My Quest For Vintage USA Made Wool Plaid To Date.
It took me awhile to locate the coat I was looking for but persistence & much searching
paid off.
I’m not sure how old this Black Bear brand full cape double mackinaw coat is, but it fits perfect and is in perfect condition.
A matching pair of vintage pants is on the way to make for a full deer-hunting outfit.
During the regular PA. firearms deer season I will have to wear an orange hat and orange vest with this outfit.
Now the search is on for period correct wool socks to go with this outfit. (it never ends)
And yes, Lady J thinks I have totally gone off the deep end of no return this time.
Also got this heavy wool shirt-jack and vest (both LL Bean brand)
paid off.

Do you use that stuff or is it just a collection?
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Just so you know, deer or bear hunting with anything other than a pre-64 levergun while wearing this get-up will cause a severe allergic reaction. Be warned!
And you are going to post a pic of yourself ready to go hunting.... right?

Nothing like good wool clothes. Keeps you warm even if wet and nice and quiet when sneaking through the thick stuff.

Re: My Quest For Vintage USA Made Wool Plaid To Date.
Check and see if the Amana Colonies have the wool things you're looking for on their website.
Also the Woolrich company. We usually stop in the factory outlet store in Alliance Ne when we go to the bpcr shoots over there. Lotta nice stuff in that store.

If you want a high top pac style boot, look at Hoffman shoe company
or just leather, Wesco's or White's
I wore these as a lineman. I still wear the Wesco's if I am teaching a climbing class; I wear my Hoffman's to hunt in. A little heavy but WARM!!

Re: My Quest For Vintage USA Made Wool Plaid To Date.
Pants arrived today. I'm more than happy with the way they match
up with the coat.
Found a dry-cleaning tag from what looks to be March 1946.
Just gotta love that little watch pocket.

Okay now you got all the woolies for when you deer hunt !
Are ya gonna go out and find you a period Harris Twead coat and knickers to wear when you go bird hunting with your Parker ?
Then you'll need about a 1929 Packard two seat convertible with the rumble seat and golf bag door for your leg o muttun case

Hey back when I kept English Setters , I WANTED a nice 16 gauge Parker for Grouse and a 28 gauge Parker for Woodcock and Quail !
And at the time I was still messing with steam engines so I thought the Packard would be a nice touch as well !
Can't say I was all up on the Harris Tweed Sport coat and Knickers though !

I remmember reading a story that William Harden Foster or William Tappley wrote about hunting with some older gentleman back many many years ago and this fellow had a 20 gauge Parker and a Packard like I made the link for !

At my age I think you done real good. That is what I grew up with, deer hunting in the north woods wearing red and black wool. The coat my dad bought for me was a Soo Woolcoat.

Re: My Quest For Vintage USA Made Wool Plaid To Date.
Great threads!
Are you going to get vintage drawers to go under all that? The sort with the flap in the rear?
How about a necktie, im always shocked how many neckties i see in old-timey hunting pictures.
Ever run into any "Codet" wool clothing? It's a canadian company, and i used to buy their stuff when i lived in northern NY state
There's a company called Duluth Pack that makes these cool old-timey packs that might interest you too. There stuff is priced like Filson's though unfortunately

“Are you going to get vintage drawers to go under all that? The sort with the flap in the rear?”
no not going that far with this vintage obsession.
I do want to get a couple pair of vintage looking wool socks that are long enough
to wear up over the cuff of the pants legs like they did back in the day.
”How about a necktie, im always shocked how many neckties i see in old time hunting pictures.”
No necktie either, but I sure do love those old pictures of hunters dressed to the 9’s.
Our brother hunters of the past sure had some class.

“Casa, I have to admire your ingenuity in finding these -- how'd you do it?”
Bottom line: Way too much time spent in ebay, asking sellers questions and making offers.
It’s surprising how much of this old vintage hunting wear there is for sale, and still in great
Condition at that. Guess it just shows how well it was made.
I’m actually surprised theirs not more of you vintage lever-gun carrying forum brothers into doing this same type of thing.

Re: My Quest For Vintage USA Made Wool Plaid To Date.
Johnson Woolens in Johnson, VT has been making and selling jackets, shirts, and pants like those depicted for decades. They are still in business and still selling this stuff. Just a few years ago I bought a pair of black and green plaid wool hunting pants from them. Since that was less than 10 years ago, these pants aren't even broken in yet.
That red and black plaid stuff shown in the photos, along with comparable green and black plaid, was standard, everyday hunting clothing for all of the locals in my home town. Standard weaponry was predominantly Winchester, Marlin, and Savage leverguns. You could spot an out-of-state "flatlander" (and there were very few of them back in the day) by their clothing and their scoped rifles. Nowadays, things have evolved and the younger generation, local as well as visitors, wears tacticool camouflage and they feel undergunned unless they have big-scoped shortymag bolt guns. Lots of them carry great big knives, too. Ah, for the days of wool plaid, iron-sighted leverguns, and a piece of clothesline for a drag rope-not to mention hunting on foot!

I actually liked it better then the LL Bean one I had at the same time !
My gunsmith buddy and I drove up to Vermont from Virginia about two years ago and picked up the remainder of an old gunshowers merchandise to bring it down and sell on GB for him .

Re: My Quest For Vintage USA Made Wool Plaid To Date.
darn! does that outfit bring back memories. In the 1950's-60's, my Dad and his hunting partners were clad from head to foot with the Woolrich black and red pattern.
As for socks, they wore a heavy wool sock, folded over the top of the boot. Gray sock with a red band at the top of the sock which was folded over -- equal amounts of red on both sides.
Most of them carried .30-30's -- Marlins, 94's, my Dad and my brother had Savage bolts --one or two had a .30-06. But the deer rifle was the Savage 99 in .300 Savage.

I've wanted a PAckard since I was about 12 I think
One like I sent the link to restored these days is gonna be $65,000 to $100,000 I think . Heck a nice restored pre 1936 Dual Cowl Phateon was about $250,000 20 years ago !
Or atleast that price seems to stick in my head !

Re: My Quest For Vintage USA Made Wool Plaid To Date.
Phil, that second photo of yours brings back clear memories of the next-to-last deer my father ever shot, back in the 1950''s. Right down to his 1936 Winchester, almost exactly like yours. One-shot kill with a Coreloct or Silvertip, I presume. Back in Dad's day deer hadn't evolved into being so bulletproof that only a gummytip would work.1894 wrote:Some of my gear getting packed for last fall.casastahle wrote:

Some are hand me downs , a couple are thrift store or flea market buys.
A couple of years ago , didn't get the model 1936 and the red plaid coat in the same pic but was using both as they were intended

My vintage Pendelton red wool hunting jacket and pants, heavy wool gloves, Johnson Woolen Mills malone wool tapered boot pants, Filson Packer Coat in front of this winter's fireplace mantel.
Check out Johnson Woolen Mills in Vermont for good wool hunting cloths. Unfortunately, the my tapered boot pants aren't made anymore, and I need a larger waist!
