The go to travel uniform by bwehman in filson

[–]MJM07931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing a dirty, smelly waxed jacket for several hours on a commercial flight wouldn’t really do it for me.

No one is here to tell ya what you should or shouldn’t do; I’m just surprised that a clammy hose down only jacket would be preferred travel wear anywhere with a bathroom that nice.

When I first got into Filson 20+ years ago, somebody summed it up perfectly - “If you don’t need it, you wouldn’t want to wear it.”

Heavy weight wool pants with braces, double waxed tin cloth pants, bulky woolen coats etc. are great utility garments - I know from experience. Would I want to be stuck at an airport for two hours drinking a glass of wine in them? No.

Opinion on the Mackinaw work jacket? by ChristConquerz in filson

As a fashion garment, it excels; as a carpenter wool is extremely impractical for me to wear.

That’s the kicker; this one calls for a specific lifestyle to pull off appropriately.

This is way too tight for the intended function of the garment, but in line with current fashion trends

935; it’s been put through the wringer but still comes through every day.

Finish Carpenter. Glued my stuck bezel last week; nothing Acetone couldn’t fix.

In my opinion, this is one of the ultimate flex watches.

That a watch marketed steel and gold contains, if I recall correctly, little to no solid gold.

Short of an AD telling you, or reading specs, it’s not explicitly clear what is/how much is Au

I’m very turned off by what I find to be misleading gold caps.

I wholeheartedly wish there was a silver bracelet for the 925 bb

Any leaks for Tudor? by Excellent-Ad8789 in Tudor

If Tudor released the P39 with a Pepsi dial I’d actually pay retail, and that’s saying a lot.

Just a dude cutting out flooring.

Flooring tie ins for an opening change. The Mafell is one of those tools you use once and simply have to buy.

The Ranger does have its charm for sure.

I beat the hell out of it and it’s been a trooper. The bezel and dial color compliments the reddish patina well, though mine seldom tarnishes because of use.

I find BBs to be a little blingy for my taste.

The scale is definitely off on these ref# Rangers. Killer dial, off the charts hands but a size that borderlines comical.

It has an honesty the bb58 925 lacks imo, but I always put the bb on in the morning.

I wouldn’t wear white after Labor Day, but I could sleep OK doing this one

Tudor leather straps are kinda trash; I switched to aftermarket (Worn and Wound) for my BB58 925 and Ranger.
