This fabric stands as a steadfast companion for those who cherish long-lasting adventure and resilience against nature's elements. Cotton canvas is a versatile material: it can be waxed to repel water, it bravely guards against the sharpest thorns and edges, and its sturdy weave shields you from the fiercest winds. Whether you're navigating through dense woods or braving mountain trails, cotton canvas offers a reliable fortress of comfort and protection.

Ten ounce cotton canvas falls into a middle ground in the realm of jackets. Tough and durable enough to last for decades if properly cared for, but not too heavy for fall and spring weather. Our choice to use ten ounce canvas will ensure that your jacket withstands wearing, tearing and washing.

The final touches include zippers and snaps made by Talon, the first company to take out a patent for a zipper. It's finished in antique brass for a vintage look. In case of snags, drop a dollop of Zipper Ease or other zipper lubricant on there and run the zipper a few times.

We've also decided to manufacture our jacket here in the United States. This decision allows us, and you, to support local American garment manufacturing. Once a proud and thriving sector of the American economy, much of this work has been outsourced to India, Vietnam, Mexico and other places. We hope that our choice to manufacture the McGrath Bomber here in the US will provide support not only to domestic manufacturing, but to the families of those employed in the business of clothing production.

The woobie was invented in the 1960s for use in Vietnam. US troops found that wool blankets didn't work too well in humid conditions, so the military developed a water resistant nylon and polyester blanket.

The nylon exterior and polyester filling maintains warmth even when wet.

The woobie is a fantastic choice for outdoor excursions of all types due to its light weight and water resistance.

As with most USGI gear, the woobie is proudly made in the USA.

These woobies are in brand new, unissued condition. The same as they were when they left the factory in the mid-1990s.
