There might be some wool plaid in these picks. I also have worn that Woolrich halibut jacket for many a year. Never lived anywhere that I could wear the double cruiser.

John, no but it's similar. The Bomber has the elastic-type cloth collar and cuffs.It's cut full through the shoulders so you can stretch your arms and mount a gun.It's single layer;waist length,and real comfy.

Got mine last winter but will hunt it this fall for sure. Nice jacket.

I'd worry about the 'elastic' parts holding water like a sponge.

Yeah, they might at that.....Think they are wool as well.I do like the shorter length.The one John posted a picture of is the work jacket design I think;it's similar and nice, too.

You don't. You cover the elastic with wool but it's still rubber in the middle.

Scott,

What's the fabric that bib is made out of? Is it quiet?

I have a Filson Doblue Mackinaw in sz 44 Red/Black plaid & it is for sale. It is not old. It looks like new.


Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.

STEELHEAD ...Love the green plaid! Particularly the last picture of the brilliant green plaid. Love the stock coloration in the last photo too! Hate the fact that the "99" has a recoil pad! Who would do such a damn thing! confused

Stopped at the gunshop/hardware/work clothing store near hunting camp a few years ago prior to deer season and they had Woolrich and Carhart stuff on sale.

Hadn't owned a Woolrich red/black checker wool shirt in over 30 years, since my last one had finally bitten ze dust. Got a new one, looks great. Made in China.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

I've had better luck when out hunting in my old Woolrich that is probably 30 years old now than in my of my "new" high tech stuff. For elk hunting I still prefer it over anything else.
This is about the only picture I have thats digital.

I guess I'm in that 20 % , was just going thru stuff for camp when I saw this thread. The heavy cold weather ones are still at camp.
Woolrich and LL bean and Johnson are the majority on the brands.
I believe Johnson is still 100% made in the USA.

Have a dark green Filson Mack Cruiser (single). I'll use it sitting in a tree stand during November rifle season. If we get an early winter I might grab it to use as a "bivy" jacket and throw it on over my lighter layers when I'm on the move and stop to look around or have a hot drink/snack. Not very practical though, for how heavy it is, but sure is warm.

While we are on the subject of wool what does everyone think about Beagle Wear?

Looks nice but pricey to me.
