Finally got a flag pole and have it set up.  Old Glory is flying in the breeze on top and then comes the 'Triple Threat'.

It is a well made book, beautifully done book, but some previous owner appears to have cut all the marker ribbons , which means strips of paper or something similar. SLiMG is excellent. I once used Imageshack and still have a large album there, but cannot use it now for new images, unless I register and pay.

Duck cloth chore jacket. I wanted a mid-weight jacket, and wanted one that will last a long time. This thing's bulletproof!  I have every confidence that I'll be able to wear it for at least the next two decades. Carhartt, if anyone's interested.

Carhartt, if anyone's interested.

That's was my first guess.

No pre-washed LL Bean for me! I want to break it in myself.

I ought to post a picture of my Carhartt coat.  I think it's 11 years old and I'm still wearing it in my workshop.  Sooner or later random strangers are going to start handing me money whenever I do a quick run to the store after work.

Edit:  Maybe I could sell it for $150 to a fashion-forward teenager and get a new one?  Hmmm.

There you go. It's not used, it's "distressed."

Forgot to ask: do you have the blanket-lined one? That's the one I got, and the "blanket" material seems uncomfortably stiff, like thin scouring pad. Any chance it's going to soften up, or should I sell it and go for the quilted version? I was prepared for stiff canvas, not so much for stiff lining.

Well until it softens, wear something under it that doesn't translate the feel of the lining. My hubby and sons have never had a car hart that didn't eventually become quite comfy.

I have two coats.  The primary has the quilted, satin liner.  That's my old one that I wear everyday.  The second was a gift from my parents who evidently got tired of seeing me wearing the old one and that is fleece-lined.  It's too nice to trash up in the shop so I only wear it if I'm not working.  Neither one is stiff but the fleece version is the softest.

I also used to own one of their shirt jacs (mine was red).  It was retired after being destroyed by a few years of working in it.  Handling lumber is hard on sleeves.  Unfortunately, I don't remember how stiff that one was.  I think it was pretty broken in but considering the use I gave it, that's not surprising.

The reviews that I read described the lining as "soft". Every time I touch it, I cringe. I don't understand it: is it impregnated with some kind of chemicals, like fabric sizing? If it wasn't triple-stitched duckcloth with all of those rivets (which I actually appreciate), I would take the lining out and replace it with one of my choice. But this thing might have to end up on eBay (which is where I got it in the first place). :/

Carhartt is the best!  I received to pair of Carharrt work pants for Christmas .
