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.

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.

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.

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.
