Went to my wood lot to spend the weekend. It's Winter here. Caught a weekend that wasn't raining. Was mid 30's at night and mid 40's daytime. 2nd picture show what I have to go through, about 1/3 mile to get to river/other side of property.
I like to walk property line yearly.
The underbrush...
Poor picture quality showing my 10 year old Westlake shelter cloth jacket. Showing lots of patina from daily wear 6 months out of year for several years. Made in USA. Picture shows lining, for a better finished product. Nine pockets.
Went to the 75% off sale. Got there hour after opening and waited about hour. Gave me something to do on a Satuday morning.
Saw lots of fine hats, lots of folks coming out with five hats, buy 4 get the fifth free.
I've lived in and around Seattle all my life. How did I not know of this Golden era hat shop?
Been wearing hats more often since going bald.
I'll have to stop by the sale.
Heading out on Friday night to the Pub with the wifey. Langlitz Timberline pullover in goat. I need to wear this everyday for a year to get some creasing.
Filson has for the most part 3 levels of oil cloth, cover cloth being lightweight, shelter cloth a medium weight and tin cloth the heaviest. They also had soy wax, which was always only in lightweight clothes.
I've seen many times on 2ndary listings the term tin cloth misapplied.
I think the Filson Mac is worthy of its own patent. With 24oz. Wool that is double thick on the back for 48oz. In the front with pockets from top to bottom making it double thick 48oz. It wears light in weight, warm and breathable. Comfortable in temperatures from 30's to 50's. The Double Mac...
I found the tin cruiser works best for heavy brush i.e. Timber cruiser work.
Most clothing will shred to pieces when off the trail in my area of Washington state. With double tin, I can walk straight through the brush and nothing sticks, stabs or snags.
I wouldn't consider tin cloth as good...
