Thought we would switch gears for bit.

Green/Gray Wool Pullover with Leather Armguards

Pretty Unique.

Another neat find Nick! I'm like Kuch with some of the older Pendleton's. I do frequent the thrift stores and Antique lots looking for older wool shirts and coats but never seen anything like this one.

NICE! But should it not have a quiver sewn to the back?  :goldtooth:

Lon, Not sure if you are serious or not, but I have only seen one other one and I don't believe it had a quiver on it either.

NICE! Great find, Nick. I just picked up a red plaid, Woolrich hunters jacket with the game pouch sewed into the back for $10 at the Flea Market.

Nick...not really serious.  :knothead:  

Someone posted pics of a vintage "archer's vest" that had a quiver sewn into the back.  

I love that coat you have, even without a quiver.  ;)

Nick you forgot to mention the previous owner shot right handed!  I assume since you showed the built in arm guard section of the right arm and it was in great condition, the other sleeve wasn't in as good a condition. This, to me would indicate the hand he held the bow with was his left!

I wish I was a few minutes quicker finding that one.    ;)      :readit:    

Great find!

Charlie, You are right! I was actually doing that to show that the left cuff was adjustable and the right was not!

Nick,
You snagged that one from me barely!  

What a cool example of days past - when archery was still viewed in a way that had companies like Woolrich making clothing that was specifically for us archers!

Nobody could wear that and not feel the history of archery!
