Johnson Woolen Mills

Curtis Harvie

A friend challenged me to write an honest review of Johnson Woolen Mills. This is about the product, not the store or the customer service. Frankly customer service isn’t needed, the product speaks for itself. I was born and raised in Vermont. I have worn my step father’s Johnson Woolen Mills green wool pants and green plaid jacket since 2012. He bought both when he returned from Vietnam in 1972. I currently live in Alaska. I now own several other Johnson Woolen Mills products, vintage and new. At -40F I am warm in the overalls over hunting pants and Mackinaw with a shirt. Sitting on a rain swept Alaskan mountain top waiting for caribou I am warm in just the hunting pants and jack shirt. Hunting whitetail from an tree stand fending off ticks in November, wool pants and a flannel. Occasionally a rubber fishing suit over it all if temps dip below freezing. My mother had to felt a hole in my new pants that was from catching a metal corner on a truck hitch and the 1970’s era jacket elbow from a motorcycle accident. Those are the only repairs ever needed. This is an honest review from someone who has lived in these products for several hunting seasons. They are worth every penny and more. If you want a soft, supple, flammable, unreliable synthetic and a trendy hat to match your manicured beard then shop elsewhere. This is wool, it feels like wool, it wears like wool, it looks like wool, and it is as dependable as wool.

Just buy their products and ignore the bogus negative reviews. JWM is an iconic New England small business making very high quality products using quality materials and employing normal Americans. The people writing these bogus bad reviews are liberal bedwetters with an axe to grind, whose mommies and daddies didn't give them enough attention when they were children.

I work at a large sugarbush a couple miles from Johnson woolen mills. Their gear is top notch. The gear is a lifesaver at my job. The wool bibs and shirt jacket are not only warm and extremely water resistant, but are damn tough. I highly recommend.

Don’t buy anything from this company I ordered Benoit jacket and wool hunting pants both never came I called over the phone and they charged my card $591 I’ve been fighting for over a month to get my money back they won’t refund it because they have no receipt on their end no proof whatsoever that they charged my card terrible service on the phone they constantly put down their own employees in the shop. Many excuses even from the owner who said to file a claim with united Postal Service that would be great if they actually had a tracking number. Long story short I had to go to my bank today in file a claim. Worst service ever don’t buy any wool hunting apparel from this place check out the reviews on Google I’m not the only one. So much for trying to keep it made in the USA
