Filson Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser Jacket Review

[@Sozialkompetenz]

One of the best reviews on Filson. I love how your review is built. You put a lot of work in it. I'm from Germany and have bought this jacket pretty much without knowing what I bought. Your review helped me understand the history and the value of this unique jacket. Fantastic job.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Hi!! Thank you this means a lot to me !!

[@bengworldwideadventures]

Falls du aus der Nähe kommst, es gibt in Hamburg einen Laden, der einige Filson Jaken und Hemden auf Lager hat …. Zum anprobieren etc

[@Sozialkompetenz]

@@bengworldwideadventures wenn ich in HH bin denke ich dran 👍 danke 🙏

[@bengworldwideadventures]

@ der Laden heißt Riders Room und ist in Altona….. haben auch Red Wing etc. wirklich cooler Laden.

[@Sozialkompetenz]

@@bengworldwideadventures Klasse, vielen Dank. Ich hatte im Frühjahr auch eine schwarze Jacke bestellt, die war aber völlig unbrauchbar, weil die so stark getränkt war, daß ich sie unmöglich tragen konnte. Da freue ich mich auf den nächsten HH Besuch 👍

[@derrickkincaid]

Great discussion points on this video brother. Definitely enjoy the color and cut of this jacket. I have had the F&T hanging in the closet for years and I never wear it. I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to the channel. Glad to have a place to go that answers the questions in the back of our minds who enjoy these brands!

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! I really like to dig deep into these iconic garments!! I always say there is no such thing as the right choice; there is what you like, and you can afford

Great Review . Got mine yesterday and it is perfekt. Your words about sizing helped a lot. Thanks for that.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you for watching!! I'm glad that this review helps you!!

[@michaelshearer3559]

I really do love my Filson tin cloth cruiser jackets. I have this tan and also black, and they are really good for hard use, and in my opinion gets much better with wear and patina. The color darkens and I really like the feel when it gets worn in. Large looks great on you. I have XL and if I ever get another it will be Large, but I like it for colder weather with a thicker liner type under. You really got lots of waxed jacket content now. lol.

[@UrbanLadUK]

This jacket got me when I had it in my hands, my friend's jacket. It's really nice when showing the results after wearing it!!. Yeah I build a collection 😉

[@mikewolf5771]

Which colour do you prefer, black or dark tan?

[@UrbanLadUK]

@@mikewolf5771 to me dark tan is a winner

[@RSN1748]

Looks good on u sir. I picked up a Mackinaw cruiser recently from filson and it's been great.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! That jacket is on my list!!!!

[@michaellumpkinss7368]

I’d say out of the brands u mentioned. 1. Freenote cloth 2. Filson 3. Rogue territory 4. Flint and tinder The king of all waxed jacket will always be the Ship John Wills tho !! Iron and resin are very nice also ! And so is Tin Duck !

[@michaelshearer3559]

Yes, Ship John is top notch. I just don't like extremely long waits. I also got a nice Bridger jacket from Pack Animal and must say it has a great cut, style, and nice liner. Really has been my go to for daily wear in winter and motorcycle riding. Lot of bang for your buck

[@RSN1748]

ship john looks like a killer jacket but the price and wait time is insane.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Interesting!!! Ship John Willis 👍👍

[@1984mrdale]

I just checked Ship John on your recommendation and they have almost no items in stock. Seems like a poor business model. I won’t be buying from them because there is nothing to buy. 😂

[@cboria148]

Should I get this or the freenote cloth? I care most about aesthetics personally. I don't need most durability.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Hi! It is a very personal decision, but from my point of view, I think the Filson is the perfect balance between how it looks and its functionality; the Filson is aesthetically pleasing, and you are going to have a lot of compliments.

