've been looking for one of Johnsons cruisers or NCO types in the awesom green buffalo plaid they did, but they just...

    Typical build, but they offer a shorter or longer option, and before they start making it they'll call and confirm chest measurement. They have a lined and unlined option, and about 7 color options. They also offer a different style that's a bit more western wear style.

    Let's see your 2021 Halloween costume

    My favorite holiday, gotta make my own costume, and it's gotta be scary / gory . Kids must face their fears and earn their candy. This year I went with a cowboy that was killed by an Indian. I tried to go as accurate as I could with what I had and without breaking the bank in case I get a...

    Pocket Knife

    I'm all in on traditional pocket knives and sheath knives. Today it's a Buck 305 in brass and rosewood that just came in the mail, and in my vest pocket a 1920's queen cutlery bird and trout knife. I'm also still carrying my modified Case 62032 Texas Jack in CV and amber jigged bone that's...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Do vests count ? Today I'm wearing my " modern Chalis vest " from C& C Sutlery. It's basically a copy of the Filson, but it's a wool vest made to order in the US for $80. I'm sure it's not as good as the filson, but I quite like it.

    When did it start for you ?

    I just remembered another jacket that I really liked. When I was around 12 my dad found his Army issued black trench coat and assuming it was something I'd never want he told me to ask one of my siblings ( they had a different dad ) if they wanted it. I asked my oldest brother who happens to...

    When did it start for you ?

    I knew I still had that little coat around here somewhere. And I found a picture of that Wranglers jacket, my head looks huge in this picture but the jacket is the important part.

    When did it start for you ?

    When did your interest in / love of coats and jackets start ? I would love to hear any jacket related memories you have. Growing up in the Valley of northern California it rarely drops below 40° so I never had to waddle out of the house like ralphies little brother, but I've always been skinny...

    The owner of the company I work for is also the owner of the browns. He gets plenty of teasing about how bad they've played the past decade. I have no clue how they're doing now though, I only cared about the 9'ers when I did watch and completely gave up on the entire game when Kaepernick...
