    CURRENT TRIPLE F.A.T. GOOSE PARKAS QUALITY ?

    Thanks for the information. My main interest IS vintage classic long coats made of wool from the 1920s-1970s. My user name here is "Polocoat" and I've been interested in and owned them for many years. I also buy and wear the vintage clothes from when I was in high school 1957 - 1960 (Baracuta...

    CURRENT TRIPLE F.A.T. GOOSE PARKAS QUALITY ?

    Doctor Damage - My September 24 posting concerning Triple FAT Goose pertained to where they are made and where their materials come from, not their quality. If I was suppose to go back to my original posting and ask about quality there then, I wasn't aware of this. As far as being a "troll,"...

    Does anyone know the quality of the current line of Triple FAT Goose parkas compared to like down parkas of other manufacturers? Not sure I trust the Amazon reviews. Thanks

    TRIPLE GOOSE F.A.T DOWN JACKETS

    I've recently read a whole bunch of articles pertaining to coyotes and from what I've read, you are 100% correct. Also, I could find absolutely no mention of "coyote fur farms."

    TRIPLE GOOSE F.A.T DOWN JACKETS

    Here is the answer directly from Triple FAT Goose. Although they are closed, they do have a "chat" feature that allowed me to ask my questions. Their jackets are made in China. The down is sourced from China and the coyote fur is sourced from Canada. The Responsibility Page really helped...

    TRIPLE GOOSE F.A.T DOWN JACKETS

    Thanks Robrinay for your very helpful comments. Yes, I am aware of the horrible "plucking of live geese" that's going on in the countries you listed. That was one of the main reasons I wanted to know where the coyote fur and down was being sourced from, so I could avoid these companies.

    TRIPLE GOOSE F.A.T DOWN JACKETS

    Why is it so hard to get the answer to the original question, "Does anyone know where these jackets are made?" Also, where do they source their materials...?" ??? Thanks

    TRIPLE GOOSE F.A.T DOWN JACKETS

    I certainly respect your position. So, do you know where the jackets are made (country) and where they get their materials?

    TRIPLE GOOSE F.A.T DOWN JACKETS

    Does anyone know where these jackets are made? Also, where do they source their materials, i.e., down and coyote fur. Thanks !

    SPLIT TOE ANKLE BOOTS HAND STITCHED

    YOU ARE THE HERO ! ! ! That's it. I can see why I never found it. First, it wasn't a US manufacturer and secondly, I was way off as far as the name is concerned. GRANT STONE OTTAWA boot. Thanks !!!!!!!!

    SPLIT TOE ANKLE BOOTS HAND STITCHED

    Thanks for your suggestion. No, it's not Crockett and Jones but, good guess. The boots do look like the Alden split nose ankle boots with hand stitching. This is driving me nuts.

    SPLIT TOE ANKLE BOOTS HAND STITCHED

    Thanks. It's not Alden that I'm looking for. The company has a name made up of two words like, "Mark & Jones" or "Arnold & Hopkins." I believe they are located in the USA.

    SPLIT TOE ANKLE BOOTS HAND STITCHED

    I saw a pair of split toe ankle boots on one of the internet sites that discussed Indy boots that were (appeared to be) hand stitched. I believe they were made in the USA by a small company. Now, I can't find the post. In the post, the "poster" suggested potential buyers of the Indy boots...

    N-3B PARKA CARE AND FEEDING

    Now that I know what my N-3B parka is insulated with (wool), I need to know how to care for it. The parka does not have any labels or tags so, I need help in determining how it should be cleaned and maintained. The hood has both mouton and coyote fur to complicate things. Also, can the two...

    WHAT'S INSIDE ?

    Thanks for the replies. From some of the replies I received and information I found on line, the N-3b insulation material appears to be a dense heavy wool similar to the wool used in boot liner our "Dumpster Diver" mentioned. Yes, it is "pancake thick." Again, thanks for your input. Now...

    WHAT'S INSIDE ?

    I still have my N-3b military parka from the 1960s in excellent shape, that was issued to me with the real coyote fur hood. Unfortunately, the tag is missing. It's a substantial (heavy) parka and warm as toast. I would like to know what's inside. I'm pretty sure it's not down so I would like...

    Wtb - gibson & barnes mark 31 a-2 size 42r

    Sorry, I made a typo. "...Historical in a size 43" should read ...size 42 (not 43).

    Wtb - gibson & barnes mark 31 a-2 size 42r

    Gibson & Barnes also made a "Historical" goatskin A-2 before the Mark 31 goatskin. I would also like to buy the Historical in a size 43.
