So i just received my order from Cabelas consisting of
one Outfitter Series Mountain Range Wool Fleece in Charcoal,
One pair of Riggs Work Wear Ranger Pants in Loden,
and one Browning Merino Wool/nylon blend base layer.

I have to say im pretty blown away. The base-layer is perfect and fits really well (i got a large)

Same story for the pants, they fit great and are exactly what i was looking for for a good pair of field pants,

But,
The fleece jacket is really what has me excited enough to post.
Its really better than i hoped for. Its 70%wool 30% nylon, with a very robust outer layer, and a great synthetic fleece layer on the inside. Its incredibly warm, and right out of the bag, just by handling it, its really well made.
They are on sale for 50$ down from 80&!!

I highly recommend this to anybody who's looking for a good fleece layer/jacket. I am very happy with this great deal.

all three are on sale in the bargain cave!
 
Do you have a link to those items, or did you get them in the retail store? I have been looking for a good lightweight wool jacket.
 
Mine's about 10 minutes on the other side of town!
 
Mine is about an hour away but the kids love going so much we make the trip about once a month.
 
I hardly buy from Cabela's since they opened a store here. I have never been to the store and have to pay almost 10% taxes now when mailordering. Put the prices up too high with shipping and that sales tax.
 
Yeah. I am very satisfied with it. I chose the Charcoal color in size Large. Its pretty much perfect. Also, i have a decent Columbia brand synthetic fleece jacket, and this trumps that one. The Cabelas has a good thick fairly tightly woven wool outer, but unlike the Columbia one, it has a synthetic fleece liner sewn it. It was quite the pleasent surprise. The jacket is very warm and comfortable, Ive had a few chances to use it since it arrived, and i have to say, it looks pretty darn sharp. :cool:

Its been getting down to the mid 30s here at night, just shy of freezing and if i'm active, walking around or working on something, i'm staying perfectly warm with the fleece, jeans, boots, a good pair of gloves and a baseball cap. No need for another outer layer, just the fleece and a shirt or two on under it. By the fire, it's much the same. Very warm, even more so than i anticipated when i first tried it on.
 
i thought it was great when they opened one in lacey, wa but that turned out to be a hell of a jaunt from seattle. when they announced opening one in marysville i was thrilled thats only a 30 min drive for me and my kids live up there. i will be alot more broke now.
 
i would imagine one would do well in New Jersey. If they opened one on Ocean County somewhere, all of the people that hunt, fish, camp, etc would patronize it, and there's a lot of stuff like that to do in south jersey.
 
I don't want to be the party pooper here, but I just can't get excited about shopping any more. I'm old enough to fondly remember mailorder shopping at places like L.L. Bean and Herter's back in the day when outdoors gear was quality stuff made here in the USA. Sure, you can get nice stuff at fantastic prices today, but what's the real cost? What have we lost? Are you going to want to hand down your Bangladeshi-made fossil fuel-based polyester parka to your grandson?

We live in a time of change and in a global marketplace now, and sure, money is always a consideration. But when I'm looking for something specifically to use for my precious time in the woods, I at least want to think about what it's made of and where it comes from. I love to own things that have a bit of heritage and a good story, and usually not a story that involves maximized profits, global shipping, worker exploitation and pollution.

The nearest Cabelas to Portland is the store in Springfield, OR but just barely, the store in Lacey, WA is only about 5 miles further in the opposite direction. Both are right at 2 hrs away if traffic is light.

I'm surprised there isn't a bass pro shop or cabelas in or around Portland, it's a pretty strong market for a good outdoors shop.
