My absolute favorite is vintage Duxbak from the late 1920s thru the late 1940s. This coat has buttons, so no metal snaps to wreck the stock of a fine shotgun. large side pockets (actually tandem pockets) share one wide flap. I wish somebody would re-make a coat in this pattern. I've been collecting them in various sizes thinking that one day I can convince someone to start making them again. I don't know if the sanfordized cravenette cotton canvas is still available, but its a great fabric. It's super strong, water resistant, and light weight. IMHO, these original garments are really the best of the best ever made. I have several Filson coats, but I find that oiled tin cloth either makes me sweat (its doesn't breath) and/or is stiff and frigid when worn in the cold. The lighter weight shelter and cover cloth seem to breath and I don't notice them being stiff or cold in sub-zero temps. If I think of it I'll post some pics of my classic Duxbak jackets.
Phil, msg me your size.
