    Replacement for Carhartt Chore Coat

    *The C001 Chore coat in Carhartt Brown is made in Mexico, that said, my 2014 Anniversary Ed. Detroit jacket is made in USA, has blanket lining(sleeves are smooth) and I believe the cloth duck material is same as the Chore coat. Carhartt must own the patterns, why not build the Chore coat in the...

    Replacement for Carhartt Chore Coat

    Thanks for the offer, I double checked and my Chore coat is also blanket lined in the sleeves, I was confusing it with the Detroit USA made jacket I also have. Is your Chore coat made in USA? My coat is a size 44 although fits me like a 46 which is why I like it. I have long arms like a 46...

    Replacement for Carhartt Chore Coat

    Thanks for the links, I didn't care for the LC King Pointer item although the Schaefer 310 Mesquite looks very interesting, I just wish it was more of a Chore coat in style, perhaps a bit longer w/o the Western look seam on back. G.

    Replacement for Carhartt Chore Coat

    I've not been too happy with the last couple items from Filson so I'm looking elsewhere. I'll look into the other (3) brands you mentioned, I wasn't aware they made something like this. I like the classic jeans jacket although I occasionally wear a lite/medium weight sweater under the Chore coat...

    Replacement for Carhartt Chore Coat

    Thanks for the mention although there doesn't appear to be any insulation to speak of. The waxed cloth is also not my favorite so I think I'll give it a pass. G.

    Replacement for Carhartt Chore Coat

    Unfortunately when doing some outside caulking, I ruined my favorite layering coat, my 26 year old Carhartt Chore coat. This one was made in the USA and worked perfectly with a T, canvas shirt and Filson Wool vest. Had a nice patina and was cut perfectly for layering. I'm looking for a similar...

    Lets see your Balloon Tire Bikes

    Nice bike collection, I rode a mid-sized tire, Schwinn Tornado although my brother rode a "Cadillac" balloon tired bike. It was a tanker with the rear rack and horn button in the tank. Rode very smoothly although in a hi-speed challenge was usually surpassed by the slightly lighter Tornado. It's...

    Higher rise jeans for men: Yay or nay?

    Yay...........It's tough to find decent fitting jeans today. I have a couple older pair of Carhartt jeans I love, they fit well and sit where I feel they should and offer the best comfort. Retromoto

    R/W, I/R boots sizing

    I called RW before purchasing and they recommended 1/2 size smaller. I can lace these up and rotate my foot back and forth quickly and the boot has so much room inside, it clunks! I sent them back although did not order a replacement due to my arch and width concerns. Perhaps it's time to move...

    R/W, I/R boots sizing

    I recently purchased a pair of Red Wing Iron Ranger boots on-lne and the sizing is strange to say the least. As the feedback was to order boots 1/2 size under which I did, although when they arrived they looked like clown shoes, they were so big. I measured them to my old Chippewa boots and they...

    For Sale: Aero Maxwell, size 44, NWT.

    Truly beautiful jacket, unfortunately I'm a bit lazy and prefer a zippered closure. Good luck with the sale though!

    What Are You Reading

    I'm into 1900-1930's Mysteries and stumbled across John Jay Chichester's work a few years back, amazing, well ahead of it's time. Currently re-reading " Rogues of Fortune". Great stuff if you ever come across it. If I've ever read a collection of books which beg to be made into a movie, this is...
