My Dad had lots of that stuff in fact that looks almost like a vest he had only it's bigger than his. I'm beginning to think my dad collected and used old hunting and fishing stuff. Yes. Duxbak was founded in 1904. Since the old brands were high quality and made in the USA they were made to last. Ultimately the quality was there downfall due to cheap foreign imports starting in the late 60s. Many hunters wore hand-me-down hunting clothes because they tended to last a long time. I find tons of hunting clothes here in Michigan at garage sales. The really old stuff is harder to find these days and is sought after. The Duxbak name has been bought and sold many times and is still around today but the quality will never be what it originally was sadly.
