Hi Bruce,

I buy TONS of stuff from Sportsmans Guide as I have been collecting
militaria long before MVs. Highly recommended place to shop. Check out
the Swedish wool pants. Cheap and VERY warm.

As a side note... one thing I bought from them I use when I drive around
in my Weasel or snowblow my driveway (ride on blower) is a two piece
Swedish winter motorcycle suit. Made out of the toughest cotton you ever
did see (almost canvas) and has a fake detachable fur lining. The great
thing (besides tons of pockets) is that the pants are bibbed both front
and back. The jacket is double breasted, colored, and short. Even at
temps below zero I find sitting around fully exposed to the elements is
not a problem at all with nothing more than regular cloting underneath.
 I think it set me back $40. Looks neat too :-)

Steve
