Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Filson or Woolrich

After my Dad passed away I wore his Woolrich hunting coat (circa 1950s)for a few years until I out grew it. Thick wool with a light brown flannel lining, Heavy and warm.

Later I bought this Woolrich hunting coat that has a Thinsulate insulation liner. Just back from the dry cleaners. A little lighter than Dad's and still has my favorite feature...a large rear cargo pocket. Small thermos for coffee, drag rope, extra gloves/mittens, latex gloves, sandwich, snacks water bottle and a oversized packable two piece rain suit. Good setup while on stand.





In addition, I have a lighter weight wool coat made by Codet for higher levels of activity...perfect for still hunting or on a track, quiet. It has the the double layer shoulder/yoke and is remarkably warm as is. Occasionally I layer this with Cabela's Primaloft Passage jacket. Wool plaid and a 30-30 my kinda northwoods hunting.
