Awesome. . .   And you look pretty good too !

How is drawing the bow with that jacket ?  I am shaped weird and can never draw with my jacket on,  sleeves and shoulders would not allow it.

I love it! You can go straight from the woods to the restaurant or movies without looking the least bit out of place. Thanks for sharing.
God bless,Mudd

Chuck, I went with a jacket 2 sizes larger- it was the only Pendleton at Goodwill at the time    :thumbsup:  .  While being buttoned or unbuttoned, I shoot my LB with about a 45 degree cant.  The string doesn't contact the front portion of the jacket; only the extended arm if string slap is a problem for you.  I regularly shoot with an armguard and glove, but not while hunting.  I operationally check my entire set up religiously each year, and felt no issues at all.  I was surprised at after being so comfortable, why more hunters don't do it.

When I still worked at a bank I often would shoot an arrow or two before leaving for work.  Only took one time of having the string catch my tie to make me start tucking it in first!   :scared:

Whip, my crooked horn outfitter bino harness goes over the undershirt and tie, then the coat is placed on- also acts as a rain barrier for my eyecups.  If you didn't have one of the harnesses, I could see how if the tie is not secured, could become real fun, real quick...

That is a nice outfit. In the woods or out.
A little more than some are going to and no more "camo" hipe. That probably blends in well to the undergrowth.

That does it! I'm going to hit Goodwill and the Salvation Army stores this week. I am dying to have some wool pants in about any color other than blue or black. It's a great look and with the right hat, it'd be perfect. IMHO

Don't forget the wool boxers. you can make a rub of your own.

OB, great outfit and good idea. Is the Filson vest under the jacket too? All the old time pics have men wearing ties and they are universally tucked into the shirt through about the second button gap. Thanks for this thread.

Safety first. While a tie in the bowstring won't rip your head off, still, not real safe. But, hey, to each his own.
