This is exactly what my tin cloth oiled jacket felt like, it felt gross and cold. I don't even know where it is, I haven't worn it in years.
It is kind of confusing right now--you can find Mac Cruisers brand new in number sizes, Seattle, Alaska, and the new sizing--will take a wile for the old stock to sell leaving just the new sizing. I'm about your size maybe a little bigger and just ordered a Mac Lined Work Jacket in a small--sure hope it fits!Heading back to the main HQ store tomorrow to exchange a few items tomorrow. Btw- when I took the Factory tour the tour person (who is also one of their marketing people) I asked why they did away with the Seattle fit....the answer was that they wanted to simplify things and instead of having both an Alaskan fit or Seattle fit , they would split the difference between the two: it's part of the reason why you see the Mackinaw and other items moving to letter sizing (S,M,L, XL) and you are staring to not see any references to Seattle/Alaska fit in their catalog. For new sizing reference (I measure a 39-40" chest) I fit an old style Mackinaw in size 38, but now fit a size S (which is slightly slimmer than my 38 but still fits well). The newer cuts overal are slightly slimmer overall compared to the old regular/Alaska fit but not super slim like the Seattle fit.
I finally ordered a Mack Cruiser in Seattle fit medium. I probably should've looked for a small, Filson sizes are huge, although I hoped the trimmer Seattle fit would be more true to size, we shall see.
Thanks for taking the time--very helpful!Yeah, sizing can be tough to judge especially while they are transistioning to the new letter sizes. I have quite a few Filson jackets (bought three during the holidays) so my experiences might help provide a reference for sizing. I've also tried almost every jacket on in the main Seattle store as well as some Seattle fit jackets that are discontinued and are on sale at their outlet in Burlington, WA so I'm pretty familiar with all their jackets now...at least those in my sizing.
For reference I'm 5-11, 175pds, chest is 39-40. Here is what I own and that fit me well.
I wear a size Small Mackinaw work jacket which fits well with some room- model 11010776
I wear a size Small insulated Journeyman which fits perfectly - model 11010653
I wear a size Medium Short lined cruiser which fits perfectly- model 11010762. The S was too small in the chest.
I wear a size Small Mackinaw vest - model 11010055
I wear a size Small Lined Cruiser vest - model 11010658
I wear a size 38 Mackinaw Cruiser (older model from a few years back). I've tried on a new model size Small and it's slight smaller than my 38 but fits well.
I also add that I have a pair of Mackinaw Field pants- model 11014010 in size 34 that are simply incredible. Sizing for these are true to waist size.
Hope this helps.
I bid on a 44 Mackinaw Cruiser , I'm a 44 , I hope if I get it , its not super huge . I couldn't read if it was Alaskan Fit or not , and it didn't say on the listing . We shall see .
^^^^The seller is going to send me a 38 Alaska fit, we shall see how it goes. I don't wear anything in a 38 so if this doesn't fit I give up.
I just bought a Filson Mackinaw Cruiser , size 44 R , I'm 5'8" 170-175 lb. and it fits Perfectly .
