Does anybody know what these are? They were like plaid shirts that were about half an inch thick and so soft you could give birth to a Koala on them.
Does anybody know what these are? They were like plaid shirts that were about half an inch thick and so soft you could give birth to a Koala on them. They were a staple for Canadian punks like DOA and were so fucking warm you could live in a fridge but where are they now? I asked eBay and it did its best but I wasn’t impressed.
No it was thicker than this. It had big buttons like an actual coat. It was like a coat shirt.
Meh. You’re getting closer but this still looks to thin and I never saw a green one.
No dude. What are you doing? This is like something out of Newhart. I said no zipper. Fuck.
mine’s thick and winterly and perpetually smells like basement, but it has normal sized buttons.
Giant Tiger has them by the boatload. yeah i said it… Giant Tiger.
Can’t you just take a Harrington jacket and turn it inside out?
uniqlo
Honest Ed’s has them too.
it’s the Paul Bunyan you fucking assneck hosers!

GREAT NOW YOU’RE GONNA SEE A ZILLION OF THESE FACKING THINGS UP & DOWN BEDFORD AVE
It’s not a Paul Bunyan. It’s different. How can an American get one? We don’t have “Honest Ed’s” and “Giant Tiger.”
I saw some selling for around $100 at vintage stores in Chicago, like the one with the big dogs in the front.
Umm… have you ever been to Bedford Ave? Its like the streets are paved with Buffalo Plaid… how nobel.
Oh… and has anyone ever heard of Woolrich… they practically invented plaid.
i have something that sounds like your description and i got it at canadian tire
fuck yeah
Wow, you’ve BEEN to Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York???????
i have one and it’s great. i wear it all the time
come out here to the northwest loggers still were them things try looking at feed and seed stores, small hardware stores, bi-marts, and work and hunting clothing outlets you’ll find them cheap like around $10-20, another good long lasting work shirt is iron workers shirt they cost more but they last through hard work loggers ware them to in the summer with the sleeves cut off
Mass loads at Canadian Tire. What a coincidence. Also my pop’s front porch, at least 6 of them.

Bitch is retarded!
AKA LUMBERJACKETS
Did you check fleet farm… or farm and fleet?
Dear doucheniggers,
Save your $100 and go to any Northern hick town truck stop and they’re like $5. My friend got one from Normans in Gaylord, MI but you have to be mannish to get one that fits. Basically do the opposite of the American Apparel diet, trade coke for bourbon and beef, and trade in your track bike for a card table. Play tons of euchre until your man-cans fill out and you’re all set. Plus your new physique will make you less of a faggot by robbing you of the joy of shopping. Enjoy.
they should fit kinda big anyway so you can layer underneath for work or hunting freezing in the morning to hot in the afternoon plus they keep you pretty dry if it rains with out having to put on some shitty rain coat
they’re all in london vintage shops!
Go to urban outfitters you stupid hipster. Stop trying to look like a blue collar working class American such as myself. It’s annoying because we all know you’re a bunch of pussies that wouldn’t last an hour on the job.
east tennessee. you can get them in east tennessee.
there is a nice store called jed’s on route 291. they sell this very shirt, climbing chalk, and killer chicken fingers.
you will also find women who can cook and men with real forearms.
my bf has at least 5 of these and he wears them every day and never washes them. you can find them at any thrift store outside of a major city where dressing blue collar isn’t some kind of statement.
i got about 8 from my local street market for £10 each
why in the world would someone need 5 or 8 of these 1 or 2 maybe 3 is plenty there just gonna get dirty why put on a new one who you gotta impress?
Marks Work Wearhouse sells these things dirt cheap. Jump on the bandwagon.
those are still all over Canada. Toronto hipsters wear them over AA tanks and stuff.
These things are still all over Vancouver.
These are called shackets in my homeland. I saw a few in Ardvarks in Pasadena just the other day.
Palermo’s are always at the Goodwill or Value Village, or some church owned second hand shops.
Army and Navy lower eastside of Vancouver.

Bangers used to wear them in high school (1980′s). Add a floppy pair of high tops and a frizzy, wiry mullet and you’re done. Fuckin A Rights.
In the North end of Calgary (ie headbanger central, an area called Bowness) they were affectionately known as “Bowness dinner jackets”.
where do you live? on a space station? obviously not vancouver cause this town is RIDDLED w./ those things.
Stoner Jackets.
ask biggie
does this mean I am going to start getting hipster pussy? because I’ve been wearing these from age 10 and yes all my girlfriends have known how to cook and yes I do have real forearms and love chicken fingers, smoke weed, work construction, and listen to metal does this make me a stereotype? so when do I get this pussy I was promised!
I think your best bet is to take a time machine back to 1991 and visit Croteau on the south shore.
These coats are indigenous to Western Canada, and grow on the backs of rig workers to be farmed and later distributed to the Esterhazy, Saskatchewan Wal-Mart. Typically, these coats will be forgotten in your cousin’s half-ton, later to be used as a towel when your cousin’s alternator needs replacement at a Partsource or NAPA.
This has been a special edition of “Hinterland Who’s Who”
they’re all in the value village at pie nine and ontario.
Dearest Gavin,
James of Ottawa is still searching Value Villages tirelessly for yer new jacket. Just give it some time, maaaaaan.
Patagonia makes shit like that
I have one of these that I got at the vintage store (I live in central Tennessee, just like a real hipster lumberjack). It’s from OLD NAVY but looks just like the real kind, I think Woolrich is the main brand that makes them. It’s curious how, as you point out, they’re like a jacket shirt, with shirt styling but a puffy softness.
That large-scale red & black plaid is having a cultural moment right now. It looks cool & anyone wearing it should be able to get pussy.
ALL WRONG. The best are made in New Zealand, are called Swanndri and they are made from little love nuggets so just shut it would you. now somebody may have said that already, I didn’t read through, but I doubt it. Doubt it hard. NZ rep it baby.
you know where you can get em, at places that sell clothes for men who work.
like marks work warehouse, etc… try getting a job and you might lose your
fondness for work attire as fashion statement. and yes they always came in
green
When my dad died I inherited a shitload of these. He always called them his “Dog Blankets” I was too much of a fatty to wear them back then, but now I’m styling all blue collar just getting by Canadian style. Thanks Nutra-system/cocaine!
very mojo nixon. or hank williams III!
Whatever happened to the word “whatever”?
thats a canadian dinner jacket.
you can get them at zellers
canadians like hockey
they’re still here, i wear one
but i still love new york
Go to any Canadian’s cottage. There will be one or two or three hanging up somewhere.
You hipster pricks can’t have everything!
