Been waiting for a while. You're the only one who does worthwhile Filson reviews. Everyone else is a new york hipster. No hate, it's a great coat, but their reviews are less than worthless.
So I’m not claiming to do worthwhile Filson reviews, but I AM NOT a New York hipster!
hahahah I hear ya!
Quite simply one of the finest outdoor jackets you could own.
Had to send my Filson Cruiser coat back for a snap repair I just noticed was missing. I've had it about 40 years. I can tell you from experience that wool shrinks with age. I put on my wool work pants over my wool long underwear and the damned top button on the waist wouldn't reach anymore. Damnedable wool!!
Or our bodies grow horizontally with age 😁
hahahah good stuff.... especially the part regarding filson repairing a 40 year old product!
That coat looks very good on you, I like it better than the one you had last year.
This coat was made for you, man. Looks amazing on you.
I got this too after I saw the color and it's absolutely fantastic. I have 3 Canada Goose, 1 Moose Knuckle, a Khul parka etc... And this gets compliments the most. A waitress even tried it on the other day. Lol
I got the same one and the hat to match! Super excited to see it showcased on your channel.
Hello from France, great great review, Really complete, looks very good on you, I prefer the previous version plaid that you had, for me it represents more the spirit "wild American"... 😉This one is more versatile by its color, can be worn in the countryside and in the city. Kind regards
Wow, that's a hell of a coat. I got the plain double mac - just couldn't see myself rocking the shearling collar. It's as warm as I'll probably ever need.
Can I make a suggestion? In photography, it's best to use a neutral colored background such as Grey, tan etc. Also, the camera's sensor is trying to compensate for the bright white background. So whatever is in the foreground will be darkened. It's similar to the human eye. Our irises close when it's bright out. So it's best to film without the bright snow. If you want to, then you need a stronger light in front of you. But sunlight will create shadows. An overcast day is best.
I recommend a background like a cabin wall. Take care.
I just bought one it’s in the mail. I bought the 2xL , I’m 6’3” 265lbs so it should fit if there measurements on the website are correct 👍
Can you post like full video of some outdoor stuff like cutting down tree and fireplace and stuff
Thanks for the info. You never really said how warm it is. I’ve wanted one of these for years. Is it worth the price?
Are you wearing the Johnson wool pants? Are you wearing a baselayer under them? I’m curious how warm wool pants alone are. I just bought a few items of Johnson woolen mills because of your channel. Thanks!
I’m wearing the big bill wool work pants In This video and yes I usually always wear a wool base layer underneath but it’s not always needed. And that’s awesome I think you’ll really like them!
You can just return the medium unless you prefer to sell it. My dad and I often buy two of the same thing from Filson but in different sizes. Then pick the one you want and return the other.
Unfortunately I’m passed the return limit, also I have to pay the shipping to send it back to the states, Filson doesn’t offer free returns from Canada. I’d love to buy 2 different sizes when I make an order but because of the customs charges, shipping cost to Canada which is about 50$ and than having to pay the return shipping, I would be wasting a lot on money. With the prices of their products they should at least offer free shipping and returns in my opinion.
@@wildforwool3821 Being from Canada I fully understand this lol
@@wildforwool3821 Even though I"m in the States, I totally agree with you. ESPECIALLY since they've increased their prices across the brand (duffle bags in M are now $525?! Considering they used one of your videos for one of their reviews/descriptions on their own website, you're practically a brand ambassador. They should certainly accommodate you.
Just one note. Great video but you should film with the sun in your back. Not infront, cant really see any details
If this helps anyone I'm 6'4" 190 lbs and the medium packer fits flawlessly imo but granted where I live I dont need to layer much under it to stay completely warm.
Can you half fold the collar?
Would be nice if they had a button on double mackinaw wool hood with shearling wool ruff. I have been thinking about one of these for aroud 5 yrs.
Not sure if you're aware that many other cultures intentionally make their winter coats long in the sleeves so it covers almost their entire hand because of the way it retains warmth . For those who stay outside for longer periods of time, they would greatly benefit from that Xtra length.
I have a size lg double mack charcoal jacket and would like to exchange it for a SIZE LARGE LONG in the charcoal or green colors. Please advise me if you know of anyone who might like to assist me with that exchange.
Thanks for making this fucking video!
Great review. I wonder about the practical effectiveness of the cotton lining. If you're doing strenuous ranch work outdoors in bitter cold, sweating is inevitable. I've heard the benefit of the unlined mackinaws is the pure wool is better at regulating body temp, whereas the cotton lining in the packer can still hold moisture and chill you down. What are your thoughts? Im on the fence with this coat.
Hey, I have a cotton lined mackinaw jac-shirt and even when snow shoveling and hiking, I don't get cold.. maybe after a full day it might but after 2 canadian winters it has not been an issue
@@eknox4748thanks for the info
awesome Packer !!!!!! I need one
Man, i would have really wanted that Packer from last year [the plaid] - if only i knew you were selling it...Such a pity, that one's nigh-on impossible to find in size L.
How come it's not listed in the Filson website. They only have a checkered loden that is a louder pattern than the one you're wearing.
Love this bought it as well
I bought one, very nice
I think the Medium looks better on. The wool, eventhough it is thick should conform to your body and loose up over time. But either way congrats
Video made me curious so I went in to try one on. Loved this color and added to my closet 👍. The shearling is the darkest I have seen in a packer coat. The charcoal is almost black with chalk pin stripes. It is a must buy
how tall are you? what is your chest size?
When do the new ones come out? I can't find these on their website.
They are sold out of them right now. They usually come out with new colours before the winter season
Best I can do is $50 for the medium.
50 CAD or 50 USD?
@@pelv3027 yes
😂😂😂
It's a sexy coat anyways 😆 🤣
Medium looks better Bro
Hey Eric, thanks for the vid. I'm 5'10" and about 175 of lean muscle. I felt the same way about the medium fit. I think deciding on the fit depends on which you'd be using it for. I'm in Fargo, ND for a few months and it has come in handy when our temps dip into -10 F or even 0F. For me the large would be just too big....since I don't live this far north permanently. For the cuff buttons.....do you just get random buttons, or does Filson offer them to you?
It's a lifetime coat. People don't shrink as they age (except Brandon). It's not a fashion item. Good call going for the large.
