VINTAGE Saf-T-Back Hunting Jacket.
Made in Altoona, Pa!




Size 38. c. 1950s/1960s.


Chest: 22 1/2
Sleeve: c. 33 (measured like a shirt)
Shoulder: 19 1/4
Length: 26 3/4

You needn't hunt to wear this jacket--this would be perfect for hiking, or for weekend use walking the dogs in the park--it really is an incredibly cool piece!

This is terrific! Dating from the 1950s or 1960s this is cut from thick sturdy cotton duck that has softened with age. It features a four-button front, and deep flapped pockets on the front with elastic to hold shells; these are topped by deep handwarmer pockets. The flaps and the handwarmers are in blaze orange. This also has a flapped breast pocket, a padded quilted shooting patch on the right--again, in blaze--and a soft corduroy collar.

It has an action back for ease of movement and a full width game-pocket at the lower back. It also has a zip-in interior game pocket.

This jacket shows signs of field use, but it is by no means "distressed"--just in Good/Very Good condition!

Asking just $45, OR OFFER, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.

WAY COOLER THAN FILSON!

Wonderful 1960s Vintage "Bullseye Bill" Hunting Jacket.



Size 38. (If this were a 40 it wouldn't be here!) Measurements:

Chest: 22 1/2
Sleeve: c. 32 1/2 (measured like a shirt)
Shoulder: 19
Length: 28

You don't have to hunt to enjoy this jacket--it's perfect for hiking, walking the dog--even running errands in the city when thee's a chance of rain!

This is just *way* cooler than anything Filson's ever made! Cut from thick waxed cotton that's become wonderfully pliable over the years this jacket has a four button front, two deep patch pockets on the front, and a zippered security pocket; the patch pockets have blaze orange flaps and feature elastic shell holders inside. It has a full-width game pocket at the rear, and a large blaze orange section on the back. It is unlined, although it does have full-width game pockets on the inside, also. It has a cord collar.

This was, of course, Made in the USA, and is in (conservatively) Very Good/Excellent condition--a testament to its quality and this has been field used each season since about 1963!

Asking just $45, or offer.... Cooler and FAR more functional than Filson for far, far less!

(Shotgun shells and '38 Springfield bolt-action not included!)
