    Okay.. one thing up front. A2's do not have elastic cuffs. They have a wool jersey knit. It has some spring to the knit but it has no elastic in it. I haven't seen a wested jacket up close so I can't compair. But you can not expect a jacket made of lamb to be stand up to the...

    Poll - How old...?

    Oh, on a fun side note... Anyone ever live in a remodeled chicken coop? I did for about 2 years. It was part of an old fox farm back in the 30's. The chickens were the food for the foxes. It was never made for plumbing, so all the pipes were above the ground. The toilet was really the...

    Poll - How old...?

    I always lived in old houses. Mostly turn of the century ie: 1900. Current house is new for me.. 1937. Old houses are nice, but not if you want to keep warm.

    My Next Jacket?

    Falco, Not a 45 but maybe a 22. I don't think goats can get a thick skinned as a Horse, esp. a draft horse. Goat is a great skin I agree, but horse is the next step up. Of course if you really want the toughest, most durable hide, then go Kangaroo.
