I can see myself getting a lot of use out of it, the fabric is the same Master Shield as the Urbanite and Sasquatch jackets but it's not lined.
While being 100% cotton and breathable, it's very lightweight, windproof / waterproof* (up to a point), I'd love to find out more information about how it's actually made.

What model?

[LazyS]

1947 I got from @Least Weasel  last year who got them from Hoosier

[ken1123]

Gave some wears to my 601xx 1946 Paint Model recently

[Broark]

Nice, not a model you see very often!

[Double 0 Soul]

I'm a bit out of the FW's loop.. what was on the back pocket? 

It looks like the flash from the 39s

Yup that's correct, this was a "1946" edition from 2020 I believe.

Yeah, it was faded a bit.

The denim is standard 1947 denim.

[ATWM]

^ For me this is the one that got away. I’ve kept my eye out for a pair to no luck. Nice to see them! 

I hope FW does another ‘46 iteration at some point.

Gave my 33 jacket its second wash today. Coming along slowly but I’m starting to see some progress. 

[shredwin_206]

Trying my best to get that @Double 0 Soul fades

Just reorganizing all my FW ephemera, they had largely been left disorganized but loosely grouped by sub label.
Largest count of the lot are the Power Wear items (tees, sweats, etc.) followed by Union Special and Great Lakes.
Didn't have the wherewithal to get a total count, but maybe one day. I did take note that my oldest item is from 2013.

is it just me or is the 44-45 s506xx jacket cut significantly longer than the others?(mainly the 46-47 506xx)

 

great combo with the rb though

[shredwin_206]

@yochrisahn yea. This wwii type 1 seems much longer than my 1927 type 1 but it’s also a size larger. So that combined with the later years I think makes it extra long 

[MJF9]

^ yeah longer but also bigger on all measurements for the same tag size than the 46-47 version (from when I checked a few places)

[shredwin_206]

your reminder that the denim pullover is the piece you shouldn’t have slept on. 
This is just getting so damn good. 

[julian-wolf]

Anyone have any info on this ???

Bootleggers 601 in 32x34 for 46,000 yen

[Lorcan]

Hah I've been looking at that pair... someone buy them so I don't have to. Might be a bit slim in the thighs for me vs some of the current 601 models. There's another pair in sz32 still with tags and flasher too but more expensive

[Double 0 Soul]

You should all chip-in, buy them and tour them.. i think you'll find it's tradition 

What the hell is that thing @julian-wolf is it a bottle bag or is it a chalk bag?

[julian-wolf]

@Double 0 Soul Chalk bag—just the style I prefer, too

[Double 0 Soul]

Awesome, if you haven’t already.. buy it! It’s cool af!

[mlwdp]

Anybody willing to buy the AFA grunts jacket?