[@cboria148]

@@UrbanLadUK but it seems like you lean more towards the Freenote. For me I actually would like a chocolate color of these garments, since I think the filson color and most of the freenote are too yellow/beige, which I think is a boring color. I am surprised brands haven't done a rich chocolate color. Interestingly, but probably of much lower quality, Thursday Boot Co does a waxed chocolate jacket. Check it out and let me know what you think.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Well, both are good looking and both are part of my collection. Check Flint and Tinder waxed jacket, I think it is better and still affordable

[@cboria148]

@@UrbanLadUK I bought the Filson from the store yesterday and wore it all day and night. I love it. Got it in Dark Brown which goes well with shoes and boots!

Sorry, I don't have the I&R jacket but add to my list!!

Can you button up the jacket?

[@UrbanLadUK]

Yes!!!

[@barrymurphy1337]

Great video Diego, I just discovered your channel over this weekend. I have a Rogue Territory Ridgeline on order, but I do like the look of the Filson. Look forward to more of your content - you're my chest size too, which helps!

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! RgT is an excellent choice!!

[@Remedy1024]

My favorite waxed jacket at the moment, great fit and perfect for layering. Because of the working conditions, I would prefer made in the USA. But it makes no difference from the quality. 👍👍👍 Ps: great review

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! I'm very interested in knowing what the people think about Made in USA vs Made in ...

@@UrbanLadUK As far as I know the Short lined cruiser is manufactured in Bangladesh. I was going to pick one up until I discovered this. It’s a shame as the jacket looks great.

Heard that the Filson jacket is too oily and makes the car seat dirty?

[@UrbanLadUK]

Yes, in the beginning, I did not have that problem. Both times, they came fresh from the factory in a plastic bag and wore it straightforward

[@Alex-mw9un]

Great video! I am trying to figure out if L or XL is for me. I am 6'3 (feet/inches) and 225 lbs. Broad shoulders / chest and wide back.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! You are in between sizes, depending on whether you think about layers. If you are going to wear a thick jumper or heavy flannel, XL is the way.

[@vhockada]

I would go XL for you

[@Alex-mw9un]

@@vhockada thank you!

[@Tahusaco]

Great channel and very nice reviews. I love how you shared every details in your videos. I am considering this Filson tin cloth jacket or Flint and tinder, which one do you recommend?

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!!! Well, it depends on what you are looking for; if you aim for a lightweight jacket, go for Flint and Tinder. The Flint and Tinder it is cheaper too, but if you look for a heavy and better quality Filson

[@ScimmiaMalvagia]

Great review, the jacket seems to be of excellent quality and very durable. Can I also ask you informations about the vest you are wearing?

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! The vest is from Borrows & Hare 👍👍

[@stephenhornback9051]

I really don't know what size to get I've got really broad shoulders I'm 511 198 athletic build I usually wear an extra large t-shirt or long sleeve shirt and have just a little room to be comfortable I read somewhere that these jackets run small and that I should get a extra large and some say large so I really don't know I want to have just a little room I don't plan on making many layers of clothing probably a T-shirt and a long-sleeve shirt at best but at the same time I don't want it super snug either

[@UrbanLadUK]

Hi!! The right size is large if you have 44 inches (112 cm) in the chest or less. Measure your chest under the armpit usually works this measurement unless you have a belly. I hope this helps. This jacket is not stretchy, is not roomy, but I think Xl for you is going to be too big

[@stephenhornback9051]

@UrbanLadUK just making sure even if you have broad shoulders with the build that I have? Kind of a boxer build little thicker through the neck and traps

[@stephenhornback9051]

@UrbanLadUK also for comparison I do wear an extra large in the free note tin cloth Riders jacket so if you own one of those sirius on how massages compare between that free note jacket versus the Filson

[@larsstenseth2351]

They shrink a little bit, maybe you should consider xl?

[@UrbanLadUK]

Good point. Do you wash it?

