Title: Johnson Woolen Mills?
Post by: Tom L on August 11, 2008, 02:33:00 PM

I have been looking at there Shirt Jac. I like the muted green plaid. Here is what I want to know. Will I be better off with a unlined jacket that I can wear oner more layers. or something lined? I t seems to me that unlined would be more usefull.

I prefer the unlined also!!!!! The "lineing is a cotton/flannel/chamois material. It takes forever to dry out when it's wet,soaks up perspiration,and is not nearly as "warm" as an unlined jacket IMHO.

I've had 4 of them over the years,and was VERY fond of every one.....   :thumbsup:

I would also recommend Bemidji Woolen Mills out of Minnesota.  I also prefer unlined.

I like the un-lined,if you are going to add layers go with a bigger size.I use mine from October right thru winter,a wool vest over it works well for winter cause you can still move your arms.
