This vintage double mackinaw mas made by Soo Woolen Mills of Michigan in the 1930s.  It is an early style, with a broad collar, a caped front, and four pocket front, with game pocket in back.  There is heavy fading and moth damage, and despite cleaning, the coat still smells like campfire.  This coat saw heavy abuse in its day.  It is unlined, with unusual seam taping only partially up the front. Perfect for the vintage outdoors or workwear look.

Hydro Duck Canvas Coat

I sold this to a friend of mine at school.

Blaze orange canvas, reversible to hunting plaid. Clix zips on the game pouch and sleeve pocket. Leather reinforcement on the pockets. Made by Weather Chief. Supposedly water proof/resistant. I put that to the test by wearing it in light rain and found it to be patently false. Canadian Wildlife Federation patch, and some nice fade to the canvas.

This vintage jacket was made in the late ’50s or early 1960s by Alberg of Montreal.  It is a bright red flannel blazer with a black velvet collar.  Very much a hunt inspired blazer.  It has a short rear vent, one button on each sleeve, and no breast pocket.  There is some slight staining to the front of the jacket, which could probably be taken care of with a dry cleaning.  The jacket is half-lined in dark red.
Chest: 22″
Shoulder to Shoulder: 18-1/2″
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 25″
Length: 32″

Soo Woolen Mills Hunting Mackinaw

I think this is my favorite style of hunting mackinaw.  It was made by Soo Woolen mills, and has a button front, with a large collar.  The plaid is more interesting than the buffalo plaid used on a comparable woolrich of the era.  This one has two button chest pockets, and two button handwarmer pockets.  There is a large game pouch in back.  The coat is lined in gray flannel.  There is heavy mothing and staining throughout, and broken button on the sleeve- this was a coat which saw a lifetime of use and abuse in the field.
