What Ever Happend To "Chore Coats"?

[RoyJackson]

I have wanted one of these for a long time, maybe this year santa will bring it. Tin Cruiser | Filson

Filson does make great jackets. I have the tincloth Cruiser, Packer Jacket, a couple wool vests and hats.

However, for working under the tractor (like installing tire chains, which I did last Saturday), I use factory seconds Carhartt jackets from Sportsman Guide.

That coat is not a Chore Coat. Needs to be a little longer. That jacket would give me Plumbers B-tt.

Take it from me, you can't blame Plumber's B-tt on a coat. Mine has been developed through many years of chowin' down at the dinner table.:laughing:

I'm not wanting to hijack this thread and talk about plumber's b-tt's "b-tt" that was funny!:laughing::laughing:

How about this? I use an old coat to weld in. It is so thread bare it is starting to catch on fire around the edges. You got me to thinking about replacing it.

UH OH! You sent that request to Dickey's. That's why their barbecue tastes like an old coat. You should have sent the request to Dickies.:thumbsup:

That must be what they hand out at some high-dollar Federal Penitentiary...

When I was in prison in Texas, what passed for a jacket looked like something they sewed up out of old poncho liners...

Any color you wanted, as long as it was green quilt...

...VEEEEEEERY fashionable....

my interest is peaked, care to elaborate.

I spent a few wonderful years as a critical care medic working for the University of Texas "Correctional Managed Care" division.

I was assigned to the Texas Dept of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division "Darrington" Unit down in Brazoria County, spending most of my time in between the Darrington, Ramsey, Clements and Jester units and the main hospital in Galveston, but my long-haul transport missions could take me to any unit in the state...

What did you THINK I meant....????
