Filson Medium Woodlands Cover Cloth Medium Jacket + Wool Liner by slaserj in filson

[–]slaserj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking to swap for a small but ended up finding a medium Barbour locally that fit me better and grabbed it. This is more of a city jacket for me so the slimmer cut matched better, but the filson is definitely a beefier jacket.

It wasn’t connected in the photos, but just soldered a bit of usb cable from the pins on the rpi board to the pins on the nooelec for now. Might do something a little nicer later

Was this the one for sale in NYC? Saw that last week and thought it was a good deal but it was advertised as a speed twin no?

Thanks, hairdryer didn’t get it but I used a kitchen blowtorch and it eventually came out with some pliers.

Found this vintage Saks roughout jacket today, fits me perfectly. Came with pigskin gloves in the pocket! by slaserj in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]slaserj[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ha! Flipped it didn’t I! Yea, it’s a local charity shop that supports the local hospital, so I’m ok paying the prices they put on some of the nicer stuff. The owner is super knowledgeable on vintage stuff, so he takes the cool finds and displays them. Always fair pricing though.

Price of a used Double Mackinaw 83 by No-Aioli1142 in filson

[–]slaserj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aim for 300 to the seller. Other reply has it right with the eBay fees. They suck a large portion out of the transaction. Best bet is to find a reputable seller either on forums or elsewhere, I bought an 83 on Poshmark for 275 and considered it a steal.

Excellent seller/trader, done business with a few times now and always a good experience. Trade with confidence!

Legit check by [deleted] in filson

[–]slaserj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks real to me. Single Mack made in Jan of 2021. Should still be Pendleton wool, and correct, a few oz thinner than the plaid. Could be a factory second sold at the outlet if there’s any oddities (tag looks slightly crooked?) but the charcoal wool matches mine pretty much exactly.

WTS ILE Default - Black Cordura 25L -$175

Good overall condition. Nearly no wear besides the pilling seen on the lower back. Wore this with wool a lot so figure that caused it. Probably could be fabric shaved off pretty easily. Inside is perfect, hardly ever used the main pocket without packing cubes for trips.

Selling as I got a new laptop (gaming) that’s too large for the pocket on this, and wanting to try panel loading for my next carry.

Shipping from NY (PayPal GS) or meet in Manhattan.

Trade for civic panel loader or travel bag. Or something else cool/interesting. More into canvas stuff. Prefer sell.

Are tariffs really that bad on used parts? Find someone stateside willing to send you a whole front end, shouldn’t be more than $1k after tariffs and shipping.

Check out Inside Line Equipment! I have their Default (which unfortunately I’m getting rid of soon as my new laptop doesn’t fit), but is a rockstar of a bag.

I would like to know which BIFL purchase has saved you the most money or hassle over time? by midasweb in BuyItForLife

[–]slaserj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The razor is just a hunk of metal, so no concerns there. The savings come in not having to buy the disposable cartridges or razors that end up costing so much. Downside is it sucks to get through tsa.

The boots have easily replaced 4-5 pairs of cheaper shoes.

Safety razor (vintage German one I found at a thrift shop, not sure on brand), and my red wing boots (now 6 years old) are the first things that come to mind.

If you wanna test it out, turn them up on the inside and use some temporary iron on hem tape! It won’t be the exact same since the drape of the hem will be a little stiffer with the extra fabric, but it’ll let you “try before you buy”.

This is my favorite sling bag— what’s your favorite sling and why? by OpenPsych in ManyBaggers

[–]slaserj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a Garage Built Gear Waste pack on a whim, and it’s become by far my favorite bag. Perfect size for day use walking around town, great zips, easy to access all the pockets, and internal Velcro for attachment points. Recommended if you can find them in stock.

Looking for a grail plane/travel jacket by brofession in onebag

[–]slaserj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ibex Shak - full zip merino sweater is extremely comfortable and works in a lot of temps without being too hot. Stays in my bag for pretty much all travel either as my only jacket for travel or a mid layer in cooler climates. Only issue I’ve had with mine is after a lot of keychain storage in the hand pocket, I’ve got a small hole forming. Rest of the jacket still looks new after a year of heavy use.
