Here's my friend with one on asking the judge to lower a dingbats bail, he also has the down parka. That was the trend back in the day along with the yazoo hat. Drake waterfowl has the old school camo pattern in there line.

I had a great upland coat; JC Penny issue with red flannel lining, and the lining had images of setters all over it. My wife picked it up at a garage sale. Unfortunately it got a bit "snug" (ahem!) over the years; I finally sold it on ebay. Broke my heart; I loved that coat. The vintage hunting gear sure seems to have had a bit more style!

Your friend is wearing the pattern from either Cabela's or Columbia, I remember it pretty well too as my father had a set. The Bob Allen is a bit different as it has actual outlines of ducks in the pattern itself. The pants might be Bob Allen, I can't tell for sure.

Looks like he's using an Olt Model 800 goose call, that's definitely old school.

I gave my Mossy Oak Bottomland pattern Yazoo Hat to a friend a couple years ago. He'd lost his original one and I never wore it so I figured what the hell.

Well, you guys got me all fired up for one of those Bob Allen jackets; found a nice one on eBay. Bid higher than I wanted to go and still got outbid! Hope I didn't just bid someone here up, but I hope someone got it who'll appreciate it. Damn, I wanted that coat !
