Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.

My son’s best friend told us a story about Filson which sold me on all their stuff. A rancher here in Texas, near Abilene, wears their oil finish tin cloth pants. He had a pair that he said were app 10 years old, that he ripped on some brush. He called up Filson, and asked about their lifetime warranty. They sent him a brand new pair, no questions asked. That’s what this company is about.

Lots of complaints about not being made in the US and the prices of their product. What I don’t think a lot of people understand is that they’re quite possibly losing money on the US made items and subsidizing if by equally priced imported items. Additionally, the manufacturing sector in the US has been decimated. Logistically speaking it is very likely impossible to have some of their products made in the US simply due to supply chains.

I can say confidently that a lot, or virtually all of their stuff is overpriced. I heard that when they made a management change they upped their prices by 30%. That's a big change and they've probably had a bunch of increases over the years to deal with the rise cost of labour, materials, etc., but that 30% is purely an MBA move. Being overpriced is not to say the stuff is not useful, just that there is stuff you pay for besides the product.

Their Mackinaw Cruisers are still priced fairly for what you are getting as is some of their Rugged Twill luggage. After all are you really going to notice a difference cost wise, 20 or 30 years down the road when your gear is still running strong? As far as I’m concerned if my Cruiser or my 22oz Rugged Twill Filson luggage last 20 or 30 years, the prices they are charging are still more then fair.

It's a shame. I'm a die hard fan of the company, the history, and most of the products..... but since Bedrock got to them it really hasn't been the same. I recently got a wool cruiser, a wool hat, a wool brimmed hat, and a belt, all have been great, but I won't touch the good majority of their imported stuff. I wish they'd head back to their roots, hell, even the early 2000s, I'd prefer the "Lodge Line" over this Filson Dark Age. The worst part is, I don't think they're listening, just because they've become over corpratized. Oh the things I'd do if I could fix that company....... I hope change comes soon. If you are watching, Filson, change needs to come.

Filson, Redwing, Carhart, all those awesome brands we speak of are great. The problem as you kind of stated earlier, is the quality is so good the product takes for ever to wear out. That being said, as expensive as they are a lot of younger folks just getting started cant afford them and old guys like me (54) will never get the full use of it. I have 5 pair of Redwing boots now. A Filson wool vest I love. Carhart coats and bibs. My relatively cushy job that I don't need any of those types of clothes for, I just like the look and quality, will never wear them out. Oh well, I can pass them down. Brings merit to the old saying "buy once, cry once" . It's tough, but you will be money ahead in the long run.

As a member of TNP I love to see you shouting out Nutnfancy (the OG of gear reviews) and doing a catalog read! I have the short lined cruiser ton cloth jacket and just purchased the dry wax work jacket and I really like them both. The short cruiser is one of my favorite jackets ever and looks amazing after a few years of wear. We have a Filson store near me and it’s hipster paradise which makes me sad. This is a company with so much awesome history and it’s interesting to see them change from selling to men who wanted something durable to work in to men who are in love with the aesthetic of looking as though they don’t work behind a screen. Nothing wrong with working behind a screen but you don’t need to wear tin cloth to stay dry in a Starbucks.

Nut'N'Fancy is/was awesome. Insane. But awesome. I have the wool cruiser in olive green. It is exceptional. I expect to hand it down to my kids when I die, it is that heavy duty. Took it to Scotland and Ireland last summer, just an incredibly warm yet breathable fabric. Great on a motorcycle too when you want some breathability - the collar will flap though unless you pop it. Hipster squared, especially when paired with IR boots, but whatever LOL.

I like their tin cloth and their mackinaw wool. However, I kinda wonder why the dry tin is imported while the waxed tin is usa made. They now have some American made jeans called the Rail Cutter as of the catalog I got yesterday, and have a 13.5oz selvage. While id probably get the regular denim, id buy the selv from a specialist like bravestar. Though for the regular denim you can get like 2 maybe 3 pairs of Dearborn denim jeans which are also usa made.

Carl do you know that the Rugged Twill Filson has been using for their luggage pieces, for nearly 3 decades is also imported? It comes from Scotland, so that shouldn’t really serve as a knock against it, since it’s such a great material. Also if I wanted to be like everyone else I’d go with the Frank Clegg briefcase, but since I don’t, I instead would choose a Filson Leather Satchel from the 1980’s or 90’s.

I had Filson Highlander boots--leather uppers with Vibram lugged sole. They were pretty nice and comfortable until the sole came off the upper at the left heel. I'm not sure if the front part of the sole was sown to the upper but the heel area seemed to be glued only, no welt or stitch down apparent... That was a $375 boot. It should be noted that Filson and White's have collaborated on several boot offerings in recent years. For the most part they incorporate Tin Cloth into an existing Nick's boot offering. I tried a pair... nearly $600 with tax. I wish I had gone straight to White's and had a bespoke boot made for me with leather instead of the Tin Cloth. Live and learn... My most recent boots are Nick's Builder Pros and the Filson/White's boot are used for day hikes only.

