    The warmest, toughest fleece jacket I have ever owned. And it's CHEAP.

    The pants that go with these are also very good and very cheap. Like $10-$12. They are 200wt fleece. Not 300 like the jackets. But are very thick and very warm. I think Coleman's and McGuire's Surplus sell them. Probably eBay too. This combination of fleece pants and jacket can not be beat. You...

    The warmest, toughest fleece jacket I have ever owned. And it's CHEAP.

    Just remember these were made to fit over armor. Or something. They are very big. Try to buy from Allegheny on eBay. They are the fairest surplus seller on eBay. Descriptions are always right. Meaning their grade A or B says exactly what it is. If your buying new - just make sure the seller is...

    BIG fleece beanie? Don't make me ask my Mom.

    They're great. But the only fleece beanie they sell has been out of stock forever.

    BIG fleece beanie? Don't make me ask my Mom.

    I finally found a big fleece beanie! And it was only $8 on AliExpress! I might try to find another seller for cheaper. But this hat just came yesterday and it's huge compared to any other one I've tried. Takes a week or two for delivery. But I buy about 100-200 products a year from AliExpress...

    FNG from PNW

    Yes. Prices are coming down. Everywhere. I have never seen so many price reductions of things already on the market. And a glut of high priced stuff trying to take advantage of the high end of the market here. Seems to be quite a few luxury mansions. That were built during the boom of 4 yrs...

    BIG fleece beanie? Don't make me ask my Mom.

    One year for Christmas my ex and I made everyone in the family fleece jackets, hats and neck gaiters. We found a fabric store going out of business so the fleece was super cheap. It was really easy. None of them were super fancy. But this was over 30 yrs ago. And I was still using the gator 20...

    BIG fleece beanie? Don't make me ask my Mom.

    Ya. Fleece doesn't stretch either. I bought a Voodoo Tactical fleece beanie a couple weeks ago. Been stretching it everytime I put it on. But it always goes back to it's original size. And gives me a headache. I contacted that hat maker on eBay. And she could not make one. Or was not...

    The warmest, toughest fleece jacket I have ever owned. And it's CHEAP.

    The fleece is so much thicker than any other jacket I've looked at. But I don't really look much at expensive jackets. The original 300wt fleece just seems tougher too. My Columbia fleece jackets don't even compare. It's more of a brushed fleece. The Polartec jacket is like a thick, dense pile...

    BIG fleece beanie? Don't make me ask my Mom.

    That's exactly what I'm going to have her make. Just military style in 200 or 300wt Polartec. Nice and loose. So there's room to heat some air. And not like a rubber band around my head.

    BIG fleece beanie? Don't make me ask my Mom.

    It's one size fits all. Do you have knowledge that it's that big? Most "one size fits all" are no where close to size 8 1/4.

    The warmest, toughest fleece jacket I have ever owned. And it's CHEAP.

    I own a ton of fleece jackets. But the best fleece jacket I have ever seen- BY FAR - is the USGI Polartec 300 fleece jacket. It will blow your mind. And would probably cost several hundred in the civilian market. Just for the super thick and durable Polartec 300 fleece fabric. But it can be had...

    BIG fleece beanie? Don't make me ask my Mom.

    Looking for a big Polartec fleece beanie. Simple military style. Black. 100wt or better. Size 8 1/4 though. Which is 25.5 inches. Not knit. Just heavyweight fleece. Like this. I think this is the Rothco military copy. But it's one size fits all. Which means not for my watermelon head. Or...

    Need advice. Land in Lincoln county MT?

    I think I just paid for my membership here 200 times over. What on earth does "removal methods" mean? How do you remove something that is all over the ground and tree bark? Slash and burn? And then bulldoze it into the sea? Man.

    Need advice. Land in Lincoln county MT?

    I don't wish to be near any of those things. And assume at least a 2hr drive to Kalispell for supplies bimonthly or the like. MT is a second choice from Alaska. So that is where my mind is at. Lincoln county seems doable comparatively. I'm not having to fly or boat anything in. As far as...

    How can locate the vermiculite mine on a map?

    Need advice. Land in Lincoln county MT?

    That's all I'm hoping for. :) Nothing more. Just trying not to make a mistake. And end up in a bad spot. Regretting taking such a big risk.

    Need advice. Land in Lincoln county MT?

    I'm older. Came from next to nothing. We hunted or trapped for what we ate. Or what we needed. My family worked in the woods in one way or another. No one was getting rich. I left and joined the Marine Corps. Then spent some decades back and forth growing a couple businesses. And sold them. I'm...
