I have the coat I aquired in 1971.  Been wearing it since.  Cuffs are getting a little ragged though.

That's a new one on me.  Back then I dealt with a local sporting goods/fishing store and a local basement archery dealer/distributor/character for all of my stuff.

Chuck,
Here is what the whole jacket looks like.  The slash pockets in front are very deep and go to the bottom of the jacket.

Bill,
Do you remember last year we went to a meeting of the MBS at Rich's house and I wore that coat with an old Jones style hat?  Rich explained to one of the young guys there that I was wearing an old Fred Bear camo jacket and the guy said "Yea, and I see you have the matching antique hat to go with it".
