I am a retired “hogger” and i have a question for the people working in this industry.When i was working i always liked to wear a unlined long jean jacket with a hooded zipper up sheatshirt underneath.Many places in the Minneapolis St Paul area sold OshKosh,Lee,Big Mac,Key and some others but now i cannot find any of these jackets anywhere expect for buying a used from e-bay for $200.I was wondering if anyone knows where these may be available.
I picked one up this past summer made by Liberty overalls. Got it on-line, but don’t recall the source. Search on-line for “shop coats.”
Is this like what you want?

Mainly the loss of the garmet industry in this country.
We may have hit the point where the internet generation doesn’t even know there was a garment industry in this country.
My feet are the same shapes as Donald Duck’s feet, therefore finding shoes that fit are hard to find. I always buy the same brand and style of shoes because I found something that works. They truly look like Charlie Brown’s shoes. Recently, my local, way-over-priced retail sporting goods store has decided to only stock up to size 8 in my style of men’s shoes. So off I go to the internet.
On Amazon’s website they have my shoes. In the description, it lists the shoes as being “Made in the USA or imported”. That narrows it down. They also have my shoes available in shiitake color. I think I’ll stick with brown- Charlie Brown brown.
Murphy, Try Wolverine World Wide, (the Hush Puppy guys). They do a lot of Extra Wides for those of us with pontoons for feet.
Murphy, surely you are not the only one in town with feet that big? Or is the shoe purveyor afraid of Big Feet?[:)]
Murphy and the rest of us duck-footed people: Have you checked JCPenney on-line? I’ve been able to find shoes for my wide feet there.
Whatever good stuff e-COMS has to offer, Carhartt, Duluth Trading, or anything else that can cut out that cold Rawlins winter.
I’m looking for striped bib lederhosen for work.

There are probably some online stores that specialize in that type of apparel, but I’d guess those sites aren’t geared toward business pursuits. [:-,]
I’m a fussy shoe shopper, because I have fat, whimpy feet. I want to put the shoes on and walk around the store a couple of times. The sporting goods store was the only place I’ve found in town that had something that works.
Nordstrom’s Rack has been my haven of things that end in at least two or more 'E’s
I think I’d pay to see that… [}:)]
I have ginormous feet, too. Wissota Trader, the company from which I bought shoes for years, has gone out of business. An outfit called B. A. Mason appears to carry similar shoes, but I’ve never tried them. If you try Mason please let me know how it goes.
I think I’d pay not to see it.
I guess what they say is true …
“The wider a man’s foot, the more he likes trains”
