Filson Mackinaw Cruiser

[abone]

I find that the sleeves on older thrifted jackets are short. However, all my grandfathers' sports jackets and Pendletons fit me well, but those were tailored, I believe. If you have the
cash, I would recommend it. The Iron Heart Cruiser, Iron Heart, always had longer sleeves than other brands. I got the Filson in hand before returning it. The Filson was not excellent quality wool, not bad, but also not better than something from L.L.Bean. I would get something used or go with Iron Heart. I went through a used jacket phase, and I have to say, I think I prefer buying a new one—you never know what interesting smells a used jacket will come with; it's the one thing you can’t see in an eBay picture.

What is the Iron Heart cruiser model? I tried searching and didn’t come up with anything that looked like a Mackinaw cruiser.

They refer to it as a hunting jacket. It's quite expensive for a wool jacket; however, if you’re planning to spend $500 on a Filson, you might as well invest in an Iron Heart instead—it will likely last longer. Of course, if you can find a used jacket that fits well and doesn’t have any odor, that would be the best option. One piece of advice: avoid buying a used jacket from sellers who don’t accept returns.
