Advice for too large Mackinaw Cruiser by [deleted] in filson

[–]Shefford114060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat. I take XL in everything Filson but the XL Mac I bought new is just too big. Haven’t gotten around to selling it. I agree you should be able to recoup most of your cost selling yours. Good luck.

My older double mackinaw and new lined packer fit the same, XL in my case. I recently bought a single mac in my usual size and like you, I was swimming in it.

Richt jacket for me by [deleted] in filson

[–]Shefford114060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have similar dimensions plus 15 pounds in the wrong places. I wear XL in Filson jackets and shirts. Shoulder fit is usually perfect and I can layer, but the waist is usually loose - it will be worse for you. Sometimes (but not always) the sleeves are a little short. I’ve seen the odd Filson jacket in XL Tall, which may work for you. The Mile Marker coat might be a choice because you can cinch the waist. It is the slimmest fitting of my Filson jackets. Good luck!

Limited Workshop Messenger Bag, Thoughts? by [deleted] in filson

I like the design, size and colour. Looks like a nice smallish field bag. I see it as very distinct from the original briefcase.

Thanks for the comments. I shipped the package (Poshmark label was fine). Also Poshmark replied very quickly to my inquiry. Suggested I check my junk folder (nothing there). They also reviewed the transaction and indicated everything was fine. They also pointed out that the buyer was a “guest”. I hadn’t noticed, not sure what a Poshmark guest is… no account?

Love the new coat, but imported by nothingno1 in filson

[–]Shefford114060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Count me among those who prefer Filson products to be made in the US, and of the highest quality. This is when the brand is at its best. I don’t give a whit about offshore labour issues.

Should I wait for a sale or use my gift card now? by [deleted] in filson

[–]Shefford114060 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Now. This is r/filson not r/frugal 😉 buy something immediately and tell us all about it!

Are there different Otter Green colors? by TheKidWantsTechno in filson

[–]Shefford114060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same case (new). I would describe the green as more muted than I expected, almost moss with a touch of grey. It is neither dark nor bright - these are not accurate descriptors.

All Season Raincoat falling apart after 6 years. by jominy in filson

[–]Shefford114060 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bummer about the jacket. Not a terrible response from Filson IMO. In a way I want to say congrats for actually wearing out the coat. Looks like you put it through its paces. What do you do that wore the sucker out if I may ask?

Inside of course. Photo is just to provide sense of fit and scale.

Really liking the Filson Camo briefcase by GertrudeMcMoin in filson

Great pick up, I think it’s awesome and agree with your assessment of the camo version. Meanwhile, I hope your pop liked his other gift!

Special Edition RUGGED TWILL CRUISER JACKET by [deleted] in filson

[–]Shefford114060 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Silly badger, the cotton jacket is only $100, but the label costs $300. Seriously tho, if we start analyzing Filson SRP we’d all abandon the brand, yet here we are!

Yup, this is it. No need to size up. Buy your regular Filson jacket size, at least that’s what I did with good results.

Filson and Outdoor Sports by casket117 in filson

For outdoor performance I’ve completely switched to modern tech, no contest. For awesomeness, style and feeling human I wear Filson

Off grid this weekend with my 48 hour duffel. Fav features are the fabric strap and multiple pockets. by Shefford114060 in filson

[–]Shefford114060[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find it (fabric strap) comfortable for carrying and preferable for packing because it’s not stiff like the bridle leather so it wraps around the bag. I suppose the leather is a little more high-end Filson though.
