[philmont] Better Red Wool Jackets

Gang,

I see a reference to the red wool Scout jackets getting thinner and more expensive. I agree.

Here's a great option... and the best part is it's an official jacket and looks the same as the thinner and more expensive model.

Bemidji Woolen Mills in Bemidji, MN makes the red wool Scout jackets for Northern Tier. It's a heavier material AND it has slash pockets in the front.

THEN, when you throw in the fact it comes with the same BSA patch already sewn on the pocket, they come in TALL SIZES and are in the range of $40 less than the one made by company "X", I say it's a case of getting more for less.

Bought one for my son and I'm already envious. It's a nicer jacket than mine.

When you look at the link, the jacket appears to not be available in the TALL sizes. However, the Scout jacket is the same as their Voyageur jacket which is available in the tall sizes. Simply give them a call.

The other option is to call Northern Tier and order it there. Their trading post inventory is online. Go to www.ntier.org and click on the Trading Post Catalog link.

(No, I don't work for either Bemidji or NT. Just a happy Scouter who likes their product.)
