I have the Filson Tin cloth Field Jacket with the mackinaw liner. One thing I'll mention: it's the heaviest coat I own.

[@wildforwool3821]

Definitely has some weight to it

[@andyeighttre]

Keep in mind that the wax will make the coat colder in very cold weather than an unwaxed coat. I learned this by putting 8 zillion heavy coats of Obenaufs on my Kinco heavy ski gloves.

[@gladebreeze252]

I add wax on my brass zippers to make them smooth as well that looks warm plus the water and mud resistance but I question the waxing how long each waxing will last

[@kinslowrainer3982]

Hi! Nice video. I'm curious about getting a wool jacket liner. Do you know of any other companies making similar, thick wool jacket liners? Thanks!

[@katman11]

150-160 lbs...you should gat the medium. Looks like you're swimming in that jacket to me

[@samadams9557]

I’d asked on another video, but if you were headed out into the bush during winter, not sure what weather you’d face, and staying for weeks, but you’ll be moving around and not able to bring more than you’d carry; what would you choose to wear?

[@hampersona]

Thanks for the review! I have the Packer Coat and although I love the quality itself I'm pretty disappointed with how the cape bunches in the back. You can see what I mean by going to 5:09 in the video. Does this eventually "settle" or fall flat once you finally break the coat in? It's such a great coat other than this small detail but I'm tired of looking like I'm hiding wings whenever I wear this.

[@wildforwool3821]

I’m not to sure I haven’t broke mine in yet, sorry

[@jjc7350]

I added a stitch to the bottom middle of the "cape" on the back, and a stitch on each side of the flap at the bottom. Looks much better now. I just used a needle and thread.

[@kingzhibrhanfabrizio1759]

Mine is pretty relaxed only because I wore a back pack for a while as I wore the jacket.

[@MNAZ12]

A large means nothing unless we know how tall and how much you weigh. Thanks!

[@wildforwool3821]

I always post my measurements in the description box. Thanks

[@wildforwool3821]

I also stated my weight at the end of the video. Didn’t watch till the end I take it?

[@tc-nv8ig]

@@wildforwool3821 ive ordered jackets on line , then they are to big or what have you , tryin to figure size on the tin coat, is yours to big could you have been better with a long medium, and could they b tailored ? Anyway never been a fashion or clothes guy, but have frozen in ontario hunting, scared game on bow season with synthetic clothes making noise, now view clothes like this like tools, thanks for the vid , just subscibed

[@jeremyfortune7274]

Is the wool liner or their pirmaloft jacket liner warmer?

[@theunityofknowledge2887]

These clothes are too expensive for this channel to be sustainable. XD

[@RB-xv4si]

I got that coat in a size small and was really disappointed with how short the sleeves were. About a full 2” shorter than they should be, while the body of the coat was absolutely huge. Are they making these for hobbits or what?

[@jjc7350]

the material can stretch. I have mine clamped to my workbench stretching out right now. I have really long arms, and would have bought a tall size, but the coat was given to me. I was able to get a few inches of stretch out of the sleeves when I clamped one sleeve and pulled hard on the other for a while. Might be worth a try.

[@RB-xv4si]

@@jjc7350 cotton canvas has a very negligible amount of stretch.

[@jjc7350]

I have gotten some stretch out of it for sure. I will be leaving it stretched for a few days, and then see how much of it lasts. Even if I have to do it every once in a while, it will be better than it was.

[@jjc7350]

I was able to get each sleeve 1 3/4” longer. It appears that cotton can be stretched. Was certainly worth doing.

Great stuff have you tried a Bemidji woolen mills mackinaw jacket?

[@claudetaillefer1332]

What wax would you recommand?

[@Wolf-mx7xx]

So I'm really considering getting Filson's Single Mackinaw Cruiser. I've come across several comments recently saying in short that: 1) Filson recently got bought out and their quality has since gone downhill while their prices have climbed; 2) that the Mackinaw jacket in particular is not as thick and thus as warm as the same jackets of the past. Any thoughts or personal experience about these 2 comments from anyone? Thanks in advance. And I appreciate your wool clothing reviews!

[@wildforwool3821]

Personally I have no older mackinaw cruisers to compare my newer ones to at this point but I can tell you the newer ones I do have are very warm and quality made but yes with a high price tag. This would be a good question to post to the ‘filson owners club’ group on Facebook, there are some very knowledgeable people in that group who collect vintage pieces and would be able to answer that for you. Hope this helps!

[@Wolf-mx7xx]

@@wildforwool3821 Thanks for sharing your experience; I will check out that FB group! Best to you.

[@rustyshackleford17]

I have two of the newer ones, I couldn't find any faults on mine. However, the plaid is slightly softer and denser (listed as 26oz wool). My solid color is a bit fluffier and scratchier (listed 24oz wool)

[@EddietheApe]

Hope all is well. Can’t wait for new vids. Be blessed.

[@yankeesfanforlife506]

Good video .. The liner is nice but the coat is so stiff , looks like you’re wearing a card board box . I guess it will loosen up and break in after a season of wear

[@rogerblakemore6501]

You think it’s possible to put a larger liner in a medium jacket

[@wildforwool3821]

I believe you can. The zippers won’t have the same amount of teeth as one another though

[@kingzhibrhanfabrizio1759]

Awesome jacket I have the same one, only I don't have the wool liner, jacket looks great during cloudy days and for light rain on cool days, I have seepage when it pours though. You could get pretty sweaty wearing this if the day is warmer and humid though.

Perfect! How do you feel about Pendleton button down shirts?

[@wildforwool3821]

I haven’t tried one yet. I’ve been wanting to get one for a while tho. I’ll order one soon and test it out

[@Mikedenton541]

@@wildforwool3821 awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@Heywoodthepeckerwood]

I own about a dozen, they’re great. Perfect shirt where I live in the Central Oregon mountains. Very warm but breathes well if it’s too hot out.

[@rustyshackleford17]

I've been using them for years. They do supply Filson with their wool, most of the Mackinaw Wool colorways (there is a mill in Canadia that supplies it also). They're good quality. 10oz I believe. Wool is borderline on the scratchy side but still very comfortable. They discontinue most of the colorways every year and introduce new ones every year. Unfortunately, your options are rather limited for wool shirts. But I'd say get one of two.

[@bocrawford857]

Love your videos!

Hello mister ! like you own tin cloth garment i have one question about it, is tin cloth material ensure to be dry skin in despite of heavy rain or not ? thanks in advance

[@wildforwool3821]

If you oil it regularly than yes it should keep you dry in heavy rain.
