Wick or Greenbrier Coat

Does anyone know where you could get a WICK coat or a Bill Boatman greenbrier at?

Me n friend was talkin other night huntin about dogs we wish we wouldve bred to or bought semen off and stored and I told em biggest mistake we ever made was not buyi bout four wick coats and some overalls we wouldn have to worry bout em anymore. I have a coat thats 14 yr old the cuffs are a lil frailed but material looks like it did when I bought it then I have a nite lite coat that I won at a hunt it wont zip the material is comin un sewed its nowhere close to sameqsame quality

I know It's not answering the question that was asked but i'd suggest Dan's Brier proof. They're sewing is all done locally by amish.
Another suggestion would be Stone Creek. I never had a Wick jacket but It's my understanding Stone Creek's jacket is about the same thing.

Probably not alot of guys on here that remember Boatmans greenbriar coat, sure would like a new one of those.

Yeh, tell me about the nitelite coat. Bought one new, worn it since Nov. 10th. All the threadings coming undone. Gonna send that piece of junk back. Thought I'd take a shot about the wick or boatman coats.

I have a greenbrier that is just like new it is a XL has not been worn a hand full of times

My dad had a greenbrier that he used for many many years. I would hate to count the number of hides that thing carried. One thing I remember about that coat is how heavy it was. I loved it when I was big enough to wear it..... that was back in the 70's.

Wish I had that coat and his squaller back. Is the Bill Boatman
catalogue still available? I just googled it and most dates say 2007.

Old Bill is long gone RIP... That was my favorite catalog when I was a kid. Always wanted a greenbriar coat and could not afford one.

I found the Green hunting coat by MULE hunting clothes to be very similar same material as the later greenbriars 1000 denear cordura and built in game bag. The MULE kinda made my dream come true and should last forever.

Greenbiar

I got one gave to me at a guys place where I did some work , was hanging in his garage and looks like brand new , but I have been putting this years coon in it ...

I have both wick coat is by far a better coat. My old boatman coat is made out of some kind of canvas type stuff heavy good coat just heavy. My grandpa bought it in 69 or 70 still looks great though

The wick and greenbriar hunting coats with game bags are not made anymore.Dan's front loader coat is next best with front loading gamebag.You don't have to take the coat off to put in the gamebag.The coat is hot to wear,but great on them cold nights.Stone Creek uses wicks material,but don't have the gamebag on them yet.I been trying to get Don to make me one for years.That's why I got a dan's coat and I like the reflecense orange for rabbit hunting also.

I have a pair of Mule Bibs that came from Boatmans. He in enter the Mule wear. I just got a pair of chaps from Mule. Like them a lot.
