Filson rarely goes on sale, no matter the holiday. If you find something on sale brand new, you may be a lucky person.as to dealers, there really arent that many, to my knowledge, that sell Filson any cheaper than retail.
Well, I got my Barbour Prestbury yesterday, and must say I love it! I have not actually used it yet, as the weather took a 'bad' turn and is now about 80 degrees F in Northern/Central OH. I have tried it on, and I must say it fits pretty well. The arms are actually kind of long, until I reach...
Thanks for the information! I ended up deciding on a Barbour Prestbury waxed jacket. I have yet to see it in person as i ordered it on sierratradingpost.com but from what it looked like and the reviews, it should stand well to my purposes. As to the smell, I don't think it would really bother...
Thanks for the suggestion! Does someone in this thread have any info as to the quality of protection the Redwood Anorak by Filson provides? Also, what cloth it is cut from? Thanks!
I stopped by The Backpackers store in Sheffield Village today and tried on some Filson coats...
I liked them all...
I am aware there is a smell on some waxed/oiled Filson apparel, but that has never made me shy away from the qaulity of acquiring such an item...although I have het to do so.
Edit: Does anyone have helpful information concerning Filson Mackinaw Cruiser in medium/heavy rain? Medium/long walks?
@AeroFan_07 and Fanch: Thanks for the welcome! Can either of you inform me as to the reliability of the wool cruisers in a short - medium length walk through a downpour? I was thinking of getting a tin or shelter cloth shell-type jacket, and a vest/full length liner.
Again, thank you!
Hey,
I read this whole thread, and am fascinated by all the information everyone has thrown out here! I do not/have never owned a Filson item, but am looking for a jacket/coat on eBay as I have always wanted a Filson since my older brother got the Double Tin Logger and the Tin Cloth Wildfowl Hat...
