Title: Why I love winter
Post by: Ron LaClair on March 02, 2016, 06:47:00 PM
Cuz it gives me a reason to wear my fur mountainman duds. Can you say "traditional"?    :goldtooth:

That is a fine looking coat. I would stay away from the stick tights though.

My grandfather-in-law has and OLD black bear coat. Story is, when he was a kid (or even before) there was a man who transported bulk mail bundles by horse drawn sleigh that used to wear it. Now, this is in western NY, so I can imagine that bear coat got its fair use! Now days, walking around the woods in something like that where I hunt would probably get me full of holes. But on you, the whole ensemble looks spot on! And by the looks of it you won't be the least bit chilly!

I really love this

I have been wanting to build some stalking moccasins.  Need to save a hide when I get a chance.

I made a pair of them one time but here's a pair of Fleece lined buffalo hide moccasin/boots made by Dyer Moccasins

Sweet but probably a little much for S.W. Louisiana.  We have only had three days below freezing this year and only for a few hours each time. What does a full Buffalo coat weigh?

Absolutely, I have my shooting tab on inside the beaver mitts which slip off easily. The coat itself doesn't get in the way of drawing the bow. I have a long wool coat that I wear sometimes which is also warm but the buffalo coat is a fun way to slip back in time.       :bigsmyl:

I cant think of anyone else that looks like he was made for those clothes vs those clothes made for him. I love my Dyers.

I like that bison coat, but I'd never wear it in the woods around where I live. Some fool would shoot me for sure.

Terry, Ron got that at a traditional rendezvous in Kalamazoo MI  (not the one great northern puts on).  I think it was special ordered though-took a couple of buffalo for all the material.   :bigsmyl:

It just doesn't get cold enough down here for a buffalo coat, but I would still like to have one.

I like it!  I like those moccasins too.

I looked them up though thinking maybe I'd get some. Yikes, a lot more than I've ever spent on footwear. Must be Jordans (I'm only kidding, they look sooooo comfortable)!