Thanks for this video. Little precision about the thickness of the Jac-Shirt vs Mackinaw Cruiser : the Jac-Shirt shown in the catalog seems to be lighter than the cruiser (18oz vs 26oz). But the Jac-Shirt that you have ("Dark Militray Plaid") was in fact 26oz too, so it is the same weight than Mackinaw if not considering the cotton lining. I have that exact same Jac-Shirt, bought used (worn ten times) a few weeks ago. What a beast!

One thing to remember about the cruiser is it has a game pouch in the back, which makes the back double fabric (and warmer). The pockets in the front help in that respect too. Carl is correct that it will most likely outlast its owner.

They still have a few cool things but even more grossly overpriced than ever.

You're right, I've heard things about the early vs new Taylor Stitch but I got to know them a bit late. I do agree about the length though, and its not too bad because I like to tuck in my shirts.

Hey Carl, heads up, the camo pattern you were talking about that Carhartt uses for its heritage line and filson is using as well is the pattern used and provided to the US military during WW2, which I believe is called is M1942 pattern. Just wanted to throw that out there since the history is neat! It was designed by artists and painters for wartime to imitate foliage based on research that both the US and Germany was doing at the time.

So I've got an Alaskan Field Guide shirt from Filson, and it's very comparable to the Taylor Stitch heavy bag shirt. Very. The Filson fits a full size larger, though.

the boots are goodyear welted. the stuff that's not danner I believe is made at the same place as rancourt footwear.

Carl: your work is fantastic!! I would like to request something which might be right down your alley. Your style is in my wheelhouse but there are not many reviewers whose opinion I trust beyond yours. Murawski island - population: me. I would love to hear your faves lists. For example: best wool vest overall. Best work vest. Best-vest for your money. Etc. best work boot (I know: Nicks), best casual boot - dress boot - best boot for your money. Do flannels. Belts. Hats. Coats. Long sleeves. Tee shirts. Shoes. Socks. I am a Viking Sasquatch and am otherwise unable to dress myself without manly insight. I can’t afford guessing for hundreds of dollars until I find something of quality. PS - about to drop cash for the Nicks boot BTW.

@derrells123 3 жыл бұрын
Carl Murawski - sorry to bother with more. I have another idea: Please weigh the articles of clothing you review. I suspect the value and quality correlate very highly with higher weight comparatively - controlling for size and function of course. Baited is the breath upon which I will be waiting.

I'm not a particularly value-minded individual, especially when it comes to things made in the USA, Canada, and western Europe. However, I do draw the line when they're attempting to charge what they do for third-world made goods.

Theme: "A lot of money for what you get." I am still under Stockholm Syndrome with Filson, but they are testing me.

I wiil look at the coat very soon. Then i will probably wait for a spring/overstock sale. Thanks for the price information. I am willing to pay higher prices for Union made American stuff but there are limits. Currently my, temps in the mid 30s, jacket is a Columbia with the reflective liner. When it gets colder a Columbia vest under a very old insulated leather jacket. When it gets cold enough to need a parka I stay inside.

Nut'N Fancy is still making videos. You are right, he does not really do the catalog thing, perhaps only rarely getting into literature from vendors. He still does many of his classic things, like philosophy of use, and WROL. Nut'N is great, imo.

Filson gets there tin cloth, twill and cotton canvas fabrics from Haley Stevensons in Scotland just because it says imported isn’t a bad thing. They’re the best company in the cotton canvas world,

Another nice video Carl. With most brands you are paying for the name. Carhartt and others like that offer value with stuff being good quality for the price paid. Filson is a niche maker of clothes. They have a certain customer base who will buy their items no matter what. It pays to shop around for stuff you want..Filson is over priced, just like Duluth Trading is overpriced...

I agree with Filson, and sometimes you have to guess on the size. I’m almost always an X-large, but with filson, the X-Large was big , and the Large a bit small, they need to set stands on sizing... With backpacks, duffel bags, they are way too expensive, you can get a much nicer duffel, waxed canvas and leather at Frost River from Duluth, Bushcraft people love their backpacks, and I agree. Or is is hit or miss, not sure about Duluth Trading, theirs good and bad reviews on their products..., sizing being one of the issues. I’ve recently ordered from Carhart, and I do like their products allot, jacket perfect in XL, the shirt was big, so..., back and fourth again with size, but they are a bit better in this. I ordered a hoody , the heavy Rain Deffender, love it, roomy, but one washing in hot water and in the dryer, perfect.... I also love Fjallraven, expensive and same issues with size, seems to be the plague now a days. Great reviews, just ordered a filson wool Packer , hope it’s good...

Love Filson but it's just too expensive even for a hipster like me. Never buy a new Filson, since it lasts "forever" you might as well buy used.
