New Member Introduction.

[Callawegian STITCHERY]

Hello All!

I found this site just by chance when I was researching the N-3B Parkas. I have to say, I am IMPRESSED with all of you and your willingness to share knowledge and pictures. I decided to join and somehow the Admin let me join!

Just a little about myself, I am from Missouri and am an avid outdoorsman. Retired out of the U.S. Army after spending 27 years. I started building men's outdoor wear in 1995 as I had a hard time affording exactly what I wanted. My "Niche" is Custom Wool & Canvas men's outdoor wear like Coats, Jackets, Anoraks and Vests. The name of my company is Callawegian Stitchery and have been full time with it for a couple years now. I have a website and show examples of what I do, then the customer customizes what they want and I build it. I also do repairs and restorations on outdoor workwear like Carhart, Walls, Key, Ariat and many MANY others. If it's something I am not comfortable doing, I will let you know.

I love outdoor wear and good boots and as you would expect, I , like most of you, have a vast personal inventory.,

It's nice to meet you all!

Josh @ Callawegian Stitchery

Hi there

My name is Rene, and I’m joining from Bakersfield, California. I’m new to the forum and couldn’t find a dedicated introductory section, so I thought I’d introduce myself here.
I came across this community while researching N-3B parkas and outdoor clothing. I’m impressed by the knowledge, experience, and willingness to share information that I’ve seen from members here.
I’m looking forward to learning more about these garments, discovering their history, and connecting with people who share an appreciation for quality outdoor wear. I hope to contribute to the discussions as I learn my way around.
It’s great to be here, and I look forward to getting to know you all!
Best regards,
Rene
