[Porchdog]

I grew up just down the road from Woolrich - I have plenty of Woolrich stuff.

For fishing I have a Filson Packer hat and wading jacket. I also have a blaze orange wool/tincloth cap for hunting. Each about 20 years old. They keep me dry. "Might as well have the best".

I inherited my dad's old Duluth cruiser pack - which went all over the world with him. I sent it back to the company and they replaced straps (reusing hardware at my request) and patched some holes and attachment points. The lady I spoke with there said it was made in the late 50's /early 60's, which would match up with the time he was living in Michigan.

I'm a fan of quality gear.
