I agree that blaze orange is a good safety measure to take, like wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle, 'cause you can't count on the other guy being safe.

I'm not an advocate of mandatory blaze orange. Would be a great camo color if I was out in a big patch hunting the great pumpkin though I do have one of those orange camo baseball style hats I'll put on if I'm part of a drive / watcher.

I had to go look before I mouthed off.(Grin)It is sewn in on the shoulders and as far as quiet goes,It isn't that bad or I'm deaf.I don't notice my wife in hers or visa versa when walking the hills but it sure comes in handy in those unexpected storms and especially,snow...
I got this one in Orofino Idaho where I was living and working at the time..

I have two hunting coats. Both are blaze wool. The Bemidji Woolen coat is real heavy and great for sitting. colombia wool coat, GM Guide Series Sweater w/ some sort of wind stopper, Kromer blaze hat. It was -13 on this morning. Shot the deer at 10am. It works for warmer weather too. +30* Where is the Vikings hat ?

For cool weather I have a Johnson Mills red and black plaid jacket, (a Filson camo wool hunting coat for cold weather). Used to have the same thing in green-black plaid, first wife tried throwing it out a few times, it got so ragged, second wife finally succeeded...My go-to winter coat for non-hunting activities is a Filson mackinaw cruiser....wool bibs...wool pants...wool shirt...yeah, I like wool...

I just picked up a like new 50's era, Chippewa Woolen Mills red & black plaid coat for this years elk hunt. It is awesome. It is like brand new! Can't wait to use it. I'll just put my obligatory blaze orange vest over it. I use my vintage wool Canadian battle dress trousers too. Warm! Canadian BD was better than the Brit BD and highly sought after by all commonwealth troops! If you are interested in vintage clothing this spot does have vintage hunting apparel reasonably priced. Just look thru the men's clothing and find the hunting catagory for the specific clothing item. They are spot on in their descriptions of the clothing as well. http://vintagetrends.com/vintage/vintageclothing.aspKaywoodie

Well, I've got a few coats that I've picked up at garage sales.
Mostly I use them to go to work, since they are too nice to rough up in the woods.
OTOH, I wear heavy wool plaid pants for deer hunting all the time, they are the only thing I like.

the old man still wears his woolrich red plaid every time we go in the woods, along with the floppy orange stocking cap

I wear a Filson Cruiser red/black buffulo plaid. I retired a well kept Woolrich that was way too small to my wife. Filson prices are as bad as their product is good and I was fortunate to find one on ebay for about one hundred less. I feel hidden to the deer and not to fellow hunters.

When I was a kid one of my uncles gave me his woolrich coat and pants. They were to big for me, and heavy. But they kept me warm.
