Heyo! There are TWO active definitions of virgin wool! I’m going off WeatherWool’s blog but there is also another: “Virgin wool is the wool taken from a lamb's first shearing. This first lot of wool from a lamb is the finest and softest wool taken from a sheep during its life. Or it is wool that has not been processed or woven. Basically any wool that has not been recycled”

I own several Filson wool garmets: jackets, pants, hats, etc. and have enjoyed them very much. I also have two Weatherwool anoraks mid weight and heavy weight. The weatherwool fabric is superior in my opinion. It's much nicer to the touch and is more wind resistant. If anyone is on the fence go with WW hands down. Filson's quality is not what it once was and their pricing is almost as much as WW. Lastly, dealing with Ralph at WW is a joy. Their customer service is impeccable. Ralph has actually answered the phone everytime I've called! Nice video. Thanks for sharing

6 years ago I purchased a Filson Packer Coat for $495. Shortly after they discontinued the coat only for it to resurface with a flannel lining for quite a bit more money. It's now close to $1,000. I absolutely love this coat but think the latest management has totally messed with the company's product line. Discontinuing a lot of their heritage clothing in favor of more trendy items.

Michael, Weatherwool and FIlson both made a great Made in US Wool Coat-- But there are some other brands that I think you should consider in your quest for the greatest woolen coats. Those would be Bemidji Woolen Mills out of Bemidji, MN and Johnson Woolen Mills out of John, VT. While I've never had my hands on the Bemidji, the Johnson jackets are wondergully high quality-- albiet lined with tricot-- and both have been making the jackets in-house for a hundred years or more. Might be good jackets to test out- not sure if they're made with virgin wool or not.

JWM isn't using the tightest weave, and the wool has a lot of pilling. I've had mine a year and really love it though, it's great for the money but not the highest quality wool out there. Bemidji I'm not sure about, but they do offer a 30oz wool which nobody else does. I no longer see their hooded Mackinaw hunting coat on their site though.

a while back i researched unto this matter and came to filson but in the second hand market. I got an immaculate vintage 1980's filson double Mackinaw in green for £350. ive since seen the same coats in lesser conditions for in excess of £400-£1000 depending on pattern and condition, whether people will hit on these now for the price is another story but im glad i got mine when i did. imho it is the ultimate outdoor harshweather longlasting survival outer garment, if paired with a light waterproof poncho then theres no doubt in my mind it would probably last a lifetime of constant wear outside in the elements. functionality in design of pockets and with the cape for added thickness on shoulder chest and back is just well thought out. They simply dont make em like they used to..... that goes for most produced items nowadays dont it

Whenever ive seen vintage jackets with linings the outer made of wool is always near immaculate but the inner lining looks worn stained and off colour. obv wools self cleaning hypoallergenic etc etc but then the liners are the total opposite so your getting wool for longevity but the liners going to get ruined within like a year of constant use

I love Weatherwool and i love Filson! One thing i will say about the wool is that Filson wool is so thick it never pills. You can find Filson jackets that are 50 years old with zero pilling. Weatherwool on the other hand i have seen some of their stuff that is 5 year old that has some serious pilling making it look a lot less premium over time. With the thin comfy wool pilling is inevitable. For me for a true lifetime coat i prefer the double mackinaw cruiser over a Weatherwool jacket. It will itch a ton more but why would you ever wear a thick winter coat over just a t-shirt anyway? Just my opinion tho.

Yeah, it's tough to get the point across on how superior Weatherwool is to Filson without sounding like a dick. Filson has more of my money than Weatherwool. That said, if I could only have one it's an absolute no-contest win to Weatherwool. I personally prefer the old school style of Filson, but the total package Weatherwool offers is unbeatable. Just the performance alone is enough, but Alex and Ralph are incredible to deal with. I still buy stuff from Filson. I like Filson a lot. But it's not Weatherwool.

It’s strange how people equate size with masculinity. If the jacket fits, wear it. Just like a condom. 😂

Filson pockets are the perfect for men that carry a purse.

Filson prices are too high and the quality is in the toilet. I've got old filson products and my clothes were mostly Filson in the past but no more. They've turned into a ladies catalog order company instead of clothing for men. I'm kinda done donating to Filson and I hope my tin jacket lasts a few more seasons because it the last piece. Too mad Filson went the way of Abercrombie & Fitch.

The lining on the red Filson coat looks like a cheap trash bag and that bag costs nearly $1000.
