Hey Tradgang Family - It has been a trying few months for Asbell Wool. But we are ready to talk about some happy, positive, "move forward" type things.....

Teresa has been working on a different collar, rather than her classic hood. She has come up with what we are calling the "Woodsman Jacket".....She will have a few at Compton this weekend, stop by and check it out. I will be in the booth with Teresa Friday and Saturday.....stop by and say hi!

As an aside.....what is the Tradgang opinion on the name? Thanks!

Looks like a great jacket and I think the name is fitting! 
I assume there are hand pockets?

Good luck with the launch!

Excellent idea. Great name.

I like the new jacket. I had always hoped there would be a  hoodless option, seems that the only time I wear a hood is in the pouring rain.

The Woodsman is a great name!

I love the style, I never used the hood with my other Asbell jackets, always felt the were too large and loose. This jacket has winner written all over it.

Roger, any idea when these will be available on the website? I need to have one of these.

Great news!! 

Although I know it would be more work and increase prices for this option, if a WINDPROOF liner was offered, I believe sales would go through the roof!!

Thank you for the responses.....yes it has pockets.

I am not sure when it will be on the website, but shortly after Compton is my best guess.

THANK YOU!!!

  :  EXCELLENT!!!

Been asking for this for a good number of yrs
I  like the hoods, but ...love the ease , versatility of a jacket with a simple collar .
Can't wait to add one or these to my outdoor wear lineup !

Thank you Teresa for an excellent line of hunter friendly products that help us hunt longer-harder , and in turn be more successful . Thank you !

On the name...."woodsman Jacket"  ......sounds fitting to me .

Best your way Teresa , and Thank you Roger for keeping us informed  brother !

Agree with the above, glad it has pockets.  Perhaps eventually a Pathfinder without the hood?

I am really excited about this new design and for sure it will be a blast.
I'll be on line for buying at least one.
The name Woodsman also if it fits I think it's a little over used in the archery community and there are some wool coats/ jackets with that name. But the important thing is the quality and design of the garment.

I like the look without
the hood. I hope they  will be at   etaR.  ALL their WOOL IS QUALITY.

Here is a picture of the pockets....

Awesome.

Great name and the jacket looks really good. I was just talking with a friend this morning that I'd like a jacket without a hood that I could wear over my pullover on those cold late season hunts!

I like it!!! Looks like it would make a good going out to supper at a steakhouse coat too!!!

Roger, that's a great looking jacket

Roger,
   That's very nice without the hood I like it .
Now maybe her next design could possibly include upper pockets as well and somehow include a name after her beloved husband Fred .
   Name it after the Legend himself like "The Asbell Bighorn" or The "Bighorn Legend" ?
  I love the Woodsman name on that one but this is just in case she makes a special one in honor of the Legend himself .
  God bless and tell Mrs. T. We all appreciate her talent .

That's a beautiful jacket, she makes some fine stuff for sure and very sweet lady to boot.

Looks like a winner to me
