Any of you fellers know where to get a wick jacket i have looked all over i heard they quit making them so i figured there is no better place than here to ask Thanks also if there is anything out there that is like wicks... brush buster type material id be interested in that.... im not trying to buy anything from this section just wanting to know where to find it Thanks guys

wicks closed a year or to ago....dans hunting clothes is like wicks i like it a lot of guys swear by mule but for the price i like dans better...chip eisenhut sells them on his site. thats who i bought from
http://www.eisenhutdogsupplies.com/dans/dans.htm

Nite Light also sells brush proof bibs and jackets...
http://www.huntsmart.com is their web site.
I prefer the Dans when it is warmer like now... but nite lite has the insulated bibs and jackets as well as a three in one parka type that is good for them real cold days. Dans is also REAL reasonable on prices... an Omish community in Ohio just trying to make a living... good fellas.

someone posted on the board a while back that some had purchased equipement and material from the fokes a Wick and were going to start producing the produce again. Does anyone have an update.

Briers tear the nite lite stuff up....
Water proof but not tough no good for'' RAbbit Hunter''....

May cost more, but if you buy a Mule clothing, it will be the last you buy, unless you change size. Best stuff I ever saw for upland game of any kind. I've never had a single briar get through. Can't wear it out. If you ask nicely, they will even do custom work like transmitter pockets, etc. for you. Spend the money and be satisfied.

Wick was bought out, and is being made in Altoona Pa. I don't much about the new stuff, maybe some one else can help you out with that.

Catfish:

Wick was not bought out, Stone Creek Supply has bought material that is the same as Wick's and is starting to make clothing. Jackets now, chaps and bibs to follow. Check out their site for contact info, http://www.stonecreekhounds.com

yeah i looked there last night but i cant find any jacket info i really like that dans stuff with the orange and brown gamebag everything in one

I have only had the Nite Lite bibbs and jacket for one season so cannot speak to the resistance to briars. Thank you for your advise as I will wear it cautiously next year (if it gets cold nuff... real warm stuff ). I purchased the new shirt (canvas w/ briar proof sleeves and chest). Has worked out real well with their bibbs this spring... the craftsmanship on this shirt needs some work... but all in all a good purchase. I run with a beagler that uses Mule and swears by it... he says pertty myuch the same as flatpick... "Shuld have bought Mule... you'll never need another pair" so IF my Dans get too ragged... I will try Mule.

so do you wear night lites mule or dans? not being smart just wondering

Now that it is warm Dans.... I have a pair of bibbs for after a rain, chaps for the dry hot running and the shirt (I believe it was like model 134). check out crownpointsupply... they are a member and in the "Equipment trading post".

I purchased the Nite Lite insulated bibbs and 3 way jacket last fall and wore it a cpl of times early Janurary... but the briars were not so thick that I would have noticed any fault with the fabric holding up. I will say I liked the warmth and the fact they are 100% rainproof.

I wore wicks still have a pair of bibs my dad wore and i took when i grew into em id say 8 years old maybe but i just bought dans and love it great quality made here in ohio....Like was previously stated wicks wasnt bought out the other company bought similar material and is producing similar stuff dont know much about em...i like the dans because they arent quite as thick as the mules and i walk a lot and there great for bein on the move in the brush or woods....and the price is great....

I think im gonna go with the dans front loading game bag jacket in brown and orange thanks guys

good choice and remember they back anything in workmanship that goes wrong. and theyre hand made