[@adamr63]

It's beautiful, a real classic. I'm between Medium and Large in most true to size brands,, and always wear size Small in Filson outerwear and shirts. The higher price of the Freenote waxed Riders jacket is justified by the luxurious flannel liner and the extra features such as the gusseted back and the pleats, which are more complex and time consuming to manufacture. I own and love the Freenote, I'm glad I chose it over the Filson for a short cruise or rider style waxed jacket. For a longer lighter waxed jacket that I needed, I ended up going for the one of the less well known but superb Schaefer Outfitter Western styled jackets, namely the High Plains Drifter. They make various styles, lined and unlined, that are a great value and compare favourably to anything on the market, as long as you like the roomy fit and the Western styling. They make a great alternative to Burberry of you don't want or are tired of the ubiquitous English countryside style, and don't need the zip-in accessories like liners and hoods.

[@UrbanLadUK]

The High Plains Drifter is on my list; the only problem is the high shipping cost!!! And the customs taxes

[@adamr63]

@@UrbanLadUK Yes, the shipping is very high, but I factored it in and it still came out a good value compared to other similar quality brands on the market. I live in Switzerland, the customs aren't too high either, and of course the Swiss franc is strong compared even to the US dollar. IIRC they could not reduce the shipping costs when I asked, but often brands that use Shopkeep or Shopify to manage online sales can manually adjust the shipping if asked, as the automatic calculations at checkout are well above the actual price of the shipping companies they use. I make it a habit to ask !

How tall are you? Stuck between choosing a L or XL.. I'm 184cm and 97kg. ( 6.0 and 214lbs

Too bad there isn't a women version of this exact jacket! any advice on other brands? otherwise I'll ust get a XS :):)

Take a look at Rogue Territory. Supply Jacket Tan Ridgeline waxed lined version; it is more expensive but slimmer than the Filson; another option cheaper and lighter, is Flint and Tinder waxed and lined has a woman’s sizes

Great review! Filson is just a shell of the former brand. This brand is straight up a fashion brand. IPA drinking hipsters try to look tough by wearing Carhartt and Filson, but they ain't foolin anybody. We know their hands are as soft as a baby's butt...

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! Since the Italians took over the brand, it became a fashion company. The Italians do that all the time. Check other iconic brands happen the same thing

[@highvel-kq2to]

Cold and cheaply made abroad. Filson uses a cheap, inferior cotton tee shirt like liner. The waxed jacket is clammy when you wear it. Given the exorbitant cost of this jacket, filson should have used a quality light wool liner and lined the pockets as well. You might want to look at their warmer choices - the CPO shirt and or the down insulated waxed shirt jacket. The upside is that while you are cold and clammy wearing this Cruiser, you look good. Smile if you can.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Sorry to hear that. I don't have your experience with these jackets, and I own two myself in different sizes, one for layer-up the other to wear in warmer weather, and so far the quality hasn't disappointed me 👍

@@highvel-kq2to Maybe not. But what Wax jackets are good quality in your opinion?

[@highvel-kq2to]

@@Oomph6006 I cant answer that. IDK. I have long been a fan of FIlson products, yet they seem to have compromised their products and service. I expect better only to be disappointed. I live and work in MT and want a jacket that is reasonably warm and looks good. This product looks good. I know if folks live in FL or MS or TX this likely works for them. Cotton (lining) should never be a choice for a jacket. My fault, I bought it. As to what other waxed products? I don't know. Carhartt did make a nice truckers jacket with a blanket lining years ago (no longer) that was warm and looked great. It was not waxed. Now, like filson, their products are manufactured abroad.

I'm sorry that you don't like the review. It is not an advertisement; I have not received any compensation or a free jacket to review, and it is not a partnership with Filson. Every garment or boot was bought with my own money. This video is just a reflection of my views on this jacket, and as I have done in my other reviews, I highlight if I find something that I don't like

Despite being made overseas, I like the style, the waxed canvas, and the construction (despite being made overseas); I like it so much that I have it in Tan L and Black XL. One is fitted, and one is for layering purposes. To me, it is a very casual and smart jacket
