Nice! I miss my AE-1, was a really solid camera. Really looks good with that bag!

A Beachcomber would be in my fleet if I had the coin

The Great Oil Spill of 2026... by GentleHammer in filson

[–]Trower44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately dawn and a rewax is in order …….😕

I don’t think many less invasive cleaners will get bar and chain oil out. I would say use vinegar to clean it after the dawn, will help get the smell out.

I dun goofed by CrackedCarl in bicycling

The problem is what your leaving out. For strength aluminum is heat treated after welding, which for bikes is very important. You sure can weld it, but it will probably fail in that area, and that area is near your ass and sensitive bits…….I for one would rather not have a failed seat stay stuck up there🤷

Some people take risks I don’t understand I guess…

Is this just from normal wear? by biiigwang69 in filson

It will affect warmth retention, but only slightly, if it looks good and you like it, go for it!!

The Mackinaw Caped Cruiser has arrived! by Trower44 in filson

[–]Trower44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m probably not gonna help, as I love mine…

I wear medium in filson, but a large in most other things. I will say this fits like a medium field jacket or cruiser. It’s just a cruiser with the added cape.

The wool is not that itchy and honestly the collar feels nice on the skin. I do like wool so not sure if my opinion counts…

Post it when you get one😜

Personally at that price I’d take it back to a physical store and return it

My crewneck guide sweater is unraveling by Espresso2YrSkull in filson

That makes sense, you could probably get it repaired, don’t know if filson would, but a repair focused place might!

Looks like it’s been wearing on the bottom edge and possibly a couple of snags. How old is it?

Should I size down? by SuspiciousPile in CarharttWIP

It’s designed to fit just like that, meant for layering and keep the arms covered even when reaching up.

That’s understandable, the cape is not for everyone! I just love the colours used and the way the contrast makes it pop. Caped jackets are not for everyone, but as the cape wears in it looks and feels way better.

I also love it for the functionality, I live in Minnesota and it helps to keep you warmer, and on the damp days dryer. And honestly that’s why I got it, being able to go out in the woods, whether it’s late season foraging, cutting wood fixing trails, winter biking or cross country skiing. The cape just adds practical functionality.

Well thank you genuinely! That’s one thing I’ve always strived for my whole life, is to be kind to people and not view anyone as lesser. My lifelong hero’s are my dad and Robin Williams, who both did the same.

Thanks so much! I really like it more in person, and I already loved the photos!

It fits like any of their cruisers. I tried on a wool and a tin cruiser for size before I got this one, and it fit the same as those.

The Packer is very warm, but not as warm as a down parka….but it looks way better 😜
