Interested to see the replies to this. I have some if the SafeT back clothing that is 25 or so yrs old and still in decent shape. I think that might've been part of the reason they went out of business, it didn't wear out fast enough!  |

Thanks Timberdoodle & Mutt!!
That Kevin's High Terrain Upland coat looks somewhat like the ole Saf-T-Bak. Looks very functional per pic. I like the Gamehide but was looking for a full coat.
I have my dad's ole Saf-T-Bak but its in camo and is worn purdy thin...by Dad not me!  Man he wore that Altoona creation just for about all his hunting in days past. |

you're welcome sir... I figured the Kevins would come closest to saf t bak in looks anyways. I used to get Kevins & Dunns catalogs but haven't needed anything from those outfits in a while. FWIW I have ordered from Dunns but never Kevins.

TD...heard of Dunns but never Kevins. Went to Kevin's web site and looks like a family operation in FL. Think I may givem a try.

I'm soon in need of another duck canvas upland coat myself and I'm befuddled too. I don't want any blaze orange on mine and would like a back cargo/game pocket integral with the coat and slit and square pockets in the front with breast pockets. Seems there's nothing like that out there anymore. Another couple of years and my Woolrich canvas coat will be gone... cry

Well...guess I shouda took inventory as I just found in an attic closet that I haven't frequented for years a NEW Saf-T-Bak coat(below)!! If my CRS Memory serves me I bought this about 15 years ago or so. It ain't made in Altoona tho...Mexico but seems of decent quality. Plus...I tried it on & the darn thing musta shrank over the past 15 years hanging in my closet!! Mebbie the heat caused it or sumpin!!  Anyways...I have an appropriately sized Kevin's High Terrain Upland coat also on it's way!!  |

I have a Gamehide, and the thing has so many pockets/pouches in it, I forgot about a chuker in the one pocket. Hung it in the closet, never smelled a thing, next time I used the vest, I had a dehydrated bird in the pocket. rofl Very nice vest by the way.  |

Nice Dutch! I could find the Gamehide in a vest but not a coat.
Looks almost identical to the Kevin's coat...possibly GH makes them for Kevins.

You know Loggy, with just a bit of self-control, that new one you found in your closet can become "appropriately sized" too ? *thumbsup*

As previously posted the Kevin's upland Hunting Coat is comparable to the ole Safe-T-Bak coat!!
The 2 frt zippered pockets are quite spacious/deep supplementing the 2 frt flap pockets which have 6 shotshell holders in each. There is also access to game pouch from the 2 front slit openings which is nice!
