    People don't even go to funerals that way, anymore.

  3. Had one of those jackets 35 years ago.

  4. I have that exact same jacket in a different color. It is almost completely unlined--just a touch in the shoulders. It was my dear departed grandfather's jacket, one that he wore for yardwork. He had a few of them; I don't know what happened to the others.

    I also have one of his old Pendleton shirts, as well as a couple of my own Pendleton blankets. All of these things were made in the good old US of A. Now it seems that their woolens are foreign made of US fabrics, and everything else is just plain "imported." So sad.
