THE SHIRT JACKET
Winter Is Easy Now
I work on repairing wind turbine blades, where most of the year we are in good conditions and need nothing but a sweater, but for winter, we often do work on the ground and are stationed in places like Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and other Midwest places that are especially cold AND windy. Well, this jacket does exactly what it says. I stood fire watch for 2 hours in 15*f weather, my beard frozen, and wind howling. This jacket kept me toasty. This product beats any other brand of heavy winter coat you'll buy built in some Chinese sweatshop. Features I appreciate are the deep pockets, long torso, collared wrists, and tall collar that I can practically duct my head inside when it gets really cold. This thing is a beast and I expect it to last my career in Wind. Thank you Wiggys

More Jacket Than Shirt.
Yet another home
run from Wiggy’s. Ordered this to replace my sweater. Nothing wrong with the
sweater just too nice for work. The Nomex and reflective stripe made more
sense.
So far, I’ve worn it at the dog park. We had a very windy and cold weekend. 20+
mph winds and mid 30’s. Of course, I stayed warm. Even my dog was wearing
Wiggy’s. He has his own jacket. Once it came time to walk, I had to unzip.
These jackets and shirts unzipped are warmer than anything you’ll buy with a
fancy logo or name on it. Of course, the quality is amazing and built in the
US.

The shirt jacket was originally made for the oil field workers at Conoco Phillips operations on the North Slope of Alaska. What Wyatt and Dan neglected to say these garments are made from Nomex fabric and are fire retardant too. We have a limited supply of the Nomex fabric so if you want one you should order soon.
When we changed over from no zippered back mukluks to the rear entry zippered bag model it turns out we had some no zippered back inventory.
They will be listed on the web site at a 25 percent discount.
We have 5 xl black
We have three medium, two large and seven extra-large navy nomex
We have one large and one extra-large nomex tan.
