That New England Sporting Style.
Mr. Horace has rightly pointed out that this ingredient is not as strong as it should be in our mix as we look at Classic Traditional American style from all angles.
LL Bean, Woolrich, Filson, Cabela... This is a thread to collect THAT look.
... I wrote this bit of fluff a while back:

And it's a very timely reminder from Mr. Horace too as all this stuff is perfect for Autumn (Fall).
Personally I love it all & have done since I first set foot in New England. Up 'til then I was very NYC Brooks/Press smart. Then with my first trip to all points North of NYC to Maine I started to learn about the softer, more relaxed American look. Less urban, more small town New England and under-played.
It's a style well worth celebrating.

Woolrich still does the real thing. Red plaid coats that are incredibly thick. You might call it Vermont style, but someone would think you were talking about Stowe.

Heavy Tweed Jacket is showing a nice version of this look:

The Bean Upland coat is the real hunter's version of the ubiquitous field jacket, with game pouch, shell loops and a license tag on back. Arguably de trop for urban wear, but if anyone can carry it off, it's HTJ.

Re: That New England Sporting Style.
and though they were always pricier than woolrich, woolrich seems to have become a boutique brand in like the last 3 mos...filsons might be a better deal as well.
