I have found a woobie hoodie !!!

Dad brought home a number of sets of bottoms & tops that looked like that (w/o the hood), but in olive green. He called them Chinese Underwear 'casue they looked like what the Maoists wore.

They were comfy & warm for being so thin & lightweight! Given today's insulating fibers, I bet those are pretty swank.

EDIT: And considerably more fashionable than Mao would approve of!

Brother, you have no idea.

I ordered a coyote like 10 mins ago
 
I got tired of my woobie being taken, so I bought one for each kid and the wife for Christmas. Each has their own pattern. Marpat for me, woodland for Eric, ACU for the wife and chocochip for Ian. Nobody can claim anyone else's woobie that way.
 
I grew up making forts of the woodland ones dad brought home. So it hits on some nostalgia but my cheapness will likely stop me. Neat product.
 
Long overdue. Used to keep my field jacket liner (smoking jacket) in the middle outside pocket of my large ALICE ruck for decades. There's the corresponding bottom pants that button into the field trousers (same material as the M65 Field jacket). They are good insulation for a Cold Dry environment. Not so good in a Cold Wet environment without the outer shells. Have my old woodland poncho liner over my sheets here in Astan as I type this.

I still have my field jacket, which I never wear, but I love, love, the liner.
 
I wish someone would produce a "Graf jacket". I had 2 I brought back from Germany in '89 but they went mia years ago. For those that have no idea of what I speak of, it's an old OD rainjacket w/hood with a woobie lining sewed in by a local German seamstress.
 
I ordered me a tiger striped one! Thanks for the heads up.
 
If I wasn't a broke POS I'd order one. I still have my woody cam field jacket with liner (can't zip it up though cause now I'm a fat slimy walrus looking piece of sh*t!) I enlisted durring the transition period between BDU and gAyCU so I did have the rare ACU field jacket as well but I can't remember if that got turned in or what (and f*ck that pattern so I hope that jacket died a horrible death!). I did make sure my woody cam one stayed away from the evil people at CIF taking my stuff that has memories of good times attached to it. Managed to "acquire" another woobie to turn in though so I could hold on to mine that had stories to tell if only it could talk.

While I was in recruiting one of our RPIs were these ACU pattern woobies with a zipper and a small pillow (branded of course). Holy f*cking dog shit they're great! It can be just a regular woobie or you can zip it up to be a fart sack and it all zips up into a convenient little package.



 
You need to be signed up to get the sales notices as they sell out as fast as they can make them; you can even send them your own woobie. I think the next big run will be in June.

These are made in Southern Pines from genuine new issue woobies...I am waiting on a smoking jacket.

I'd like to find the original vendor for the old pvc type wet weather jackets from the 80's and have them sew me up another Graf jacket. They were all we wore in the wet German winters. I borrowed this pic of one off of the Internet. Edit:Looks like East Wind Industries made them.....long goneIMG_1911.JPG
