This is entirely too funny. This has no business being this comical 😂😂😂

Same here. Went to Filson to buy the rust buffalo like he’s wearing in this video, but they had the green in stock in my size, and well, I went with it and love it. That said, I kind of want his, too, but I definitely don’t have the finances for both.

I just ordered a lined charcoal/rope stripe packer. I wish it wasn’t lined but really it’s a minor gripe and will still be a great coat. It will be my first Filson product so I’m very excited.

It's certainly not a jacket for the faint of heart. You certainly draw a lot of comments on it.

Yep was thinking the same thing!

I agree! I got one of those to! Video will be coming soon. Thank you for the comment

I talked to customer service and the plaids are 26oz and the solids (green this year) is 24oz but thank you for the comment

They say it’s a relaxed fit but if you are a true medium and want to layer and have broader shoulders you might find the shoulder area in a the coat a bit restrictive

I just got another question similar to this on the double mackinaw. it’s currently minus 39 celsius right now as I’m replying. I was outside a couple hours ago taking some square straw bales to the animals and pitching hay to the horses, I was wearing the mackinaw wool anorak with a long sleeve wool base layer, a cotton button up shirt and sheepskin vest underneath I was very warm almost to warm I was starting to sweat. The double mackinaw or packer coat would be warmer than what I was wearing so I probably would have left the sheepskins vest out but still kept the base layer and button up. But.. there is no wind tonight. With a cold wind I’m sure I would have been colder because the wool isn’t the best protection against wind. Also if I was standing around not doing anything for the amount of time I was outside I would have gotten pretty cold even if I would have had the double mackinaw or packer on. So the temperature rating all depends on what you are going to be doing outside. And than you will need to layer accordingly to that activity. I could be standing around doing nothing at -15 and get cold but be doing chores being active at -40 and be warm. For weather like this if you want to know you will be warm my sheepskin is the warmest coat I have and protects against wind.

It’s a filson mens western flannel shirt in black. It’s a button up that’s cut a bit slimmer. I love it. Thanks for watching!

For me personally it has been worth it. I love the coat. No complaints. Definitely expensive tho. So i guess it comes down to if it suits your needs and financial situation. My favourite two are this one and the double mackinaw. Thanks for watching!

Yes. It does fit but is a bit bulky. The guide sweater fits the nicest

Same for me. My double mac is perfect in small, but had to return my green packer. It was a small but felt like an xs…

@@tonyrochette ordered an XL Packer. Fit is spot on!

There's really no consistency with Filson sizes. My double mack fit's much bigger than my wool pack. My tin pack fits a little snugger than my double mack. My tin cruisers fit entirely different. My mack cruisers are somewhat slimmer than everything else

Field geologist here. Wear Filson wool Mackinaw cruiser, tin cloth jackets, several other items, and this Packer in the field for work all the time. Cotton lining is not an issue. You sound like an armchair expert. Leave your mom's basement and get some work under your belt before you make embarrassing comments like this, son.

Did you pull the trigger on one? I used mine in our ice storm here in Texas last year where it was -2°F with -6° wind chill. Went walking & after half a mile had to drop the collar & open a chest button I was so hot with just a long sleeve flannel shirt underneath, so I’m sure I’d trust it well down to -30° with proper layering. In truth it really felt invincible

@@cvisenti I tried it on and I agree. It’s a nice coat. But def made for the cold cold. I couldn’t imagine wearing that coat in a typical Vancouver winter it’s almost overkill if be sweating haha but when I work up north it would be perfect. But it’s summer now and I’m lucky to live by the USA Canada border so I have two Filson stores pretty close by. Probably pick one up in a month or two when the weather isn’t so hot. I just wish it was a bit cheaper.

@@jessebooth2371 bought mine off eBay for $550US but still that’s a painful spend. Less painful after I put it to the test I must admit.

I’ve got a big plastic tote box I put all my Filson wool stuff into during off season. No critters can get in

I just hang it in my wooden wardrobe, as long as it’s dry and no bugs or mice can get to it, it should be fine.

Medium

I think you're misunderstanding what he is saying. The wool in the jacket is 100% wool. Not mixture. However, the lining of the jacket is his concern. The liner in the torso is 100% cotton. The sleeves are 100% polyester. Having 100% cotton next to skin can be a problem when it is wetted out in cold weather.

@@rustyshackleford17 you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Put on a cotton sweater, soak yourself then put on a wool coat, you'll be warm in 5 minutes. I mentioned blends because that's usually what you get these days. So for people who 2ant something comparable for a lower price, they can.

Hope that didn't come off as too critical; was trying to be helpful. Love the channel, btw.

Not at all! I greatly appreciate the input and support! Thank you

Or just good with money

I applaud you on your ability to display your bitter jealousy so openly. Most men would be ashamed to show their bitterness in such a poorly veiled fashion, lol.

@@madgepins1967 Touché!

Somebody has sand in their vagina

Were can you get the equivalent of the packer coat for half the price?

Hmm . . . that's funny. These grapes taste sour.
