Wicks ceased production over a year ago. They sold their material and patterns for their brush coat and chaps to http://www.stonecreekhounds.com/wear.htm and helped them get set up to make the coat and chaps. I liked my Wick bibs and chaps so I gave the Stone Creek brush jacket a try. It's great. Tough as gar hide and seems to be of the same material and workmanship of the stuff from the Wick shop. Too bad the Wick bibs are history. If you ever buy a pair of Filson chaps, don't get the model with no side zippers. You'll be left standing by the truck with your foot stuck halfway in one of the chap legs while your buddies and dogs are long gone running rabbits.
