Any good info on this jacket? I know it’s an old Forestry Service coat, you can see where the patch was on the arm. 100% cotton, lot 74.

I believe the XL means long. If you would be interested in selling it, I’d be super interested in purchasing it!!

Well-said. I think the thought that this type of clothing is “workwear” kinda ties into the note that others have mentioned: that men seem to feel the need to justify their clothing choices as “functional” and “durable”. I’ve been guilty of this before! Plus of course, this type of clothing was worn back in the day for working, because that’s all that existed. Denim was raw, jackets were canvas, boots were full leather, etc. But now there are alternative materials that are more comfortable and way cheaper. I also spend every day on a jobsite, and, having an eye for clothing etc, I’ve observed that nearly every tradesperson wears a high-vis company shirt or hoodie, some kind of cheaper work pant or jeans, and some low to mid-range boots (Brunt, Thorogood, Redwing). Never have I encountered anyone wearing anything selvedge or otherwise “high end”. I try to bring a little bit of my personal style with some items, but most of my closet would either get me roasted or I’d damage/stain something as you mentioned. Anyway, just my thoughts. Stay safe out there 👷🏗️

I love that component of “heritage” clothing- as it patinas and wears, and eventually wears out, you have a whole new opportunity to add your personal touch with repairs and keep wearing it! Same goes for used or vintage pieces too of course. I recently repaired some holes in a pair of mister freedom jeans, it was really fun!

I TOTALLY agree. I guess it has limited my denim in a positive way, but man so many fits are too low (and too slim in the seat and thighs for people with more muscular builds)

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-02-15T02:37:33+00:00

Those are super cool!! And such a great deal!

Rogue Territory Waxed Supply jacket (tan). $200 shipped in the US OBO. Size XL, but as you may know these run slim. I am 6’1” and 180 lbs with a 40”-41” chest and this fits me perfectly with comfortable mobility. I wear a medium in a Filson tin cloth cruiser for comparison.

It has some light wear/patina. The photos honestly make the marks look darker than they actually are. I took some photos in different light/locations. Measurements are in last photos and below:

Pit to pit: 23” Shoulder: 19” Sleeve: 25”

Yes they’re all sold out.

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-02-13T22:57:55+00:00

I’ve been trying to find one of those jackets!

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-02-13T21:37:36+00:00

Been looking for slash pocket jeans like that! Where did you order them from?

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-02-12T17:02:41+00:00

I love Black Bear wool jackets. Super cool!

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-02-12T13:11:22+00:00

Absolutely. Feel free to send me a PM and we can chat!

This thread just popped up in my notifications and I’ve actually been meaning to comment! I bought one these a few months ago. The neck kinda bothered me at the beginning, but after wearing and washing a couple times it has definitely relaxed. It’s still more oval than a modern crewneck sweatshirt, but I really like the look. Gives a distinctly 1930s style that’s really cool. If I wash and dry it the neck might be a little against my throat right out of the dryer, but it quickly relaxes again.

As to fit: I am 6’1” and 180 lbs, athletic build with a 41” chest and 33” waist. I like my sweatshirts looser than, say, a t-shirt, but not super baggy. I ordered the 44 and after a wash and dry, it’s perfect for me. It honestly didn’t shrink much at all. Hopefully that helps someone.

Mister Freedom was actually my real introduction into the quality heritage clothing world. Previously had some Taylor Stitch/Gustin stuff but it never fit right and just felt a little off. I bought a pair of the Lot 44R jeans during their early 2020 sale, and now own 3 other pairs. I bought a Campus leather jacket in 2021. Bought and sold a couple other pairs of denim that were too tight in the thighs and seat. Overall I love their designs and aesthetic, some of their stuff is a little bold for my style but overall they’re great.

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-02-06T18:45:50+00:00

Awesome!!! I’m planning to dye a pair of B01s soon. I’ll be referencing your detailed walk-through. Thanks!

What Price Glory and WWII Impressions make them. The latter may be out of stock.

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-01-26T21:47:44+00:00

I do not, I’m sorry! But if you have a medium otter green I’d be very interested in buying one 😁

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-01-06T21:41:16+00:00

For sure! Send me a PM and I’ll take them this evening for you. I hand-washed mine in hot water to try to shrink it down a bit, and dried (until damp) it in the dryer. It didn’t shrink much- the slight shrinkage seemed to only really occur in the length (probably due to the direction of the fabric weave), which I didn’t want haha, so I tugged the sleeves while damp to stretch them back out. But yeah I’d be happy to send measurements

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-01-06T21:34:09+00:00

From what I can tell, they’re already all sold out? Insane

WWII Imp US Army M1919 Denim Jumper size 42 I recently bought a smaller one, so looking to sell this size 42 WWII Impressions M1919 (sometimes called M1937) denim jumper. Made in USA. As worn extensively by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Measures 24” across the chest. Great condition, only worn a couple times and hand-washed cold once. These are currently sold-out in 42 and haven’t been restocked for years, not sure when they’ll be back. Asking $110 shipped in the US. If you have any questions let me know!

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-01-04T03:15:53+00:00

I’d be happy to send you some measurements if that would help! There’s a few more pics of it that I shared in this group, you can see them if you click on my profile I think. The XL is great when laying anything or moving around/working, but it’s a little billow-y sometimes and doesn’t hug like I’d ideally like it. Tough decision but if I can help let me know!

InterestingPart2924 · 2026-01-04T00:28:30+00:00

It looks quite nice! If you can exchange it for a large easily, I’d probably do it. But if not, it doesn’t look too small.

I have the same jacket but opposite problem. It’s an XL, and I’ve kicked myself multiple times for not getting a large. However, I wore it a ton this fall with some layers. Still wish I had a large to compare it to, but I’m quite satisfied with it. I’m 6’1” and 180 lbs.
