Thank you. I will check it out. Living in Alaska Filson waxed canvas lasts about two years so looking for something that holds up better and looks good.I had one and really liked it (but I do also have a Carharrt that I really like). Ship John are saying they are ahead of their schedule and making moves to step up production and make ordering easier on the Wills jacket, so best bet is to stay on their mailing list and bide your time, I would think.
If you’ve not seen them before though check out Tin Duck‘s heavy waxed cotton jackets. Jason is a one man outfit but the garments look great and their reviews are excellent.
