Story:

For generations, wildfowling was a way of life along the Eastern Seaboard and market gunning had been a necessary and respected profession. With the enactment of the Migratory Bird Act of 1918, the variant interests of the market gunner and the Federal Game Warden unfolded as a real-life cat-and-mouse game. The struggle became legendary and nowhere was it more vividly played out than along the tidewaters and estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay. Part-time friends and part-time foes, one thing the gunner and the warden shared equally was the bitter gnaw of winter’s salty northwest blows.

When it comes to staying warm, modern-day outfitters have nothing on these men. Dressing in layers was just common sense and garments like the Outlaw Gunner Jacket were a key component of every bayman’s garb. Worn as an intermediate layer under oiled cotton smocks and bib pants, early versions were often fashioned from discarded quilts or horse blankets.

Our 25th Anniversary Outlaw Gunner Vest is a limited production run; each vest is marked with a unique serial number identifier. Made with our exclusive, 6oz. DryHandle®, 100% cotton weatherproof fabric. This vest is the sistership of the time-honored and essential component of warmth on the bay…the Outlaw Gunner Jacket.  A tight 2x2 quilt pattern over the DryHandle® helps build air pockets in the poly-fill insulation and keeps them in place. The vest is fully lined with a mid-weight fleece. Outfitted with two large hand-warmer pockets, a front chest pocket, two zippered utility pockets inside. The body is fitted, as a vest should be, so that it can be comfortably layered under other jackets and coats or worn on its own as the secondary outer layer.

Spot clean by hand using mild soap if necessary. However, DryHandle® fabric is stubbornly stain-resistant, so a once-over with a damp sponge is usually all you will need.

Excerpt from our 1998 catalog

A Haulin’ They Go!

From Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to Gloucester, Massachusetts, the fishing if best when the weather is at its worst…late Fall and Winter, that’s just the way the cycle runs. And if you work hard and can accept the risks, there’s ample reward to be had. It’s not for everyone. The U.S. Department of Labor ranks commercial fishing as the most dangerous occupation in America.

On deck or below, our Longliner’s Wool Vest is a warming companion in a place where companions are few and the only things warm are the manifolds in the engine room. The 100% Virgin Wool shell is fully lined with sateen quilted to a 100 gm Primaloft® insulation. Traditional button front placket closure; two, deep handwarmer pockets; zippered side-entry chest pocket.

The Chamois Dock Shirt in Rust

Chamois Dock Shirt in Rust, 100% Cotton

We’ve built a lot of great shirts over the years. Looking back, every one of them owes its pedigree to this one…the patriarch of our shirt program. As with all our builds, it all starts with the superior raw material selection. As my Uncle Jack used to say: “It’s tough getting to a place called great starting from a place called so-so.” True in boatbuilding, true in decoy carving and true here in our Chamois Dock Shirt.

The Cloth

Chamois cloth is a Northeastern Seaboard classic, made popular by that fellow from Maine in the 1920s. We’ve taken Chamois cloth up a few notches by selecting a superior, Portuguese 100% cotton yarn and weaving it in a twill pattern. Why twill? Because in a twill weave the yarns are packed more tightly together which makes the fabric stronger, thicker and more abrasion resistant than plain weave made from the same yarn. After some serious napping and brushing on both sides of the fabric, we end up with this 10oz. weight, bruiser of a fabric.

The Build

• Double-needle stitching throughout
• Two, military-style angled front pockets with button closure flaps
• Reinforced hem patch seams with zig-zag stitching
• Two, 1” expansion plackets at shoulder back
• Engineered underarm gussets with two sewn-in ventilation eyelets
• Collar, pocket flaps and sleeve cuffs are lined with nylon satin
• Sewn-in name tag eyelets, left pocket
• Built in Portugal

The Fit

• Cut a bit roomier than our standard block (the full torso), and also in the neck and sleeves.

The Wearing

• The Chamois Dock Shirt can be tucked in; however, most will wear it un-tucked as an overshirt or shirt-jack, especially if deployed as workwear out on the water, in the boatyard or in the field.
• Works best as a secondary layer, worn over a short sleeve or long sleeve t-shirt, even over another button up shirt, like a flannel or a lightweight hoodie or ¼ zip.

Excerpt from our original 1995 catalog -

"Coming up with new ideas for our company is sometimes as easy as looking out our window at 89 Front Street. Right there below, on any given day, parade enough ideas to fill a dozen lifetimes at sea…we call ‘em the Boat Yard Boys. They're not the most gregarious bunch…to most, they wouldn’t say bull if they had a mouth full of it. But if you listen hard, sooner or later you learn something. And often, it’s the most obvious ideas that are the hardest pick up on, ideas that are valued because they work. Ideas from a lifetime at sea."

Hail to the BoatYard Boys, this is their idea. Nothing fancy…a functional, practical jacket they can work in is all they’re after. The Atlantic Rancher Boat Yard Jacket, 25th Anniversary Edition is made with our exclusive and proprietary 6 oz. DryHandle, 100% cotton, weatherproof fabric. Throughout, the cut is broad, especially in the shoulders and sleeves where freedom of movement is essential. Plain back with center seam…waist-length with adjustable VelcroÒ tabs at the hip. Plaid, 100% cotton shirting fabric lining over polyester insulation. Sleeves are also insulated and lined with nylon acetate. Roomy forearms with storm gussets and adjustable, button closure cuffs. All of the pockets are volume constructed and the two front pockets have side-entry hand-warmers behind. Full-length button-over storm flap. Broad, stand-up collar. Spot clean by hand using mild soap if necessary. However, DryHandle fabric is stubbornly stain-resistant, so a once-over with a damp sponge is usually all you'll need.
