I wish I'd have kept photos of a vintage one I owned at one time. It was a "No Sag" brand. The pockets were lined and then the chest was backed to the shoulder with heavy cotton fabric so the pockets wouldn't sag down with the weight of the shells. And of course there's the famous Skookum Shooting Sweaters. The real early ones has a short shawl collar and buttons, but of course I can't find a pic of one of those either.

That's six! If I can hustle up enough orders I'll let everybody know further details. I have a list going.

The stripped collar seemed to be holding a few guys back. I talked to Simon about it and we've decided to do away with it all together. The sweater will be just the British Army Green with no dead grass details. I have a few guys committed but need a bunch more to make this happen. Please don't hesitant to get in touch if you're interested.
