Soo Woolen Mills Hunting Mackinaw

Now on eBay!
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.
Chest: 24″
Sleeve: 25-1/2″
Shoulder to Shoulder: 19″
